Saiyaara, the latest offering from Yash Raj Films, has taken the Indian box office by storm, raking in an impressive over ₹160 crore and counting by Thursday.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mohit Suri, the romantic drama features fresh faces—Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda—in lead roles, a risk that has more than paid off. The film’s emotional depth, contemporary storytelling, and youthful charm have resonated widely with audiences, especially among India’s younger viewers.
Amid the wave of critical and commercial success, Mohit Suri’s wife, actress-turned-DJ Udita Goswami, penned a deeply moving appreciation post on social media, offering fans a rare and heartfelt glimpse into their personal lives—and the sacrifices that often go unseen behind the scenes of creative brilliance.
Sharing a collection of candid family photographs featuring Mohit and their children, Udita’s caption struck an emotional chord.
She confessed that while she often plays the role of a no-nonsense partner—reminding Mohit about lights left on and wet towels on the bed—this moment of success called for something different: a public acknowledgment of the passion and determination that had carried Saiyaara from vision to victory.
“At home, I rarely express my appreciation,” she wrote. “But today, I want to acknowledge the filmmaker you are.”
Udita recounted how Saiyaara was not just another film project—it was a passion project Mohit poured his soul into.
She revealed that he had turned down several lucrative film offers that didn’t align with his creative vision. Instead, he chose to start from scratch, rebuild his journey, and create something deeply personal—something their children could one day look at with pride.
“You sacrificed a lot to pursue your vision… started fresh, turned down tempting offers, and rebuilt everything from the ground up,” she noted.
She further applauded Mohit’s unwavering dedication to storytelling, calling him a “star-maker”—someone who creates stars rather than chasing them. His refusal to compromise on artistic integrity, even when it meant taking a harder path, was something she emphasized with pride.
“You’ve never needed stars to shine. Your stories do that. And that’s your power.”
