Reflecting on Ahaan's journey—from nervously stepping onto the stage to now being overwhelmed by adoring fans—the director praised his unwavering dedication and remarkable growth in the film industry. On Monday, Mohit took to his Instagram account to share a few snapshots alongside Ahaan. He captioned the post, “From observing you nervously and awkwardly perform on stage, portraying your character 'Krish K,' to now seeing you being celebrated as a star 'Ahaan Panday'! So proud of you @ahaanpandayy. Thank you @eveningclubshillong and Jeff for making this moment happen... as promised, we all came here to celebrate the success of #saiyaara.”

Ahaan Panday has become an instant sensation thanks to his role in Mohit Suri’s romantic drama, “Saiyaara,” which has achieved remarkable success at the box office. This film, inspired by the 2004 Korean classic A Moment to Remember, marks Ahaan's debut in acting.

It became available for streaming on Netflix on September 12.

Discussing the film’s Netflix release, Mohit stated, “Saiyaara will always hold a special place in my heart, and witnessing the global audience embrace it in theaters was truly remarkable. As the film begins its journey on Netflix, I am thrilled that more people will now be able to experience Krish and Vaani’s love story. Love stories are universal, and I hope Saiyaara resonates with hearts everywhere, in every corner of the world.”
