Ahaan's sister Alanna has now finally shared a video, giving a sneak-peek into the star-studded evening. Ananya Panday was seen tearing up after watching her cousin's debut film, while Bhavana Pandey and Chunky Panday also showered love on Ahaan. The video shared by Alanna Panday shows celebrities exiting the theatre after watching Saiyaara. Ananya Panday was seen wiping her tears, much to Alanna's surprise. 'I never cry," said Ananya, while Alanna agreed saying that she hasn't seen the actress every cry. The 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan' actress then told Alanna, 'At your wedding, I tried to poke my eye to cry." The latter replied, 'Even if she gives birth to her own child, she won't cry. But she cried for this (Saiyaara)." Meanwhile, Bhavana Panday gushed over Ahaan's debut film, and said, 'My one word is 'Ahaan'. I love you, Krish." Chunky Panday said, 'I am too excited!" Alanna Panday was also seen getting emotional and tearing up during the premiere of Saiyaara. Check out the video below! Earlier, Ananya Panday shared her review of Saiyaara, and wrote, 'No one does heartbreak and love like you @mohitsuri cried and smiled and then cried some more. My brother you are MAGIC.

Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, starring debut actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, showed solid momentum on its second day in theatres. After opening with an estimated Rs 21 crore net in India on Friday, the film saw a jump in collections on Saturday, bringing in around Rs 24 crore (as per early estimates on industry tracker Sacnilk). With this, the film's total two-day collection now stands att Rs 45 crore net in India. Backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara is making waves not just for its impressive box office numbers but also for its unexpected promotional playbook. What makes Saiyaara's strong opening even more surprising is that neither Ahaan nor Aneet had any major visibility before the release. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara follows the love story of Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a dreamer who wants to become a singing sensation, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), an aspiring journalist.
