Aneet Padda Is Overwhelmed By Alia Bhatt's Praise For Saiyaara, Calls Her 'Hero'
Last Updated: The young actress took to Instagram to share her emotional reaction to Alia's words, calling her 'forever hero'. Aneet Padda is winning hearts with her role in Saiyaara. She was left speechless after receiving praise from none other than superstar Alia Bhatt. The young actress took to Instagram to share her emotional reaction to Alia's words, calling her 'forever hero". Taking to her Instagram stories, Aneet Padda shared Alia Bhatt's post and wrote, 'I wish I could gather every moment of inspiration, love, awe, possibility, wonder and imagination that I've experienced because of you; put it in a box and give it to you. Alia Bhatt, my hero. Forever and ever and ever." The Love And War actress had written a long post and praised the debutants. Taking to his Instagram stories, Arjun shared a post reading 'What a film'. In the background we can hear the music of Saiyaara. On Saturday, July 19, Saiyaara, recorded an overall 44.74% Hindi occupancy, indicating growing audience interest. The day began with 28.14% occupancy during morning shows, which increased significantly by the afternoon to 50.67%, and further rose in the evening with 55.40% occupancy. Backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara is making waves not just for its impressive box office numbers but also for its unexpected promotional playbook. What makes Saiyaara's strong opening even more surprising is that neither Ahaan nor Aneet had any major visibility before the release. For director Mohit Suri, this could be the comeback he's been waiting for since Ek Villain, which was made on a Rs 39 crore budget and grossed Rs 155 crore worldwide. Earlier, filmmaker Mahesh had said, 'Every generation has love story that defines it. Saiyaara, to me, will be the most definitive romantic film of this generation. When I made Aashiqui, I did it with a lot of purity and I was fortunate that people connected to it deeply and made the two newcomers into overnight stars. I expect Mohit Suri to do the same with Saiyaara." With strong weekend momentum and positive word of mouth, Saiyaara is looking at a strong Sunday and a solid opening weekend total. On the work front, Alia Bhatt is currently busy with the shooting of Alpha and Love And War. First Published: July 20, 2025, 10:53 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ranbir Kapoor Avoids Paparazzi, Gets Caught After Playing Pickleball
Just a couple of days back, Ranbir Kapoor was also spotted by the paparazzi as he arrived at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Mumbai. Looks like pickleball is Ranbir Kapoor's new favourite sport. On Saturday morning, the actor was spotted by the paparazzi in Mumbai as he reportedly stepped out after playing pickleball with his friends. He looked sporty in a white jacket and a blue scarf tied around his forehead. However, Ranbir seemingly avoided interaction with the paparazzi as he headed straight to his car. Just a couple of days back, Ranbir was also spotted by the paparazzi as he arrived at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Mumbai. He was also accompanied by his wife, actress Alia Bhatt. In the photos that surfaced on social media, the real-life couple was seen entering the Bhansali office. While Ranbir went straight inside the office, Alia paused and posed for the paparazzi. It should be noted that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will soon be seen in Bhansali's Love And War, which will also star Vicky Kaushal in the lead. Earlier this year, Ranbir talked about the project during a meet and greet event in Mumbai when he said, 'Love and War is something which is every actor's dream. To work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky and to be directed by the master – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven't met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Just to be on his set, it is tiring. It is long. The process can be a little daunting but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying. He really nurtures art. As actors, it's truly been amazing so far." Love and War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026. First Published: July 19, 2025, 12:20 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
