Who is Aneet Padda, the 'Saiyaara' sensation who almost lost the role, acted in a film with Kajol and Aamir Khan?
It was Ahaan Panday who stepped in and that's how her second chance became an opportunity of a lifetime. Aneet has acted in Aamir Khan and Kajol's 2022 film Salaam Venky that also starred Vishal Jethwa read more Saiyaara, the film that has gone way ahead of everyone's expectations, stars newcomer Ahaan Panday, and his co-star is Aneet Padda. The reels have taken over social media. But who is the leading lady who's suddenly making waves? Well, if reports are to be believed, she was rejected and her audition was called 'disastrously bad.' It was Ahaan Panday who stepped in and that's how her second chance became an opportunity of a lifetime. Aneet has acted in Aamir Khan and Kajol's 2022 film Salaam Venky that also starred Vishal Jethwa. She was seen in last year's web-show Big Girls Don't Cry. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Aneet Padda was born on 14 October 2002 to a middle class family in Amritsar, Punjab. While modelling in advertisements, Padda simultaneously completed a bachelor's degree from Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi. What keeps Saiyaara afloat is how two new faces submit to the vision of a filmmaker despite the messiness and imperfection of the narrative. What also holds the film together is the stunning title track even if the other songs may not have the lasting legacy of Suri's previous works. It may not have the gorgeousness of the other love stories, but it may drag its feet, but the intent and inherent sincerity make up for it. Because when is love ever perfect? There haven't been too many promotional activities for Saiyaara. It's a film that stars two newcomers, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. During the promotions, director Mohit Suri has been speaking about the comparisons with Rockstar and Aashiqui 2. He revealed how his wife asked him if he had his own filmmaking style like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Pradeep Sarkar. It has been two decades for the filmmaker and now it seems he has his own voice and versions of telling a story. He's milking the same emotions packaged in different tales. The hero is a reckless maniac, the heroine is a fragile soul bruised inside out. And just like many of his previous outings, Saiyaara too begins with a heartbreaking moment.

Indian study finds what makes thyroid cancer aggressive, recurrent and treatment-resistant: What this means for precision therapy
In a significant leap for cancer research and precision medicine, an Indian study has decoded the complex genetic architecture of thyroid cancer — one of the most common endocrine malignancies. Researchers from Tata Memorial Centre and the University of Delhi, South Campus, have shed new light on how thyroid cancer behaves in Indian patients, identifying novel risk genes and molecular subtypes that could revolutionise diagnosis and treatment. Published in 'JCO Global Oncology,' the research is spearheaded by graduate student Vaishakhi Trivedi under the mentorship of Dr Kumar Prabhash and Dr Amit Dutt. 'Our work not only adds data to global cancer databases —it also redefines what is known about thyroid cancer in the Indian population,' Dr Dutt said. The rogue gene in the most common thyroid cancer The study concerns papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), which accounts for 80-85 per cent of all thyroid cancer cases in India. This is considered treatable. The team analysed DNA from 100 Indian patients and found mutations in the DUOX2 gene found in nearly nine per cent of cases. 'This gene, previously known for its role in thyroid hormone production, now appears to be a genetic red flag for recurrence and poor prognosis. This is the first time DUOX2 has been implicated as a predisposing factor in PTC. It offers an opportunity for early detection and potentially life-saving interventions,' Dr Dutt said. Study uncovers two distinct molecular subtypes The study even identified two different subtypes associated with aggressive cancer and high recurrence. The BRAF-RAS-driven subtype makes up 62 per cent of cases and is identified by mutations that are often tied to more aggressive tumour behaviour. The iBR (Independent of BRAF-RAS) subtype is a newly-defined category. 'This group lacks traditional mutations but shows alarming signs of treatment resistance and high recurrence. It is marked by alterations in genes like SMAD4 and TG — a previously uncharted territory for thyroid oncologists,' said Dr Dutt. This dual classification signals a new era of care where treatments are tailored to the patient's genetic profile rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Cracking the genetic code of an aggressive form of thyroid cancer While PTC is common and often curable, anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is its deadly cousin — rare, fast-moving and resistant to nearly every treatment in the book. The research team examined 68 samples and found mutations in the THRA gene in 11 per cent of Indian patients. This is in sharp contrast to Caucasian datasets. 'THRA, a gene tied to thyroid hormone signalling, appears to be a key player in cellular plasticity or the process by which cancer cells morph, lose their identity and become more aggressive. THRA mutations are like flipping the switch. They make the cancer harder to kill but they also give us a target. That's a rare silver lining,' Dr Prabhash explained. What this means for Indian patients — and the world These findings offer practical methods of how thyroid cancers are diagnosed, treated and managed in Indian patients. 'Patients with DUOX2 mutations could be monitored proactively, much like BRCA testing in breast cancer. This may help in diagnosing aggressive PTC early and prevent a relapse,' Dr Dutt said. Researchers also added that therapies that restore THRA function may finally give ATC patients a fighting chance. 'We need a personalised roadmap for thyroid cancer. With the promise of advanced tools like CRISPR gene editing and small-molecule inhibitors, these discoveries could soon migrate from the lab bench to the bedside,' the researchers said. 'Genetic profiling should be as routine as a biopsy,' said Vaishakhi Trivedi. 'We have the science. Now we need the systems to support it.'
