Secret unfolding

Aneet recently revealed that her chemistry with Ahaan, both on and off screen, was unplanned and grew naturally, much like a beautiful friendship. In an interview with Live Mint, she revealed that she had been close to her co-star Saiyaara even before day one of the film started.

She said, “When I met Ahaan for the first time, I knew that I was going to be very comfortable with this person…There was something very disarming about him.”

Remembering the first day when she met Saiyaara director Mohit Suri and her co-star Ahaan Panday, Aneet mentioned that she was nervous, “I was messing up a bit, I was cracking jokes that weren’t landing, and woh bechara phir bhi has raha tha! (The poor guy was still laughing)"

She added “fantastic presence,” and she knew at that moment that they would share a great bond. “He played the guitar, we sang songs, chatted a lot in the car when he came to drop me home, and that’s when I thought he was a fantastic presence to be around. I really liked him and his energy.”
