The piano scene in 'Saiyaara' that moved everyone

When asked about the emotionally heavy piano sequence, Ahan said he never felt it was a challenge because of the supportive atmosphere created on set. “There was no pressure. Everyone was in sync with the emotions. We didn’t plan the scene, it just flowed. We were so involved that Mohit sir himself had to hold back tears,” Ahan shared, adding that the calmness on the set allowed him to channel his emotions naturally. The actor credited his team for making it effortless, admitting that the experience was so immersive that no one realized how deeply it was affecting them until later.

Supporting his co-star’s words, Aneet Padda recalled moments when Ahan’s portrayal of Krish Kapoor became so intense that it unsettled people on set. “There was a day when Ahan was so immersed in his role that everyone started getting scared of him. He had become Krish completely,” Aneet said. Watching Ahan’s performance, Aneet Padda admitted he too was overwhelmed and moved to tears. “Mohit sir had to remind him, ‘Beta don’t cry so much.’ That’s when we realised how much our characters had seeped into us.”
