Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, who made their big screen debut with Saiyaara, have acheived the kind of stardom that has eluded newcomers since Hrithik Roshan's debut back in 2000. Now that the film has made over Rs 500 crore globally, Ahaan and Aneet have shared a note thanking their fans on social media. The two actors shared a bunch of photos from the film as they wrote long notes expressing their love for their newfound fame.
Ahaan dedicated his success to his late grandmother Snehlata Panday. 'Mujhe pata tha.. sitaaron mein sitara, ek tanha tara-dadi meri.. wahan se dekh kar mujhe.. muskuraengi – ye sirf aapke liye hai dadi (I knew… among the stars, one lone star – my grandmother, she will smile at me. This is for you),' read a part of his note. He also wrote for his fans as he shared, 'I don't know what lies ahead for me, but I know that in this moment I feel the love in my bones, I feel it for every single one of you, and I'll feel it forever and ever and ever. I promise to work twice as hard, be twice as good, and to do this for you all, but also do it for the child in me, the child who had two left feet. The child who got jitters before going on stage, the child who was always told he couldn't do it, we all have that child in us. I hope you all keep making that child happy because that child in you deserves it all, thank you for this miracle, I wish I could hug every single one of you; Tere bina to kuch naa rahenge).'

Aneet Padda also shared a note on her social media and thanked her fans. 'The daze is wearing off and all I want to say is that I love you. I don't know you. But I know that I love you. All this love you've been so generous to give me, it's sitting heavy in my chest, and I don't know what to do except give it back. I'm scared of what's next, scared I won't be enough, but whatever I have, even the smallest piece of me, I'll put it out there. If it makes you laugh, or cry, or remember something you thought you'd forgotten, if it makes you feel a little less alone – then maybe that's what I'm here for. And I'll keep trying. Imperfect, but with everything I've got. Because I love you,' she wrote.
