Ahaan Panday may be enjoying the spotlight now with his hit debut film Saiyaara, but his early years tell a very different story!
Ahaan Panday may be enjoying the spotlight now with his hit debut film Saiyaara, but his early years tell a very different story. While the romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri, has crossed 105 crore in just four days, the actor behind all the buzz grew up in a surprisingly modest way despite coming from a well-known Bollywood family. Not to be too dramatic, but the young heartthrob used to live in a corridor till the age of 14,
Ahaan Panday Used To Live In A Corridor
In a video appearance on his sister Alanna Panday’s YouTube channel, Ahaan recalled that until the age of 14, he didn’t even have a proper room of his own. Instead, he lived in a converted corridor inside their family home. “It was originally just a passageway,” he shared. “One end had my dad’s room, the other was my grandmother’s and I was in the middle.” He joked about how everyone in the house would casually pass by, often catching him in nothing but a towel.
The Pandays lived in a joint family setup in their earlier years, sharing space with Chunky Panday, Bhavana Pandey, and their daughters Ananya and Rysa. Alanna and Ahaan lived with their parents Chikki and Deanna Panday and grandparents under the same roof. While there was no shortage of love, there certainly was a shortage of rooms. Alanna chimed in during the video, defending the makeshift space:
“It wasn’t just a corridor it was made into a room!” Still, Ahaan insisted it started out as a hallway and said he always felt like the least pampered member of the house.
Despite the lack of personal space, Ahaan looks back fondly at those years. “I wouldn’t change a thing,” he said. “It was chaotic, but it was full of love.”
