Saiyaara, which marked Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s Bollywood debut, released on July 18
Saiyaara has done exceptionally well at the box office, and the film completed 50 days in theatres too. With a solid run and great reviews for both the story and the performances, as well as the songs, everyone’s now waiting to see what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have in store for them next.
Ahaan & Aneet’s Mount Mary Story
Recently, the duo spoke to THR India, and in a heartfelt text, the two revealed how Mount Mary Church is so special to them, and in fact, they both made interesting revelations about their visit too.
Aneet, revealing how Ahaan actually prayed for her and what went down during their visit to the church, said, “When I was still auditioning for Saiyaara, Ahaan had taken me to Mount Mary Church and we’d lit a candle and sat in the car and I asked him, ‘What did you wish for?’ Then, a week later, I got the call (that I’d gotten the role), and he said, ‘Of course, I’d wished that you’d get the role.’”
Ahaan also revealed how they visited the church again and how things have been post the movie release and said, “After the film released, Mohit sir, Aneet and I went back to Mount Mary. There are a lot of things that were magical about the film; so many things that came together in ways I cannot explain.”
Saiyaara Completes 50 Days
Meanwhile, as the movie clocked 50 days, they shared a joint note which read, “Today marks 50 days of a film that brought us to the world and the world to us. The love that we have gotten feels like a testament to the fact that if you believe in magic, if you feel it, the world may just feel it with you. Today marks a quiet moment for us, we close our eyes and all we see is you. The way you felt something with us, the way you made what was one of a kind for us, yours too. Thank you for being as vulnerable as us, for letting us in, for reminding us that honesty and love are more powerful than anything else in this world, and that knowing will always be the most beautiful thing we carry forward.”
Saiyaara was released on July 18, 2025, and is directed by Mohit Suri.
