Saiyaara star Aneet Padda’s viral LinkedIn profile reveals BA in Pol Science from DU’s Jesus and Mary college, internship at Vistara

As Saiyaara continues to perform well and win attention for its cast and crew, fans have found more about the film’s lead actor Aneet Padda, this time, through her LinkedIn page. The film, which marked director Mohit Suri’s return, turned its two young leads, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, into rising stars. While Ahaan already had some visibility in the industry due to his family background, Aneet was relatively unknown before the film’s release. Now, details about her educational and professional background are surfacing online, drawing public interest and admiration.

Aneet Padda’s LinkedIn profile

Aneet’s official LinkedIn profile, reportedly created during her time at Jesus and Mary College in Delhi University, has surfaced on social media. Unlike most online discussions that often focus on criticism or trolling, this instance has seen a largely positive response from fans.

Her LinkedIn bio identifies her as a Political Science student, actor, singer-songwriter, and a former intern at Vistara. The profile appears to have remained unchanged for some time and does not include updates about her acting career post-Saiyaara.


The about section describes her interest in political science and its relevance in the modern world. It also highlights her passion for acting, which she believes supports her pursuit of a career in political science and human resources.

Fans react to Aneet’s academic profile

The profile caught wider attention after a Reddit user posted a screenshot of it on Sunday with the caption: "Beauty with brain." The post led to a series of comments praising her background and relatable image.

“It feels so refreshing to see someone normal is getting into Bollywood. She looks like one of us, and I'm all here for it,” one user commented. Another added, “She feels like one of us.”

A comment claimed that she was a topper in her Class 10 and 12 board exams in 2021 at Spring Dale School. Others drew comparisons with actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Sushant Singh Rajput, and Rakul Preet Singh, all of whom had strong academic credentials before entering Bollywood.

One comment read, “May god protect her from this evil industry.”
