While his father, Chikki Panday, and uncle, Chunky Panday, are known by their nicknames, many believed Ahaan Panday’s name was his real one. However, in a recent interview, the Saiyaara star revealed that both he and his sister, Alanna Panday, have different Hindu names inspired by Yash Raj Films.
Ahaan, son of businessman Aloke “Chikki” Panday and fitness expert-author Deanne Panday, shared that since his father is Hindu and mother is Christian, they were given two names. His grandmother, who was very close to him, called him “Raj” and dreamed he would be part of Yash Raj Films. His sister’s Hindu name is Chandni, after the iconic YRF film, while his own Hindu name is Yash.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Ahaan explained why he chose to debut with Yash Raj Films despite other offers. “When Aditya Chopra asked me, it was instinctive. It was my childhood dream, something my grandmother wished for. I wanted to be a writer, but I did this for her.”
