The romantic-comedy drama ‘Prem Keetanu’ has hit theatres on October 2, with Veer Pahariya and Aafiya Sayed in the lead roles. While Veer is already known to Bollywood audiences, Aafiya Sayed has grabbed attention with her debut in the film. Before making her big screen debut, Aafiya built her foundation through theatre and short films. Her debut in ‘Prem Keetanu’ has already generated strong buzz, marking her as a promising new face in Hindi cinema.
Who Is Aafiya Sayed?
Aafiya, who made her Hindi film debut with ‘Prem Keetanu’, plays the character of Suhani, a college student caught between two boys in the romantic-comedy drama. Veer Pahariya plays the male lead opposite Aafiya in the film.
She has a growing Instagram following. Unlike many new-age celebrities, Aafiya maintains a relatively low-key presence on social media. She had around 14.5K Instagram followers at the time of publication.
Even before the film’s theatrical release, Aafiya attracted attention during the promotions, music launch and screening events of Prem Keetanu. Her fashion choices and graceful appearances became a talking point as she stepped out for promotional events.
Aafiya comes from a family with an established connection to Bollywood. She is the niece of filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala. Aafiya is the daughter of Sajid Nadiadwala’s sister, Afifa Nadiadwala Syed.
