Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the stars of Saiyaara, were overnight sensations following the film's July release. Aneet, who has previously appeared in 'Salaam Venky' and 'Big Girls Don't Cry', recently discussed her acting career, admitting that she had always wanted to perform. She stated that she would lock the door to her room and secretly record auditions while informing her parents that she was studying. She added that she realised she'd have to do it on her own because her parents couldn't afford to send her to Mumbai to audition for roles.
