As Aneet won the award at a recent event, she expressed her gratitude. In her speech, the actor also mentioned her co-star and best friend, Ahaan, and said, “Thank you to my co-actor and my best friend, Ahaan Panday. You guys don’t realise the number of times it’s been really difficult on set, and he has always had my back. So thank you so much. And it’s the best feeling in the world to be sharing the stage with one of the best men in the world.”

The film marked Mohit Suri's return to direction after his last flop, Ek Villain Returns in 2022. Saiyaara tells the story of a struggling musician, Krish, who falls in love with a poet and budding journalist, Vaani Batra. However, things take a wrong turn after a shocking revelation, and how they still manage to stay with each other forms the crux of the film. Starring Ahaan and Aneet in the lead roles, along with Alam Khan, Geeta Agarwal Sharma, Varun Badola, and Shaad Randhawa, among others in key roles, the film emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of 2025, collecting over ₹500 crore worldwide.
