Saiyaara ko helmet pehnaaye: Uttar Pradesh Police's viral warning on X states mohabbat mein safety zaroori hai
In possibly the most Gen Z and millennial crossover we didn't know we needed, Uttar Pradesh Police has jumped onto the #SaiyaaraFever and used it to serve some helmet-waale life gyaan! Their latest post on X (formerly Twitter) features a helmet-friendly spin on Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's now-iconic scene from Mohit Suri's emo-romantic blockbuster that's been making Gen Z cry into their popcorn.
What happened
UP Police took a scene where the characters of Ahaan and Aneet — Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra — are holding helmets, turning it into a full-blown road safety advisory. Think red helmet in Aneet's hand, white one magically placed on Ahaan's bike — all digitally edited in, of course. They even captioned it with their now-famous line: 'Helmet peheniye, Saiyaara ko bhi pehnaiye, warna romance se pehle hi roadmap badal sakta hai. Mohabbat mein safety zaroori hai.'
Yes, they said it. Safety. Zaroori. In. Love. And Delhiites (and the rest of the Internet) are loving it!
UP Police rocks, Saiyaaras shocked, say X users
Social media users took it on the chin, with major applause for the police's creative department. 'We should appreciate UP Police's creativity,' wrote one user, as another posted: 'Got to give credit to UP Police. They dug up something from nowhere.'
One user even took a jibe, 'Helmet for both the heads, safety and protection both are very important.' Touché. And another jokingly asked, 'Agar Saiyaara na ho toh bhi helmet zaroori hai?' *user cries in single*
Meanwhile in theatres…
While UP Police was editing helmets, fans have taken it to a whole other level of emotional commitment. The film, which many are comparing to Aashiqui 2 (2013) and Rockstar (2011), has become a full-blown capsule complete with heartbreak, longing, and redemption arcs that have even the most jaded Delhi boys becoming love paglus.
Such is the craze that the OG Aashiqui 2 girl, Shraddha Kapoor, went: 'Saiyaara se Aashiqui ho gayi hai mujhe!' Uff, we say!

And right from Uttar Pradesh's Sardhana, we got this IV drip-fuelled gem:
Need we say more?
The storm so far
Saiyaara surpassed Aashiqui 2's lifetime collection in just four days! And by day 7, it has crossed the ₹150 crore mark. With its massive appeal to all the aashiq types among Gen Z, Millennials, and even Gen X, this film has given us viral tears, viral memes, and now... viral helmets!
But as UP Police said, take it as a cautionary tale. Because what's romance without a little road sense?

Kaantha trailer: Dulquer Salmaan, Samuthirakani head a tale of bruised egos between father-son. Watch
Kaantha trailer: The trailer for Selvaraj Selvamani's Dulquer Salmaan and Samuthirakani-starrer Kaantha was released on Monday. Dulquer, who celebrates his birthday today, July 28, and Samuthirakani play son and father in what looks like a retro tale of bruised egos. Kaantha trailer: The Tamil-Telugu bi-lingual is produced by Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan. Kaantha trailer The trailer for Kaantha begins with a studio announcing a horror film called Saantha, the first horror film being made in Tamil/Telugu. Set in 1950s Madras, Samuthirakani is shown as the director of the film, fondly called Ayya by everyone, who doesn't seem happy about the film's cast. Leading the film is his son, a superstar who was trained all his life by his father to be in films, and yet, something has gone wrong between them. Even as Dulquer tells a co-star that no one respects Ayya more than him, the feelings don't seem reciprocated. Ayya is quick to choke his son and throw chairs at him. But after he decides to make the female actor, played by Bhagyashri Borse, both the 'hero and heroine', Dulquer seems at wits' end, deciding to hit back. He even tells the studio that the film will now be called Kaantha, not Saantha. The trailer ends by hinting at a war of ego between father and son. The internet thought the trailer of Kaantha was 'superb' if reactions on X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube are anything to go by. 'Big fan of your gemini ganeshan role in Mahanati. Now this one also giving same vibes. Can't wait to experience this on screen,' commented one fan. 'more than expected. seems another banger loading,' wrote another. One person thought Kaantha was a 'sureshot hit' while a few others praised Dulquer for his script selection. About Kaantha Kaantha is written and directed by Selvaraj Selvamani and stars Dulquer, Samuthirakani and Bhagyashri as the leads. Jhanu Chanthar composed the music for the film, which will be released in theatres on 12 September. Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, Prashanth Potluri and Jom Varghese produce the film under Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films.
