Amidst the success of ‘Saiyaara,’ rumors circulated regarding actress Aneet Padda getting the role due to industry connections, falsely linked to filmmaker Nitya Mehra. However, these claims are debunked, as Aneet was born in 2002, distinct from Nitya Mehra’s child born in 2019.
Mohit Suri’s recent release, ‘Saiyaara,’ garners praise and box office success. Speculation surrounds the actress’s industry ties. The ‘Nepo Baby’ rumor emerged on Reddit suggesting she is Nitya Mehra’s daughter. This misinformation stemmed from a viral Reddit post titled ‘Aneet Padda Nepo Kid.’ All allegations are baseless, as Nitya and Karan Kapadia have a child born in 2019, while Aneet’s birthdate is October 14, 2002.
Netizens’ confusion may have arisen when Aneet referred to the couple as her ‘Bombay parents’ during the ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ shoot. Aneet received support from Karan Kapadia, who directed the Amazon Prime Video show, while Nitya Mehra served as the producer.
Reports state that Aneet Padda, a talented actress, originates from Amritsar, belonging to a modest background. She pursued her education at Spring Dale Senior School and Jesus and Mary College, Delhi, initiating her modeling career there. Aneet’s family prefers privacy, with scant publicly available information. One known fact is that Aneet’s mother always encouraged her acting aspirations.
Prior to ‘Saiyaara,’ Aneet appeared in commercials and had a small role in Kajol’s movie, ‘Salaam Venky.’ Her OTT debut was in 2024’s ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry.’
