Saiyaara’ Breakouts Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda Give First Joint Interview After Blockbuster Run

Their THR India sit-down caps a no‑promotion, music‑led rollout credited with driving roughly ₹563 crore worldwide.

Overview

  • Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda appear together for the first time on The Hollywood Reporter India cover and in a joint post‑release interview.
  • Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films kept the debutants off the promotional circuit, aiming to let the film and its soundtrack build word‑of‑mouth.
  • Ahaan reflects on years of delayed opportunities, says he felt wronged without growing bitter, and shares that his grandmother’s death shook his confidence.
  • Aneet recalls Ahaan taking her to Mumbai’s Mount Mary Church to light a candle as he wished she would win the part, and says her bedridden grandfather with Alzheimer’s recognised her in videos of the film.
  • The romance has grossed about ₹563 crore worldwide, ranking among 2025’s top debut‑led hits, while fan speculation about an off‑screen relationship remains unconfirmed.
