Mohit Suri calls Aneet Padda his star, expresses love and admiration for her

Filmmaker Mohit Suri took to social media to pen a heartfelt birthday note for his “star” Aneet Padda. He shared a heartfelt message expressing his love, admiration, and appreciation for her. In his post, he fondly referred to her as his “star,” highlighting the special bond they share.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Mohit shared a playful image featuring them and captioned it as, “Happy birthday my star @aneetpadda! Thank you for lighting up the way for all of us ... love you forever and ever and ever #happybirthdayaneetpadda #allaboutlastnight.”

In the photo, Mohit is seen planting a sweet kiss on Aneet’s head. The click shows the actress posing with her eyes closed. On Oct.13, Aneet turned 23 and celebrated her birthday with rumoured boyfriend Ahaan Panday in London. The actress attended a Coldplay concert alongside Ahaan, sparking dating rumours. In a viral video from the event, Aneet, dressed in black, cut her birthday cake while Ahaan, also in black, stood beside her and was the first to feed her a piece.

Aneet Padda has become an overnight sensation with her performance in Mohit Suri’s romantic drama, “Saiyaara,” which also stars Ahaan Panday in the lead role. The film, loosely based on the 2004 Korean classic “A Moment to Remember,” follows the journey of Krish Kapoor, a conflicted musician, who discovers an unexpected bond with Vaani Batra, a quiet and introspective poet.

Released in theatres on July 18, the film earned positive reviews, with audiences applauding the heartfelt performances of Ahaan and Aneet. The film streamed on Netflix on Sept.12. Speaking about the film’s arrival on Netflix, Mohit had earlier shared, “Saiyaara will always be a very special film for me, and the way audiences embraced it in theatres globally was truly incredible. As the film begins its journey on Netflix, I’m excited that more people will now get to discover Krish and Vaani’s love story. Love stories are special because they are universal and I hope Saiyaara touches hearts everywhere, in every corner of the world.”

Meanwhile, filmmaker Milap Zaveri recently opened up about Mohit Suri’s directorial “Saiyaara,” calling it his best work to date. In his latest post on Instagram, Zaveri shared his thoughts on what makes the film stand out in Suri’s impressive filmography.

Sharing a poster of the film, he wrote a heartfelt note saying he wanted to kick himself for missing it in cinemas. The ‘Marjaavaan’ director wrote, “Finally saw the film of the year #Saiyaara and want to kick myself for missing it in cinemas! There is nothing left to say about its brilliance that the entire world hasn’t said already. But I’ll still try! @mohitsuri you have crafted pure Love!.”

“Saiyaara” starred debutant Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles. Released on July 18, the film went on to become the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025 and the top-grossing Indian romantic film of the year.

Backed by Yash Raj Films, the movie draws loose inspiration from the 2004 Korean classic “A Moment to Remember.”
