When Ahaan Panday Actually Broke Down While Shooting A Scene For ‘Saiyaara’

Mumbai: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s ‘Saiyaara’ struck a chord with viewers and several scenes from the film left them teary-eyed.
Several videos from theatres, which went viral, showed audiences crying and breaking down in theatres.
However, what is not known to many is that not just the audience, but the lead actor himself broke down for real while filming a scene.
Director Mohit Suri shared that Ahaan became so emotional during a specific scene that he had to intervene to stop the actor from crying excessively while shooting.
“Mujhe sometimes bolna pada isko ‘Mat ro yaar itna tu yeh scene mein’. He said ‘Mujhko bohot bura lag raha hai, sir I’m feeling very bad she’s saying this’. I said ‘Tu acting nahi kar raha?’ He said ‘Nahi, main acting nahi kar raha hun’. (I had to say to him sometimes, ‘Don’t cry so much in this scene.’ He said, ‘I’m feeling really bad, sir. She’s saying this, and I’m feeling very bad.’ I said, ‘Aren’t you acting?’ He said, ‘No, I’m not acting’),” Mohit said during an interview with Red FM.
“But I just think maybe they’ve not met someone who opened up, in this generation they haven’t met people who opened up their heart and make these promises jo commitment life bhar ki hoti hai, ki no matter what I’m not going to leave you, I’m going to stand by you. I think these were just things that were moving them,” the ‘Saiyaara’ director shared.
