View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ameet Padda Fanpage💙 (@aneetpadda15) Aneet Padda's Exciting Project According to Peeping Moon, Aneet Padda is set to star in the web series Nyaya, a compelling courtroom drama based on real-life events. Interestingly, Aneet had already wrapped up filming for Nyaya before Saiyaara, despite having signed an exclusive three-film contract with Yash Raj Films. 'Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara, and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward. A girl who is delivering probably a 400 crore hit in theatres is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, and will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation, and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity," informed a trade source. Nyaya, directed by Nitya Mehra and produced alongside her husband Karan Kapadia, promises to spark conversations around faith, law, and justice. The series boasts an impressive cast, including Fatima Sana Shaikh as a determined police officer and Arjun Mathur in pivotal roles, with Aneet playing a 17-year-old girl fighting for justice after being sexually assaulted by a powerful spiritual leader. Meanwhile, Aneet Padda's acting journey took off with a small but impactful role in the 2022 film Salaam Venky, where she shared the screen with Kajol. Her breakthrough moment arrived with the Amazon Prime Video series Big Girls Don't Cry, where she landed her first lead role as Roohi Ahuja, showcasing her talent and versatility as an actress.

Saiyaara hits global top 50 on Spotify - Krish dreamt it, the world played it
One particular sequence makes 'Saiyaara' look like it crossed over from fiction to reality. It is making theatres come alive with roars and cheers for Krish Kapoor (played by Ahaan Panday) as he yearns for the love of his life, Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda). The girl is losing her memory due to Alzheimer's disease, and he does everything in his power to comfort her and simply, just be with her like the strongest pillar of after Vaani leaves Krish (another twist that you need to watch the film to know), he stumbles into her diary featuring the lyrics of the song 'Saiyaara'. Something changes in him. A hopeless Krish suddenly finds a silver lining in Vaani's writing. Only this time is it for her sake. He immediately rushes to his friends, the very band that he abandoned earlier. A hopeful Krish tells his friends, "I will make this song so big that it will reach every nook and corner of the country." His motive? To make the song reach Vaani so that she would eventually remember him via the song, and come back to him. And guess what! The song has become big - exactly how Krish imagined it in 'Saiyaara' for his is where the lines between reality and cinema blurred. The song 'Saiyaara', composed by Tanishk Bagchi, has made its way to the number one spot on Spotify's list of the Top 50 (India) and the number four spot in the Top 50 (Global). As Krish enters the stadium filled with fans to perform the song, the cinema halls, too, turn into a live concert. In the videos going viral on social media, the audience in theatres can be seen taking out their cameras to record the song and humming the lyrics, penned by Irshad Kamil: "Saiyaara tu toh badla nahi hai, Mausam zara sa rootha hua hai (Your love remains unchanged, my dear. The world around us has become distant)." As the song, sung and co-composed by Kashmiri musicians Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, grows in popularity, it also symbolises the very essence of Krish's character, his love and his passion. It is almost as if Panday and the entire team of 'Saiyaara' manifested the song to become a blockbuster - via Krish Kapoor and his love for across the country seem to be coming alive with 'Saiyaara'. Despite its OTT release window post the theatrical release, fans have thronged the cinema halls to have a collective experience. This is no ordinary feat for a film starring debutants. The song, the magic of the big screen, the warm welcome extended to the fresh faces - it's all surreal for both the industry and the audience.- Ends
