Shraddha Kapoor’s Emotional Tribute to Saiyaara
On Tuesday, Shraddha Kapoor took to Instagram to share her heartfelt admiration for Saiyaara. In a video clip she posted, Shraddha can be seen clapping and cheering during a particularly emotional scene between the lead characters. Her caption read: "Saiyaara se Aashiqui ho gayi hai mujhe" (I’ve fallen in love with Saiyaara).
She also shared a poignant still from the film — Ahaan’s character kneeling on stage, gazing at Aneet’s photograph — adding the caption: “Pure cinema, pure drama, pure magic. Uff… felt so emotional after such a long time… I’ll watch it five times just for this moment.”
This emotional endorsement from a star known for one of Bollywood’s most iconic love stories instantly drew comparisons between Saiyaara and Aashiqui 2 — both helmed by Mohit Suri and built on intense emotional storytelling.
The Aashiqui 2 Connection: A Legacy of Love Rekindled
For Shraddha Kapoor, Aashiqui 2 wasn’t just a film — it was her breakthrough role. The tragic love story between Aarohi and Rahul, played by Shraddha and Aditya Roy Kapur, became a benchmark in romantic cinema. The film's emotional depth, unforgettable soundtrack, and heartbreaking climax struck a chord with millions.
Now, over a decade later, Saiyaara appears to be channeling that same spirit — and who better to validate that comparison than the star of Aashiqui 2 herself?
With Mohit Suri once again at the helm, Saiyaara captures a similar essence: a love that is passionate, artistic, and inevitably tested by fate.
Plot Overview: Love, Loss, and Music in Saiyaara
Ahaan Panday plays Krrish Kapoor, a struggling musician searching for purpose and connection in his art. His world changes when he meets Vaani Batra, portrayed by Aneet Padda, an aspiring journalist with dreams of making a mark. What begins as a creative bond soon evolves into a heartfelt romance.
However, life throws obstacles in their path. Misunderstandings, ambition, and tragic twists force them apart, only for destiny to bring them together in the most dramatic fashion. The story beautifully explores themes of inspiration, heartbreak, and the relentless pursuit of love — all wrapped in a lush musical backdrop.
Box Office Triumph: Saiyaara Smashes Records
Beyond the emotional impact, Saiyaara is a commercial juggernaut. It had a spectacular opening, raking in ₹21 crore on Day 1, followed by ₹26 crore on Day 2 and a whopping ₹35.75 crore on Day 3. Within just four days, the film crossed the coveted ₹100 crore mark at the domestic box office.
These figures not only reflect the film's mass appeal but also establish Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as breakout stars in the making. With music, performances, and direction working in harmony, Saiyaara is poised to become one of the biggest hits of the year.
