Shraddha Kapoor shares her love for Saiyaara
On Tuesday, Shraddha took to Instagram and shared a video of herself clapping and hooting during Ahaan and Aneet’s scene in Saiyaara, and wrote, “Saiyaara’s Aashiqui ho gayi hai mujhe (I’ve fallen in love with Saiyaara).” Her caption was a nod to how Saiyaara has been compared with her 2013 blockbuster, Aashiqui 2, also directed by Mohit Suri.
She further shared a still from the movie, which shows Ahaan sitting on his knees on the stage looking at Aneet’s photo, and wrote, “pure cinema, pure drama, pure magic. Uff…bohot time baad itna emotion feel kiya hai…Iss moment ke liye 5 baar dekhungi (Uff... felt so emotional after such a long time... I’ll watch it five times just for this moment)."
Aashiqui 2 was Shraddha's breakthrough in the film industry. The film, which also featured Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead role, left fans heartbroken with its ending. However, Shraddha and Aditya’s chemistry in the film made them one of Bollywood’s most beloved on-screen pairs. The film's music was praised and has remained popular even a decade on. Saiyaara has evoked comparisons with Aashiqui 2 due to the romantic theme, music, and Mohit's direction.
Earlier, Alia Bhatt also shared a heartwarming note on social media appreciating Ahaan and Aneet’s performances in Saiyaara. She further heaped praise on Mohit Suri, the film’s music, and wrote, “Saiyaara is full of heart, full of soul, full of something that just stays with you... in the best way. To the entire team, to @yrf – congratulations on this beautiful creation. This isn't just a film. It’s a moment. And I’m so glad I got to feel it.”
