Aneet Padda, who rose to fame with Mohit Suri’s 2025 romantic hit Saiyaara, is now making headlines again — but this time for all the wrong reasons. The actress, who made her Bollywood debut in 2022 with Salaam Venky, recently took her first step into the modeling world at the Lakme Fashion Week 2025 Grand Finale. However, instead of applause, she found herself at the receiving end of online trolling.
Aneet Padda Shines in Golden Glam at Lakme Fashion Week
On October 12, Aneet Padda graced the ramp as showstopper for renowned designer Tarun Tahiliani. Dressed in a stunning golden sequin-draped gown styled like a modern saree, Aneet looked every bit elegant. The outfit, part of Tahiliani’s new collection Bejeweled, featured Swarovski crystals, a sweetheart neckline, and a corset-style body that highlighted intricate sequin work.
Her open curly hair, minimal diamond accessories, and subtle nude-toned makeup perfectly complemented the shimmering ensemble — making her look ethereal under the runway lights.
Fans Praise the Look but Troll the Walk
While Aneet’s outfit and grace received much appreciation, her ramp walk didn’t impress everyone. Several users on social media called her performance “robotic” and “stiff.”
One comment read, “Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra nailed ramp walks early in their careers — Aneet needs more practice.” Another added, “She looked stunning, but her walk lacked confidence.”
Despite the trolling, many fans defended her, pointing out that it was her first ramp appearance and a bit of nervousness was natural.
What’s Next for Aneet Padda?
Post-Saiyaara, Aneet’s popularity has skyrocketed. She has already signed endorsement deals with top brands like Tanishq and L’Oréal. Buzz also suggests that she will soon appear in a horror-comedy titled Shakti Shalini, marking her entry into a new genre.
With acting skills admired by critics and a growing presence in the fashion industry, Aneet Padda seems ready to conquer both worlds — despite the occasional online backlash.
