Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda made ground-breaking acting debuts in Mohit Suri's superhit movie Saiyaara. The YRF-backed rom-com not only achieved enormous commercial success, but also won the hearts of the public. The film is presently the highest-grossing picture directed by debutants. In a recent interview, the overnight stars discussed their record-breaking film, their friendship with each other, and future ambitions.

Ahaan claimed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India that, despite the fact that he has been waiting for his acting debut for numerous years, he has no "resentment" toward anyone."Have I felt wronged by people? Yes, I have. It wouldn’t be right for me to get personal about that, though, but as an actor that’s where you take [inspiration] from. I would take a small moment and enlarge that for the character. I just kept putting myself into different things. There was that blind optimism, the first four-five years, where I was entirely delusional, and I think people around me could sense it," he said.

Ahaan gets candid about his struggles

Ahaan recalled his difficult phase when his dear one had passed away, "I would have to tell myself to [keep the faith] because things weren’t going the way I wanted them to. Something happened in my personal life that left me shattered. A person very important to me [passed away], and she was my backbone; the only person that would call me a hero every day in my home and always meant it. And I think once she [passed away] that confidence started to shatter; the only way to deal with that was to just keep working, and that’s what I did."
