He also stated that, as newcomers, they didn’t expect anyone to watch the film. Ahaan was all praise for Aneet, stating that he would call her a ‘senior’ on set because she seemed to know what she was doing. “I remember taking her to different places of worship, just praying, not for a hit but simply that the film would recover its cost so we could keep getting work and continue doing what we love,” he said. Ahaan also recalled his and Aneet’s reactions when the audience turned up in large numbers to watch Saiyaara. “Then on the morning of the release, someone from the direction team sent us a video of people waiting outside a theatre. I couldn’t believe it. I said, “This can’t be for our film.” He said, “Bro, it is.” I called Aneet, I called Mohit sir, asking, “Is this real?” And he said, “Yeah, it’s happening. People are actually watching the film.” After that, it was just two months of pure shock,” he said.About SaiyaaraDirected by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara starred Ahaan and Aneet as Krish and Vaani, a couple who fall in love and fight odds due to her medical condition.
