Saiyaara star Aneet Padda studied in DU, once worked with a leading airlines as...
Before she was cast opposite Ahaan Panday in Saiyaara , Aneet Padda's life looked very different. The 2002-born actress, now the talk of Bollywood, reportedly worked as an HR intern at Vistara Airlines. Her now-viral LinkedIn profile reveals that she graduated from Jesus and Mary College with a major in Political Science and a minor in English. She even describes herself as a songwriter and singer, hinting at her creative ambitions long before the cameras started rolling. The Saiyaara breakthrough Today, Aneet is being hailed as YRF's newest lucky charm. In Saiyaara , she plays 'Vaani', a shy, introverted writer who falls for the rebellious music sensation 'Krish Kapoor'. The film's emotional highs and heartbreaking twists have left audiences spellbound. The debut, opposite Ahaan Panday, has propelled her into stardom, with Saiyaara expected to touch the Rs 300-crore mark this weekend. Her past credits include a role in Salaam Venky alongside Kajol and a standout performance in Amazon Prime Video's Big Girls Don't Cry , where she also lent her voice to a few songs. It was this versatility that reportedly caught YRF's attention. How much did she earn? While the exact figure remains under wraps, reports suggest Aneet Padda earned between Rs 3-5 crore for Saiyaara — a standard paycheck for fresh YRF leads. Considering the film's estimated Rs 60-crore budget and its runaway success, the investment seems to have paid off handsomely. OTT release plans Though Saiyaara is still enjoying a strong theatrical run, fans are eager for its OTT debut. Initially expected in late September, fresh reports hint that the release might be pushed to Diwali to maximise box office gains. This will also mark Saiyaara as YRF's first film to premiere on Netflix after years of working with the platform on original series. From corporate corridors to red carpets, Aneet Padda's journey is as cinematic as her debut. With a powerful performance, a growing fanbase, and industry buzz, it looks like she's just getting started.
