Varun Dhawan likes a post criticising ‘Saiyaara’ actress Aneet Padda, netizens say ‘Most Bollywood families don’t want…’ – Firstpost

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s Saiyaara is creating some insane and unbelievable records at the box office, which is phenomenal considering the musical drama features newcomers.

The Mohit Suri directorial will mostly cross the Rs 300 mark today, which means in just 17 days, which is nothing less than historic. And it has also become the first YRF film that will stream on Netflix.

Not only fans and audiences, Saiyaara garnered praise from celebs like Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Aamir Khan, Mahesh Babu, Arjun Kapoor, Ameesha Patel, Siddharth Anand, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Karan Johar, Anurag Basu and Anil Kapoor, among others, for its storyline, direction and performances.

But there’s a video that has gone viral on social media where Aneet is being criticized for refusing to pose for the paparazzi at the airport due to her shy nature, and the video has been liked by Varun Dhawan after keen observation by netizens.

Why is Varun Dhawan liking a video against #AneetPadda

Reddit caught Varun and screenshot it before he removes Like

Or is it because Varun was considered for #Saiyaara and Adi rejected him for younger actor?

The thing is Varun doesn’t even follow KRK and yet he liked this… pic.twitter.com/PBBhNqjUK2

One wrote- “Interesting 🤔 what I feel mostly bollywood families don’t want this movie to do good but destiny had other plans.”

Another said, “Do you think even if Varun Dhawan was cast as the male lead, it would have become this big?
I don’t think so. This Aahan kid performed so good, it’s almost because of him and girl this film is doing this big.”

Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about Saiyaara’s comparison with Aashiqui 2 in an interview with Firstpost. He said, “When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Malang, they said it looked like Ek Villain. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lame and Rockstar. So I think when I go ahead and make my next film, they’ll say it looks like Saiyaara. I think when they’re comparing it to my own work rather than somebody else’s, it’s good.”
