Saiyaara's Aneet Padda REVEALS what actually went behind shooting 'Tum Ho Toh': 'Ahaan picked me up &..'

Aneet Padda has become one of the most exciting new talents in Bollywood after the massive success of Yash Raj Films romantic hit Saiyara. The film turned into a fan favorite soon after its release, with audiences praising its emotional storytelling, soulful music, and the chemistry between the lead pair. For Aneet, Saiyara was not just her big break but also a life changing experience that gave her memories she will cherish forever.

Talking about the journey of filming the movie, Aneet shares that some of her most unforgettable moments came from shooting in Manali. The location left a deep impression on her, especially because it gave her a first time experience she will never forget. “I saw snow for the first time in Manali and I was very excited,” she says. The actor recalls being completely amazed by the beauty around her and admits that the excitement made the long shoot days feel lighter and more enjoyable.

While Manali brought magical moments, the shoot was not without its challenges. One of the toughest schedules was during the filming of the song Tum Ho Toh, which required Aneet and her co star Ahaan Panday to perform under extreme heat. Describing the situation, she says, “The sand was so hot that our feet were burning, and even though the crew kept pouring cold water, it would disappear within seconds.” Walking barefoot on the beach became painful, but the team pushed through to capture the perfect visuals.

The difficulty increased during a scene that involved a drone shot. Aneet had to run across the beach while the camera followed her from above. In the middle of the take, she stumbled and fell on the scorching sand. Recalling the moment, she shares, “I tripped and fell, and the heat was intense. Ahaan picked me up and we continued.” Despite the discomfort and exhaustion, the actors stayed focused and completed the shot.

Looking back, Aneet laughs about the incident and adds humor to the memory. “I joke that even though the shot looks like we are happily running, we were actually running for our lives,” she says. These moments, both joyful and challenging, define her experience on Saiyara.

I tripped and fell, and the heat was intense. Ahaan picked me up and we continued.
