Shraddha Kapoor on Saiyaara: ‘This Could Be Ahaan’s Aashiqui 2 Moment’

Shraddha Kapoor Backs Saiyaara: “What Aashiqui 2 Did for Me, This Could Do for Ahaan and Aneet.”

Yash Raj Films’ upcoming romantic drama Saiyaara dropped its trailer today—and it’s already receiving major love from Bollywood heavyweights. Among the first to react were Aashiqui 2 stars Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, both of whom took to social media to applaud the film’s emotional appeal, its music, and the debut performances of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.

Shraddha, who shot to stardom with Mohit Suri’s 2013 romantic hit Aashiqui 2, reposted the trailer to her Instagram story with a heartfelt message:

“Mohit Magic Suri has done it again. What. A. Trailer. What Aashiqui 2 did for me, it seems this will be for Aneet Padda & Ahaan Panday. #Saiyaara.”

Her words have struck a chord with fans and critics alike, instantly raising expectations from the film and its lead pair, who are both making their feature film debuts.

Aditya Roy Kapur also shared the trailer, writing simply:
“Let’s go Mohit!”
His endorsement adds even more credibility to the project, given his own breakthrough with the same director.

A Launchpad for the Next Gen?
Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara is being positioned as a major romantic launch vehicle for Ahaan Panday, who has been groomed under YRF’s talent wing for several years. He stars opposite Big Girls Don’t Cry breakout Aneet Padda, marking a fresh pairing that’s already drawing comparisons to Shraddha-Aditya’s chemistry in Aashiqui 2.

The trailer, rich in emotional depth and music-driven storytelling, showcases Mohit Suri’s signature intensity—evoking strong reactions from viewers and setting social media abuzz.
