Anupam Kher recalls meeting Ahaan after Saiyaara
Anupam recounted in a chat with us, “The other day I was in Taj and I met Ahaan Pandey. I was getting into the men's loo and he was coming out of it. He was very happy and I was very happy to see him. And I said, lets take a picture together and I posted it also.”
Kher recalled that several fans had suggested he should meet the heroine of Ahaan’s film (Aneet Padda). “Bahut saare logon ne kaha aapne heroine ke baare mein nahi kaha. Main unko milunga to main unke baare mein bhi likh doonga."
"I would like to see it (Saiyaara). It is on, I think Netflix. I would I would love to see it," he added, describing the enthusiasm surrounding the film.
Anupam's advice to Ahaan
Anupam also shared Ahaan’s response and the advice he offered him. "His reply was also very good, because main usko kaha ki go slow. That's it, go slow because you have, in your first film, achieved so much of success. Ki iske muqable mein time lagega ab aane ka (it will take some time compared to this). But don't think if agli film ne 80 crore banaye, to ye mat sochna ki yeh nakamyabi hui hai (if the next film earns 80 crore, don’t think this is a failure)."
