Aneet Padda, the star of Saiyaara 2025 and Mohit Suri's actress, has recently garnered a lot of fame. The movie and the cast collectively gained a lot of appriciation.
There was recent post making claims that Aneet is actually a duaghter of a famous Indian film director. The rumour started with a viral Reddit thread that made the wrong claims. The reddit post is read as- "Aneet Padda isn’t exactly starting from scratch when it comes to the film world. Her parents, Nitya and Karan, are already involved in movie production, which gives her a solid behind-the-scenes connection to the industry. It’s not surprising then that big names like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, and Rohit Saraf follow her mother on social media, clearly, she’s already part of those inner circles. I have attached the screenshots."
While in reality, Aneet is in not a 'nepo kid' and by no means shares any family connection with Bollywood pair Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia. Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia, became parents in 2019 and Aneet was born in 2002. This facts clearly indicates that Aneet is not the daughter is Niya and Karn Kapadiya
This mix-up happened as Aneet mentioned Bombay parents, Big Girls Don't Cry film director Karan Kapadia and producer Nitya Mehra, while shooting for Big Girls Don't Cry. 'Bombay parents' is a phrase applied to guardians of a given place and was purely metaphorical; and had nothing biologic was meant in the post.
People assumed, Nitya Mehra to be Aneet Padda’s mother and eventually started attaching the title of a nepo kid with actor Aneet’s name.
Aneet Padda is a middle-class Sikh Jatt background from Amritsar, Punjab. She did her early schoolings at Spring Dale Senior School and graduated in Sociology from Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi. Though her father has stepped into the background as much as Anneet's professional ambition is concerned, her mother has been very supportive towards her daughter's entrances into acting.
Before her breakout with Saiyaara, Aneet appeared in ads for brands like Nescafé, Cadbury Dairy Milk, and Paytm and played a supporting role in 2022's Salaam Venky. She then appeared in the 2024 Amazon Prime Video web series Big Girls Don't Cry, for which she received critical praise. Her starring role in Saiyaara, opposite Ahaan Panday and directed by Yash Raj Films, has placed her among Bollywood's brightest stars.
Briefly, Aneet Padda's fame is the result of her talent, hard work, and interruptions in terms of trials and guidance and not nepotism. The rumors linking her to Bollywood insiders as a nepo child are factually inaccurate and misleading
