Who Is Shaan R Grover? The Antagonist In Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara
Shaan R Grover worked as an assistant director on Harshvardhan Rane's tragic love drama Sanam Teri Kasam.
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, is doing exceptionally well at the box office. The romance drama marked the big screen acting debut of not just the leads Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda, but also Shaan R Grover. Shaan plays the antagonist, Mahesh Iyer, and his performance has left a lasting impression on the audience. Following a few OTT projects, he made his feature debut with this film.
As per a report by Pinkvilla, Shaan R Grover attended Modern School in Delhi before continuing his education at Jai Hind College in Mumbai. Before becoming an actor, he worked as an assistant director on Harshvardhan Rane's tragic love drama Sanam Teri Kasam. He also received acting training from renowned casting director Shanoo Sharma. Shaan has worked on various OTT projects, including the Netflix film Nobleman and web series such as Roohaniyat, Leaked and Dus June Ki Raat.
Recently, in an interview with Zoom, Shaan R Grover shared his opinion on nepotism in the industry and the chance he got with Saiyaara to advance his career. He said, 'If it is giving you actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Ahaan Panday, why are people complaining about it? They do get a better start. But look at me, I am doing a YRF film as the baddie, outsiders also get chances. It is my destiny, luck and hard work here. If you are talented, you will get a chance. Saiyaara is about three different people, with different careers and journeys, coming together to make something so beautiful."
Saiyaara has surpassed the Rs 100 crore net mark in the four days of release. The YRF film is produced by Akshaye Widwani and directed by Mohit Suri. Saiyaara takes the audience to an intense realm of love, featuring Ahaan and Aneet Padda's character arcs before concluding with heartbreak. While Ahaan appears to be a popular face pursuing a career as a vocalist, Aneet plays an innocent composer.

Last Updated: Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2 press looks showed range, refinement, and a growing confidence in her personal style Triptii Dimri is having quite the fashion moment. As Dhadak 2 hits theatres today, the actress has been serving back-to-back sartorial wins while promoting the film alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi. From structured tailoring to playful textures, each outfit offered something different and together, they painted a picture of an actress confidently stepping into her leading-lady era. Let's decode three standout looks from her promotional wardrobe: Double Denim, Done Right In one of her most striking appearances, Triptii embraced a head-to-toe denim ensemble with effortless ease. The structured dress featured a cinched bodice and a flared skirt, stitched with white topstitching that brought a graphic, elevated feel to the indigo hue. The collared neckline came embroidered, adding a dash of softness to the look. Styled with small hoop earrings, black sunglasses, and navy-blue embellished heels, this outfit balanced edge and elegance in equal parts. Dramatic Tailoring with a Vintage Twist For a formal event, Triptii turned to Italian label Antonio Marras, opting for a black blazer and checkered co-ord set. The outfit was all about bold silhouettes think puffed sleeves, sharply tailored shoulders, and a cinched waistline that gave her frame definition. A crisp white blouse with a statement bow peeked through, while her dual-tiered plaid skirt added dimension pencil-cut on top, flared at the hem. It was power dressing with a theatrical flair. Ivory 'Corpcore' with a Glamorous Edge At the Dhadak 2 trailer launch, Triptii channelled modern boss energy in an ivory blazer and wide-legged pants. The deep V-neck blazer featured lapel collars, padded shoulders, and clean lines, paired with voluminous pleated trousers that pooled dramatically at the floor. Minimal yet commanding, this look was equal parts high fashion and workwear chic, a nod to the rising 'corpcore' trend, executed with finesse. From ultra-polished tailoring to playful feminine twists, Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2 press looks showed range, refinement, and a growing confidence in her personal style. If this is how she dresses for a film tour, we can't wait to see what she brings to the red carpet next. Which look is your favourite from the promotional trail?
