Deanne Panday, wellness coach and mother of Ahaan Panday, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a deeply emotional and heartfelt message for her son, along with adorable childhood pictures that reveal the boy behind the rising star.
“You Always Pointed to the Stars”: Deanne's Touching Throwback Post
In her long caption accompanying a series of nostalgic images, Deanne writes with the tenderness of a mother who has seen her son grow through every stage of life—from a premature newborn to a passionate performer ready to take on Bollywood.
“You always pointed up to the stars when you were young, I never knew why?” she begins, hinting at the quiet ambition that now shines on the big screen.
She recalls Ahaan’s childhood fondly—his love for bubble baths in a big bucket, his joy during poojas, and his sweet habit of feeding prasad to his grandmother. One of the photos shows baby Ahaan nestled in her lap, while another captures a moment of innocence as he takes a bath in a small tub.
“You were born premature, 40 days early, so tiny for so long, but grew so fast into this loving child,” she writes. “You loved your grandparents so much and always gave your all to your friends—you yet do.”
A Blessing-Filled Message for the Journey Ahead
Deanne’s message isn’t just a trip down memory lane; it’s also filled with wisdom and hope for Ahaan’s future. She urges him to stay grounded and kind, no matter the ups and downs fame may bring.
“Your simplicity & humbleness stayed with you from so young, your respect for the elderly... Good or bad, ups or downs, stay grounded & kind,” she writes. “We are so blessed to have you. Go shine & share your light with all always. Your Mumma. #blessedtohaveyou”
The heartfelt note drew warm responses from the industry. Bhavana Panday, wife of Chunky Panday and a close family friend, commented: “So true !!!!!! It’s all their blessings and his hard work and patience.” Meanwhile, Bobby Deol dropped red heart emojis, showing quiet support for the young actor.
