Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda Recall Emotional Goodbye on “Saiyaara” Sets

Months after its release, Saiyaara continues to shine as one of the year’s biggest cinematic surprises—earning record-breaking collections and cementing itself as a modern romantic classic. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film not only won over audiences but also introduced Bollywood to two fresh faces: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Their effortless chemistry and strong performances turned them into overnight sensations.

In their first joint interview since the movie’s success, the debutants revisited some of the most emotional moments from their filming days. Aneet Padda revealed that the last day on set was particularly overwhelming, with both her and Ahaan breaking down in tears. “Everyone kept saying, ‘You’ll still meet for promotions and shoots,’ but the truth was—what we had been doing together for an entire year had come to an end,” she shared.

he actress also opened up about how Saiyaara marked a turning point in her personal life. For years before the film, she had struggled with anxiety and depression, but during the project, she found herself genuinely enjoying the work again. She recalled that their most memorable scenes were often the simplest ones—where neither of them overthought their performances and simply let the emotions guide them.

For Ahaan, Saiyaara was not only a professional breakthrough but also a deeply personal victory after nearly a decade of waiting for the right debut. His persistence through setbacks finally paid off, with the film crossing over ₹570 crore worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing Indian romantic drama to date.

Even though the cameras stopped rolling long ago, the memories of Saiyaara continue to resonate with its stars. For audiences and for Ahaan and Aneet alike, the film has become more than just a love story—it’s a reminder of how cinema can change lives both on and off screen.
