Saiyaara star Aneet Padda, widely regarded as the biggest Gen Z face in India after delivering the all-time highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema, is set to give her college final-year exams in December and January!

Aneet Padda Prepares for Final-Year College Exams Before Shakti Shalini Shoot
A source informs, “It is incredible that Aneet Padda is so young, and she has become such a massive success story in our country. The Gen Z face of India is set to give her college final-year exams in December and January before she starts shooting for her next, Dinesh Vijan’s Shakti Shalini—a film that she is headlining.”

Aneet is currently studying for her final exams while pursuing a B.A. (Hons.) in Political Science. She is balancing both work and studies, with her schedule carefully managed so that she can dedicate ample time to her academics while fulfilling her priorities at work.

Saiyaara marked Aneet’s big-screen debut as the YRF heroine. The film, which also starred Ahaan Panday in the lead, made history with its box-office success, emerging as the biggest launchpad for any newcomer since Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, which released 25 years ago!

The impact of Aneet’s performance in Saiyaara was so profound that she was handpicked by Dinesh Vijan for his blockbuster Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) project, Shakti Shalini. Remarkably, Aneet is now the youngest actor ever to headline a franchise in Indian cinema, having signed the film at just 22.

Shakti Shalini is scheduled to release on December 24, 2026. This milestone makes Aneet the youngest actor ever to secure a Holiday release—an honour usually reserved for the country’s biggest superstars!
