Aneet Padda made waves at the box office in 2025 when her big-banner film Saiyaara, co-starring Ahaan Panday, hit theatres. Since then, she has become a clear internet favourite, with netizens obsessing
over everything from her airport appearances to her upcoming projects. With her graceful charm and striking screen presence, Aneet quickly turned into everyone’s crush, but who does she have a crush on? We’ve got the answer. It’s Dune star Timothee Chalamet. A resurfaced comment from seven years ago has now gone viral, revealing that the Hollywood actor has been Aneet’s teenage crush all along.
Is Timothee Aneet Padda's teenage crush?
While scrolling through Timothee Chalamet’s official Instagram handle, fans discovered a comment by Aneet Padda from seven years ago that has now resurfaced online. In the comment, Aneet cheekily asked the actor to confess his love, writing, “Just frickin confess your love to me already. Thank you.” The sweet throwback strongly hints that the
Saiyaara star had a childhood crush on Timothee. The post in question features the actor in a monochrome candid picture, covering his face with both hands, captioned “IuOmO,” which translates from Latin to “The Man.” Take a look:
