About Saiyaara

Saiyaara tells the story of Krish Kapur (Ahaan), an egotistical, short-tempered musician in search of a big break. He meets Vaani (Aneet), a shy, aspiring journalist recovering from heartbreak. Krish chances upon her diary filled with poetry and turns them into songs, which become hits. Love follows, but fate threatens to tear them apart. Will they reunite or not forms the rest of the tale.
