Aneet Padda, the breakout star of Yash Raj Films' romantic hit "Saiyaara," recently shared a memorable anecdote from the film's challenging yet rewarding shoot. The movie, which also stars Ahaan Panday, has been a massive success, lauded for its emotional narrative, captivating music, and the palpable chemistry between the lead actors.

Padda revealed that some of her most cherished memories from filming "Saiyaara" stem from their time in Manali. She fondly recalls her first experience seeing snow, which left her in awe of the location's beauty and made the long shooting days feel more enjoyable.

However, the shoot was not without its difficulties. One of the most demanding sequences was the filming of the song "Tum Ho Toh," which required Padda and Panday to perform under intense heat. "The sand was so hot that our feet were burning, and even though the crew kept pouring cold water, it would disappear within seconds," Padda explained. Walking barefoot on the beach proved painful, but the team persevered to capture the perfect visuals.

Adding to the challenge was a scene involving a drone shot, where Padda had to run across the beach while the camera followed her from above. It was during one of these takes that an unexpected incident occurred. "I tripped and fell, and the heat was intense," Padda recounted. "Ahaan picked me up, and we continued". Despite the discomfort and exhaustion, the actors remained focused and completed the shot.

Reflecting on the incident, Padda now finds humor in the memory. "I joke that even though the shot looks like we are happily running, we were actually running for our lives," she said. These moments, both joyful and challenging, have come to define her experience on "Saiyaara".

"Saiyaara" has not only become a fan favorite but also a life-changing experience for Aneet Padda, providing her with memories she will always treasure. The film's success, which earned ₹500cr worldwide (₹300cr in India), is deeply connected to the effort, teamwork, and unforgettable moments created on set. As she advances in her career, "Saiyaara" will remain a special chapter that marked her arrival and shaped her as an actor.
