'Saiyaara' actor Ahaan Panday was the least pampered, would sleep in corridor: 'Everyone would see me in a towel'
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda 's film 'Saiyaara' has made history with its box office numbers. The film has minted highest opening weekend number for a love story in Hindi cinema. The Mohit Suri directorial has turned Ahaan and Aneet into stars overnight. But do you know that during his growing up years, Ahaan had a humble beginning. He is Ananya Panday 's cousin and Chunky Pandey 's brother Chikki Pandey's son. In a video shared on Ahaan's sister Alanna Panday's Youtube channel, the family spoke about their early years when they all lived together. In the clip, Ahaan shared a rarely seen glimpse into his upbringing, recalling what it was like growing up in a packed joint household despite his family's film connections. He revealed that he didn't enjoy the luxuries one might assume. 'I can't give you a specific one but I do know that I was the least pampered. I know that because I lived in a corridor for 7 years of my life,' he said, to the surprise of many viewers. Alanna quickly interjected to clarify the situation: 'It was not a corridor. It was a room built.' But Ahaan doubled down with a smile, offering more detail: 'It was a room built in a corridor. It was a corridor first. One side was the exit, and the other side were my dad and Dadi's bedrooms. I was in the passageway. Everyone would see me in my towel every day.' Today, the contrast couldn't be starker. Ahaan now resides in a sprawling four storey home in Mumbai, complete with a game room and separate staff quarters—built by his father, businessman Chikki Panday. But those early years, he says, are part of what made him who he is. The video also saw the siblings reminisce about their extended family life, which included not only their immediate relatives but also Chunky Panday, Bhavana Panday (familiar to many from Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives), and cousins Ananya and Rysa Panday. 'We lived in a joint family. There's limited space. Would you rather live in a joint family full of love than have your own space and live separately?' Alanna asked. Ahaan nodded, adding warmly, 'It was great. I won't have it any other way.'

Saiyaara Star Ahaan Panday Was 'Least Pampered', Slept In A Passageway: 'They'd See Me In My Towel'
Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday shared stories from his childhood and revealed he once lived in a corridor until he was 14. Saiyaara Actor Ahaan Panday: Ahaan Panday might be riding high on the blockbuster success of Saiyaara, but things weren't always so shiny for him growing up. The 26-year-old actor, who made a splash with his debut in Mohit Suri's film, recently opened up in a YouTube video about some very humble beginnings inside a very full house. Despite being the nephew of 80s star Chunky Panday and having a well-connected family, Ahaan said he often got the short end of the stick as a kid – starting with his bedroom. In a video appearance on sister Alanna Panday and her husband Ivor's channel, he revealed, 'I can't give you a specific one but I do know that I was the least pampered. I know that because I lived in a corridor for 7 years of my life." Alanna, who has featured Ahaan in several of her videos before, quickly jumped in to clarify. 'It was not a corridor. It was a room built." But Ahaan was clear on the layout. 'It was a room built in a corridor. It was a corridor first. One side was the exit, and the other side were my dad and Dadi's bedrooms. I was in the passageway. Everyone would see me in my towel everyday." Now living in a four-storey home built by his father Chikki Panday in Mumbai, Ahaan shared that the mansion comes with its own game room and separate staff flats – a long way from his makeshift bedroom growing up. The video also saw Alanna reflect on their joint family life, which included not just her immediate family but also Chunky, Bhavana Panday (known from Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives), and cousins Ananya and Rysa Panday. 'We lived in a joint family. There's limited space. Would you rather live in a joint family full of love than have your own space and live separately?" she said. Ahaan nodded in agreement, adding, 'It was great. I won't have it any other way." While the behind-the-scenes stories from his childhood have been getting attention online, Ahaan's career is already hitting major milestones. Saiyaara has raked in over Rs 105 crore in just four days – a rare feat for a debut film in recent years. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ahaan Panday lived in a ‘corridor' till he was 14, tried smoking at 15 with sister Alanna: ‘I was the least pampered member in the family'
After the release of Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, actor Ahaan Panday is enjoying the kind of stardom that has been unprecedented for a newcomer in recent years. Ahaan is the nephew of popular 1980s actor Chunky Panday and while this is his first appearance in the movies, Ahaan has been a constant presence on social media for many years now and has appeared on his sister Alanna's YouTube channel numerous times. It was during one of these appearances that Ahaan opened up about his childhood as he grew up in a joint family, and also recalled how his sister Alanna, and cousins Ananya Panday and Rysa Panday, often got him into trouble. While Ahaan now lives in a four-floor mansion made by dad Chikki Panday in the heart of Mumbai, which has a game room and separate flats for staff members, there was a time when Ahaan was allotted the least likable room in the house. Ahaan shared in a video on Alanna & Ivor's YouTube channel that he lived in a corridor in his house till the age of 14. During the video, when he was asked about the 'most pampered' person in his house, he said that he was the 'least pampered' member of the family. He shared, 'I can't give you a specific one but I do know that I was the least pampered. I know that because I lived in a corridor for 7 years of my life.' As soon as Ahaan said this, Alanna interrupted him and said, 'It was not a corridor. It was a room built.' And he finished her sentence, 'It was a room built in a corridor. It was a corridor first. One side was the exit, and the other side were my dad and Dadi's bedrooms. I was in the passageway. Everyone would see me in my towel everyday.' ALSO READ | Ship of Theseus director Anand Gandhi reveals he directed Tumbbad, not Rahi Anil Barve: 'I scrapped what had been shot, reshot it' Alanna recalled that back then, they lived in a joint family which meant that they shared their living space with Chunky and his wife Bhavana, of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives fame, and their daughters Ananya and Rysa. Their parents – Chikki and Deanna Pandey were also in the same house, along with their paternal grandparents. Chikki and his family continue to live in the same house. Alanna recalled her childhood and said, 'We lived in a joint family. There's limited space. Would you rather live in a joint family full of love than have your own space and live separately?' Ahaan agreed and shared that he too cherishes his childhood memories.. 'It was great. I won't have it any other way,' he said. In the same video, Ahaan also recalled that he tried his first cigarette when he was 15-16, and it was his sister Alanna who first made him try smoking. 'When I was 16, Alanna called me into her bathroom and she made me try my first cigarette,' he said as Alanna got visibly embarassed. 'You can't say this sh*t man. He's lying. I am telling you,' she tried to interrupt. Ahaan further recalled the details of the kind of cigarette that he tried and Alanna tried to stop him from divulging more. 'He's making me sound like such a bad sister,' she said and added, 'I was just excited that I had discovered something and I wanted to share it with him.' He snarkily commented, 'I was 15. I had underdeveloped lungs and you are giving me cigarettes, all out of love.' Ahaan's debut film has made over Rs 105 crore in the first four days at the box office. This year, this feat has only been achieved by Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava, which made Rs 140 crore in the first four days, and earned over Rs 600 crore through its run in theatres. Films of superstars like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Sunny Deol haven't seen the kind of success that Saiyaara has experienced in the cinemas.
