The Door Incident
Asked about his “fondest memory” with Ananya, the new star didn’t hesitate. “Fondest memory of Ananya is when she hit me with the door. I was bleeding, I was rushed to the hospital.” Alanna, amused and surprised, chimed in too, but Ahaan clarified the prank was a group effort.

He recalled how Alanna had rushed into his room, urging him to come quickly for a “magic trick.” Excited and unsuspecting, a young and naive Ahaan ran out—only to have the door slammed on his head as part of the joke. What was meant to be funny ended with a trip to the hospital, making it a painfully unforgettable memory.
