Let’s be real — Bollywood launches have become a bit too predictable, haven’t they? Glossy magazine covers, talk shows, red carpet looks, thousands of Insta posts — it’s almost like the film becomes an afterthought. But then came Saiyaara. And suddenly, the most viral moment wasn’t from a PR event — it was a shy girl (Aneet Padda) at the airport saying, “Mujhe sharam aa rahi hai.”
And in that moment, everything felt different.
Meet Aneet Padda
Newcomer Aneet Padda, who stars opposite Ahaan Panday (yes, Chunky Panday’s nephew and Ananya’s cousin), didn’t need a PR team to make people fall in love with her. She just needed one quiet moment of honesty.
In the now-viral clip, Aneet is spotted at the airport. The paparazzi ask her to remove her cap for a clearer shot. She smiles nervously, holds onto her cap, and softly says, “Mujhe sharam aa rahi hai.”
No drama. No tantrums. Just pure, simple shyness. And just like that, the internet collectively went “awww.”
Saiyaara Breathe Without The Buzz
Turns out, that moment wasn’t accidental — it was exactly what Saiyaara director Mohit Suri had hoped for.
In a recent interview, he opened up about his decision not to push Aneet or Ahaan into the media spotlight before the film’s release.
“I told Aneet — don’t try to be someone else. If you’re shy, say it. That’s real. That’s beautiful,” he said. “We’ve become a generation that always feels pressured to have the right answers. But there’s nothing wrong with being vulnerable.”
Instead of chasing headlines, Mohit — along with Yash Raj Films (YRF) — focused on the story, the music, and letting the audience discover the characters naturally.
And guess what? It worked.
No fancy interviews. No social media campaigns. Just a well-cut trailer, a couple of soul-touching songs, and two fresh faces — one of whom wasn’t afraid to say she was shy in front of flashing cameras.
And the result? People loved Saiyaara.
Videos from theatres went viral — fans were hooting, clapping, crying, and even watching it while hooked to an IV drip (no, seriously). The emotional connection was real.
Because in a world full of filters and facades, Saiyaara gave us something we’re all secretly craving — authenticity.
Aneet Padda’s Moment

Usually, when a celeb video goes viral, it’s for the wrong reasons — a fight, a wardrobe malfunction, or something OTT. But Aneet’s moment stood out for the exact opposite reason.
She wasn’t trying to go viral. She wasn’t trying to trend. She was just… being herself.
That one line — “Mujhe sharam aa rahi hai” — reminded us that vulnerability isn’t weakness. It’s a strength. And maybe that’s why we can’t stop thinking about it.
Ahaan Panday And Aneet Padda
Let’s give credit where it’s due — Ahaan Panday also played his role beautifully. The chemistry between him and Aneet in Saiyaara feels raw, heartfelt, and surprisingly grounded for two newcomers.
By keeping them away from the spotlight before the film, Mohit gave them room to grow as artists, not influencers.

“They’re actors,” he said, “not models. I didn’t want people to judge them based on their airport looks or clothes. Let them act first.”
And what a refreshing change that was.
Why Saiyaara Feels Like A Hug
It’s crazy how, in a film industry built on noise, a film like Saiyaara — and a moment like Aneet’s — can make you pause and smile.
Maybe because it felt like a mirror. Maybe because we’ve all had those moments of nervousness. Maybe because someone finally said, out loud, what we often feel inside: “I’m shy, and that’s okay.”
