Mohit Suri's wife Uditaa Goswami shares emotional note, calls him star-maker
Filmmaker Mohit Suri is currently enjoying the success of 'Saiyaara', his latest directorial film that has struck gold at the box office. The film introduced newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. While audiences and critics are showering the romantic drama with praise, Suri's wife, actor Uditaa Goswami, wrote a heartfelt note on Instagram, calling her husband a 'star-maker' who 'doesn't need stars to shine.'advertisementSharing a few photos from their family album, Uditaa wrote, 'Mohit Suri, I honestly don't know where to begin - it feels a little strange saying this out loud because we usually keep things private. At home, I rarely express my appreciation; I'm more often the one giving reminders: 'Turn off the lights,' 'Switch off the AC,' 'Hang your wet towel,' 'Give me some attention,' 'Stop watching TV or playing games on your phone' And when I ask for help around the house, you say, 'All I know is how to make movies.' Well, that, you definitely do (sic).' Talking about his journey and dedication, she continued, 'This moment didn't come easy. It's the result of years of patience, hard work, frustration, anxiety, sleepless nights, and the quiet insecurity of waiting for your time - while still holding on to the belief that you were good enough. You wanted our kids to witness the highs you once had, to feel proud of their father. And now, you haven't just reached that point - you've surpassed it. They can see it. We all can (sic).' Uditaa noted that many are quick to claim credit when success comes, but made it clear that Saiyaara's victory belongs solely to Mohit: 'But when it comes to 'Saiyaara', it's all you. I'm not vain enough to believe otherwise. You sacrificed a lot to pursue your vision - turned down so many tempting offers, started fresh, and rebuilt everything from the ground up.'Calling him a visionary, she added, 'You're a star maker - you don't need stars to shine, and you've never compromised on your creative integrity. It should always be your way. And I hope this film shows everyone just how powerful that can be.' She ended her post on a cheeky note: 'That said don't forget: you still have to come home, hang your wet towel, and switch off the AC! (sic)'Uditaa and Mohit began dating during the making of 'Zeher' (2005), and married in 2013. They share two children, daughter Devee (born 2015) and son Karrma (born 2018). Incidentally, Uditaa was launched by Mohit's cousin Pooja Bhatt in 'Paap' (2003) and was later directed by Suri himself in 'Zeher'.'Saiyaara', produced by YRF's CEO Akshaye Widhani, released on July 18 and has already raked in over Rs 132 crore at the Indian box office. The film follows the love story between Krish Kapur (Ahaan Panday), a short-tempered musician, and Vaani (Aneet Padda), a shy aspiring journalist.- Ends

‘You don't need stars to shine': Uditaa Goswami's emotional tribute to Mohit Suri after Saiyaara's success
After Saiyaara's massive box office run, director Mohit Suri's wife, actor Uditaa Goswami, shared a rare and deeply personal note, calling him the true 'star-maker' behind the Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer. The film has become a breakout hit, collecting over Rs150 crore worldwide and launching two newcomers into stardom. In an unusually candid Instagram post, Uditaa offered a glimpse into the man behind the camera—the years of struggle, the quiet sacrifices, and the relentless pursuit of creative integrity that led to Saiyaara's success. 'I honestly don't know where to begin—it feels a little strange saying this out loud because we usually keep things private. At home, I rarely express my appreciation; I'm more often the one giving reminders: 'Turn off the lights," 'Switch off the AC," 'Hang your wet towel," 'Give me some attention," 'Stop watching TV or playing games on your phone…" And when I ask for help around the house, you say, 'All I know is how to make movies." Well, that, you definitely do." Uditaa reflected on Mohit's long journey back to success: 'This moment didn't come easy. It's the result of years of patience, hard work, frustration, anxiety, sleepless nights, and the quiet insecurity of waiting for your time,while still holding on to the belief that you were good enough. You wanted our kids to witness the highs you once had, to feel proud of their father. And now, you haven't just reached that point—you've surpassed it. They can see it. We all can.' She also highlighted the emotional reason driving him: their children. 'You wanted our kids to witness your highs, to be proud of their father. You haven't just reached that point—you've surpassed it. They can see it. We all can.' On the film's success, Uditaa made it clear that credit belongs solely to Mohit. 'I know people love taking credit when something big succeeds, but when it comes to #Saiyaara, it's all you. I'm not vain enough to believe otherwise. You sacrificed a lot to pursue your vision—turned down so many tempting offers, started fresh, and rebuilt everything from the ground up.' Calling him a 'star-maker,' she wrote: 'You're a star maker—you don't need stars to shine, and you've never compromised on your creative integrity. It should always be your way. And I hope this film shows everyone just how powerful that can be.' The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-led romantic drama has emerged as one of the biggest hits of the year, cementing Mohit Suri's return to form—and placing the spotlight firmly on a filmmaker who, as Uditaa puts it, 'only knows how to make movies.'
