Saiyaara Actress Aneet Padda Steps Out In Mask, Avoids Paps In Rare Public Outing
Saiyaara actress Aneet Padda was spotted outside a Bandra salon amid her film's massive success. The star kept it low-key in casuals.
Aneet Padda, the breakout star of Saiyaara, seems to be taking a quiet moment amid the storm of her film's roaring success. On Wednesday night, the actress was spotted outside a popular salon in Bandra, Mumbai. Dressed in a casual yet chic ensemble, Aneet opted for a dusty blue shirt paired with high-waisted denim jeans. Her wavy, voluminous hair was left open, and she kept a white mask on, possibly to maintain a low profile amidst heavy paparazzi presence.
In the pictures, Aneet appears visibly surprised by the swarm of shutterbugs waiting for her outside the venue. Holding her phone in one hand and gently navigating her way through the crowd, the debutante looked both graceful and slightly taken aback. Despite the brief encounter, Aneet's understated style and natural beauty stole the show.

What's notable is that Aneet and her co-star Ahaan Panday haven't done any press events or interviews for Saiyaara. Yet, the film continues to break records at the box office. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara released on July 18 and opened with a whopping Rs 25 crore, marking the highest debut for newcomers in recent years. On Day 4 (Monday), the film earned Rs 22.50 crore, taking its India total to Rs 106 crore, as per Sacnilk.com.
Backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara has even outperformed recent romantic hits like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, and Kabir Singh in terms of opening day numbers. For director Mohit Suri, this is his biggest opener yet, surpassing his previous blockbusters like Ek Villain, Aashiqui 2, and Murder 2.
With just 8,000 screens across India, Saiyaara has defied expectations, pulling in not just domestic audiences but also making waves globally. The romantic drama grossed $11.9 million over its opening weekend worldwide, placing it among the top 10 films on the global box office chart, according to Comscore.

Anupam Kher reflects on Tanvi The Great's struggles at book launch: ‘What I achieved, no one could in a thousand years'
Anupam Kher , who recently returned to directing after 23 years with Tanvi The Great, is making a comeback, this time as an author. Different But No Less, Anupam's fourth book, launched in Mumbai on Wednesday. The book follows the creation of Tanvi the Great, a movie that was almost never made. From early rejections to casting stories, the book records the project's challenges and illuminates the motivation behind Anupam's decision to base his comeback on the tale of an autistic girl. Anupam stated, "I wrote this film because I needed strength more than money to write it and then make it. That's how this book came out, and it's the strongest thing I have done in my life.' A star-studded assembly of friends, coworkers, and collaborators attended the launch event. Filmmaker and longtime mentor Mahesh Bhatt , actor Boman Irani , who also served as the event's host, Gajraj Rao, Anang Desai, and director Pankuj Parashar, with whom Anupam collaborated on Chaalbaaz, were among those in presence. Mahesh Bhatt gave an emotional analysis of Anupam's journey. 'One of the greatest strengths of this kid—I call him a kid because when I met him he was 28, although I was only 34, but still—is his vulnerability,' Bhatt remarked. 'I don't know any other attribute apart from vulnerability when it comes to him. And a person who cannot be vulnerable cannot be courageous. I'm proud that a journey we began all those years back has landed us in this moment. I can wholeheartedly claim, proudly, that I have contributed somewhere in his journey, and I think his flight has just begun.' The movie, however, encountered challenges at the box office and clashed with Saiyaara, a musical directed by Mohit Suri . While discussing the movie's performance, Boman questioned Anupam about his thoughts on the disappointing box office arrival. 'To everyone present here, if I had to ask you what your top three films of all time are, I'm sure nobody would even remember the box office business they did when they released," he said unquestionably, as he always does. "What I have achieved with this film, no other person could achieve in a hundred thousand years. ' With typical wit, Boman joked that none of the actors, including himself, received compensation for their work on Tanvi the Great because they were only carrying out Anupam's vision, which was in turn carrying out his heart.

Junaid Khan chooses Sitaare Zameen Par over Rs 100 crore film, Aamir Khan jokes he is a 'nepo kid'
Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan team up for a funny promo. It is for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Junaid jokes about rejecting a big film offer. He chose to premiere his father's movie on YouTube. Aamir recreates scenes from 'Andaz Apna Apna'. He also makes fun of his past films. The promo includes a cameo by Azad Rao Khan. What happens when a superstar dad meets his cheeky, aspiring actor son in a parody promo? A lot of laughs, a little trolling, and some nostalgic nods. Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan come together in a fun new promo for Sitaare Zameen Par, where Junaid reveals he rejected a ₹100 crore film to premiere his father's movie on YouTube—for just Rs 1100. Aamir will be seen recreating scenes from his 1994 classic Andaz Apna Apna as a tribute. The promo will also feature filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi watching RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par online. In one scene, Aamir Khan adds a twist to an iconic Andaz Apna Apna dialogue originally delivered by Deven Verma. The actor also pokes fun at himself, referencing past flops like Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha. Mock regret and ' nepo kid ' jibe In the promo, Aamir humorously reflects on past choices, saying he once followed his son's advice to do a multi-starrer and ended up doing Thugs of Hindostan, which brought him endless criticism. He adds that remaking Forrest Gump as Laal Singh Chaddha cost him both respect and money. Junaid is set to unveil his quirky plan to bring Sitaare Zameen Par to audiences at home. In the promo, the Loveyapa actor proudly tells his father, 'Aapko sun kar khushi hogi pitaji, maine Rs 100 crore ka offer reject kar diya hai. Aur aapki film Sitaare Zameen Par ko YouTube par daal diya hai sirf Rs 100 mein.' Aamir, taken aback, reacts in mock disbelief and jokingly calls his son a 'nepo kid.' The parody promo will wrap up with a surprise cameo by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao's son, Azad Rao Khan, making a brief appearance at the end of the video.
