Sharvari embraces stardom with soul
In the cover story, Sharvari opens up about the moment she fell in love with acting. Watching Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's magnetic performance in Dhoom 2, young Sharvari was instantly inspired. 'I saw her and just wanted to dress up and perform,' she recalls. That spark turned into conviction while working behind the scenes on Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, where she realised her true place was in front of the camera.
Describing herself as deeply expressive, Sharvari says she cries, laughs, and feels with intensity. Whether reminiscing about her grandmother's chaat parties or enjoying road trips with friends, she finds joy in the simple, soulful moments of life.
In an industry where images are often curated and guarded, Sharvari stands out for her honesty. 'I want to be known,' she says, 'not just admired from afar.' Her Vogue feature isn't just a style statement—it's a heartfelt introduction to a star who is as real as she is radiant.

Ahaan Panday Trained With Sharvari For 3 Years Before Saiyaara, Reveals Casting Director Shanoo Sharma
Saiyaara casting director Shanoo Sharma reveals Ahaan Panday trained for three years with Sharvari, honing his skills before making his blockbuster debut. Ahaan Panday has become an overnight star as his debut film, Saiyaara, became a blockbuster, and YRF's casting director, Shanoo Sharma, is also enjoying the immense love the film is getting. Giving an amazing performance in his very first film is no easy task, and for that, he had to do intense preparation. Now, in a recent chat, Shanoo Sharma shared how Ahaan worked hard and prepared scenes with Munjya fame Sharvari. 'The first three years went into training. We trained, and we trained, and Sharvari was also on that bandwagon. So we got Sharvari and him to do improvisation and scenes, and scenes, and scenes. So I was training them personally. After that, COVID hit. So when he had his whole waiting period, he joined The Railway Men as an AD," Shanoo shared while talking to The Hollywood Reporter. She further continued and added, 'He saw the world moving ahead; he saw everybody from his generation moving ahead. I don't know, I think it must have irked him within, and you could see that if you knew him well enough, but I don't think it ever broke his spirit. The one thing Ahaan has is spirit. He has a spirit on another level. So I don't think it broke that." About Saiyaara Box Office Despite new film releases such as Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 and Triptii Dimri–Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2, Saiyaara is holding strong at the box office, with steady collections and positive word of mouth. The film has maintained a remarkable run at the box office, collecting over ₹300 crore in India within three weeks. Saiyaara success bash The success of Saiyaara is quite evident, and recently the leads of the film, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, had an absolute blast during the success bash of Saiyaara! Photos of the duo posing with team members and a few fans have now surfaced on social media. For the bash, both opted for chic casual looks — Ahaan sported a white tee layered with a grey jacket and blue denim jeans, while Aneet stunned in a light yellow sleeveless top paired with jeans. Though no photos of the lead actors together have emerged, individual shots capture them happily posing with others at the celebration. In one video, a team member poses with Ahaan as the remix version of the Saiyaara title track plays in the background. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
