Aadhya Anand Confesses Sidharth Malhotra Was Her First Crush

Aadhya Anand, a rising star in the digital entertainment space, has made a significant mark with her performances in web series like "Bombay Begums" and "Crushed." The young actress has been an integral part of "Crushed" since its inception, and with the recent launch of its fourth season on Amazon mini TV, the series continues to captivate audiences with its youthful narrative centered around love and relationships.

During a recent interaction with Filmibeat, Anand shared insights into her personal life, revealing her first celebrity crush to be Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra. With a light-hearted laugh, she mentioned, "My first crush as such will always be Sidharth Malhotra. Not anymore right now because I have let him go. It's celebrity crush, no other crush."

The success of "Crushed" over four seasons is a testament to the love and support it has received from viewers. Reflecting on this journey, Anand expressed gratitude towards the audience, stating, "From season 1 we never expected anything because our main motive was that we wanted to create a wholesome show for everyone to enjoy, be it any generation. We felt so much love and support that we were getting for people, and I think that's what pushed us to make 2, 3, and 4 seasons for the audience who was giving us so much love and we thought we need to give it back to them."

The series kicked off on Amazon mini TV in January 2022 and quickly gained popularity, leading to the release of four seasons within two years. The first two seasons debuted in 2022 itself, with season 2 streaming in December 2022. Alongside Anand, "Crushed" features talented actors Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Naman Jain, and Urvi Singh.

When discussing their first crushes, the cast shared varied responses. Rudhraksh Jaiswal named Hollywood actress Margot Robbie as his first crush, while Urvi Singh admitted to having a crush on pop sensation Justin Bieber. Naman Jain recounted a humorous anecdote from his childhood about confessing his crush to a girl in second standard, only for it to lead to an awkward conversation between their mothers.

The narrative of "Crushed" resonates with the youth by exploring the complexities of love life through relatable characters and situations. Its success over multiple seasons highlights the evolving landscape of digital entertainment and the growing appetite for web series that reflect contemporary themes and experiences.
