Turns out, Ahaan Panday’s Bollywood debut isn’t the only interesting thing about his family. His father, Chikki Panday—a businessman and close friend of Shah Rukh Khan—once helped bail SRK out of jail back in 1994, alongside actor Nana Patekar. The connection runs deep, with Ahaan and SRK’s son, Aryan Khan, also being pals. It’s one of those "small world" moments that makes Bollywood’s inner circle feel even tighter.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a fun throwback—it’s a peek into how intertwined Bollywood’s relationships are, where personal bonds span decades and even generations. For fans, it’s a reminder that behind the glitz, the industry runs on friendships (and occasional bailouts). For Ahaan, it’s an intriguing footnote as he steps into the spotlight.
