Aneet credited her school for laying the foundation for her dreams. “Dales is where I’ve grown up, where I’ve learnt how to dream big, where people believed in me long before I even had the courage to believe in myself,” she said, thanking her mentors, teachers, and even fellow students for their unwavering support.
She continued, “Every time I step onto a set now, there’s a part of me that’s still that little girl in a Springdale uniform, sitting in class, daydreaming about this exact life.”
A journey from Amritsar to Bollywood stardom
Aneet Padda, who was born and raised in Amritsar and comes from a non-filmy background, made her mark first in advertisements before debuting in Big Girls Don’t Cry. However, it was Saiyaara — directed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani — that brought her nationwide fame. The film, which also launched Ahaan Panday, has grossed over ₹278.75 crore at the Indian box office, making it one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025.
Closing her message with a promise, Aneet wrote, “I can’t wait to come back, and just say thank you to each of you, properly, face to face. You’ve given me so much more than an education, you’ve given me a piece of myself I’ll never lose.”
