Ahaan Panday shares emotional note for Mohit Suri after Saiyaara success

Ahaan Panday is riding on the success of his recently released film Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri.

Saiyaara, which also stars Aneet Padda, helped both Ahaan and Aneet to a new level of success, making them an overnight sensation.

Ahaan recently celebrated the success of the film by returning to the place where his character, Krish Kapoor, was born.

Ahaan took to his Instagram Story and re-shared Mohit Suri’s emotional post about Ahaan. Alongside the post, the actor wrote, “Shillong (TEC) 2024 flying out to Shillong, in the hope to find a bridge between Krish & I, in the hope to meet musicians, @jeff_zolal the owner of TEC was kind enough to put up a board of Josh the band from the film (at this point it was just a script) and the city was kind enough to allow me to learn a thing or two or three.”

The actor continued, “I remember standing in each and every crowd during each and every performance, three weeks of music and culture and being surrounded by the best musicians I've witnessed, bobbing my head in a crowd of 30 and sometimes in a crowd of 3, this was where krish was born, in the quiet and loud corners of Shillong, Meghalaya.”

The post featured pics from Shillong that were shot in 2024.

Ahaan continued the trip down the memory lane and wrote, “Shillong (TEC) September 2025, Mohit sir promised me that he'd someday visit the same spot with me, he knew how much it meant to me, l'll never forget this night, and I'll always remember how much you believed in the both of us, I'll always hold it close: two kids with a dream and nobody will give you the credit you deserve sir, but you deserve the galaxy and more.”

Ahaan added, “I know how much love you've poured into this film, and into the both of us, how gently you've guided us, we've found family in you, just want to say it one last time, thank you to everyone who was a part of this journey, and thank you to our other half, you couldn't make it, but we missed you all the more, the yaara in our saiyaara.”
