In the ever-watchful world of the internet, nothing remains forgotten for long — especially when it comes to celebrity interviews and throwback moments. Recently, an old interview featuring actress Khushi Kapoor has resurfaced online, reigniting chatter among fans and sparking an unexpected connection to one of the year’s biggest film hits, Saiyaara.
The clip in question dates back to Khushi’s early media appearances, well before her acting debut, when she was asked to choose between two popular star kids: Ahaan Panday and Aryan Khan. Without hesitation, the younger Kapoor sibling, known for her poise and charm, picked Ahaan Panday. At the time, her response raised a few curious eyebrows but quickly faded from public discourse. However, with Ahaan currently basking in the massive success of Saiyaara, the interview has returned to the spotlight — and this time, fans can’t stop talking about it.
The resurfaced video has gone viral on social media, with netizens now drawing intriguing “what if” scenarios involving Khushi and Ahaan. One popular comment read, “Imagine Khushi Kapoor opposite Ahaan in Saiyaara — they would’ve looked amazing together!” Another user chimed in, “She chose Ahaan back then, and now he’s ruling the box office. Manifestation much?”
Saiyaara, the emotional romantic thriller starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. Its staggering box office numbers, combined with Ahaan’s impressive debut performance, have catapulted him into the spotlight almost overnight. Naturally, the rediscovery of Khushi’s admiration for him in an old interview has added an interesting twist to the narrative.
Some fans even went a step further, creating fan edits and mock posters imagining Khushi as the female lead in Saiyaara. Though Aneet Padda has won hearts for her graceful and grounded performance, many wondered how different the film might have looked with Khushi sharing screen space with Ahaan — both belonging to high-profile Bollywood lineages and having a strong social media following.
Khushi, who made her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, is yet to announce her next big project. However, she remains in the public eye thanks to her fashion-forward appearances and media buzz. Meanwhile, this renewed fan interest in her earlier comment has turned into a mini social media phenomenon, showing just how interconnected the worlds of fandom, film gossip, and stardom can be.
While there’s no indication that Khushi and Ahaan will collaborate anytime soon, fans are clearly rooting for the possibility. As one tweet humorously put it, “She saw the star in him before the world did. Queen energy!”
In a world where a single clip can spark casting dreams and fan theories overnight, Khushi Kapoor’s simple answer from the past has suddenly taken on a new life. Whether or not this leads to an on-screen pairing in the future remains to be seen — but for now, it’s clear the internet hasn’t forgotten, and the buzz is louder than ever.
