During an interview with NDTV, Mohit Suri was asked about Alia Bhatt’s reaction to Saiyaara. He said, “Yes, she went to watch it in the theatre.

She took the numbers of both actors and spoke to them." He further added that she also showed her appreciation for the film through a post on social media.
“She also showed the film to Ranbir. Alia has been supporting this film from the beginning because she felt it carries the same emotional depth that I often infuse in my own films. She has been very supportive throughout my career, actually," he added.
