“Saiyaara” actress Aneet Padda’s old LinkedIn profile goes viral, wins hearts

The movie “Saiyaara” has lit up cinemas and is racing toward the Rs 300-crore mark, but the internet’s attention has shifted to more than just its box office success. One of the film’s breakout actors, Aneet Padda, has become the subject of an unexpected online obsession, leading fans to her old LinkedIn profile.

While co-star Ahaan Panday was already a familiar face within Bollywood circles, Aneet entered the spotlight as a relative newcomer. But her grounded persona and compelling performance have catapulted her to instant stardom, and sparked curiosity about her pre-Bollywood life.

The profile, apparently created during her college years at Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi, where she studied Political Science, recently went viral on social media.

The account reveals not only her academic background but also a stint as an intern at Vistara, and her talents as a singer-songwriter and actor.

However, what’s captivated fans the most is the tone of her ‘About’ section. Aneet’s writing reflects her passion for social change, human resources, and her academic interests, all of which, she says, are influenced by her acting experiences.

A Reddit thread that shared a screenshot of the profile was captioned, “Beauty with brain”.

“She doesn’t feel like a typical Bollywood debut – it’s nice to see someone with such a normal background,” one user commented. Another added, “There is something really genuine about her. Like someone you would sit next to in class.”
