**Saiyaara Star Aneet Padda to Appear for Final Year College Exams Before Starting Shoot for Shakti Shalini**
Aneet Padda, who rose to fame as the biggest Gen Z face in Indian cinema after delivering the highest-grossing love story in the country’s history, is set to give her college final year exams this December and January.
A source close to Aneet shared, “It is incredible that Aneet Padda is so young, yet she has become such a massive success story in our country. The Gen Z face of India will be appearing for her college final year exams in December and January before beginning the shoot for her next film, *Shakti Shalini*, directed by Dinesh Vijan. She is headlining this much-anticipated project.”
Currently, Aneet is pursuing a B.A. (Hons.) in Political Science. Balancing her demanding work commitments and academics, she is dedicatedly preparing for her final-year exams. The source added, “Her schedule is being managed perfectly to ensure she can allocate ample time to her studies while prioritizing her professional work.”
Aneet Padda made her big-screen debut as the YRF heroine in the film *Saiyaara*. Alongside co-star Ahaan Panday, the film made history at the box office, becoming 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 producer Dinesh Vijan for his Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) project, *Shakti Shalini*. At just 22 years old at the time of signing, Aneet became the youngest actor ever to headline a franchise in Indian cinema.
*Shakti Shalini* is scheduled for release on December 24, 2026. This milestone has further cemented Aneet’s place in history as the youngest actor to have a holiday release—a coveted slot traditionally reserved for the biggest superstars in the country.
