Filmmaker Karan Johar recently extended high praise to Mohit Suri’s new musical romantic drama Saiyaara, featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. In an emotional Instagram post, Karan described the film as a transformative experience, where after watching it, “tears flowing and yet the feeling of immense joy.” He added, “I don’t remember the last time I felt like this after watching a film… Joy for the fact that a love story has conquered the silver screen and made the nation fall in love… Proudest that my Alma mater @yrf has bought love back!!!”
Karan Johar fires back after troll labels him ‘nepo kid ka daijaan’ over Saiyaara praise: Chup kar’
Highlighting the film’s unparalleled use of music, he wrote, “@mohitsuri makes the best film of his career and am blown away by his storytelling, his craft and his magnificent use of music… the music is not just a pillar but a character in this film.” Karan also saluted producer Aditya Widhani (@awidhani), calling his debut “officially out of the park.”
Karan showered the newcomers with glowing remarks: “What a debut @ahaanpandayy!!!!! You broke my heart and yet energised me as a filmmaker. Your eyes spoke volumes, and I can’t wait to see your journey ahead… You are spectacular!!!!! Welcome to the movies!!! @aneetpadda_, you gorgeous girl. How lovely and amazing are you!!! Your silences spoke volumes, and your vulnerability and strength moved me to tears…. Both Ahaan and you were beyond magical!” He also applauded the music and technical crew, making “special mention to the brilliant editing team” and giving a shout‑out to “the casting queen @shanoosharmarahihai ! Love you Shanoo!!!”
Amid the supportive comments came a harsh jab from a troll who wrote in the comments section: “A gaya nepo kid ka daijaan.” Uncharacteristically, Karan responded with a sharp retort, “Chup kar!!! Ghar baithe baithee negativity mat paal! Do bachon ka kaam dekh!! Aur khud kuch kaam kar !!!!”
Fans swiftly rallied behind Karan’s defense. One commented, “Every time it’s not necessary to point out nepotism. If people are talented, they should be appreciated. You said it very well @karanjohar.” Another pointed out cynically, “Nothing succeeds like success. Had this film been a flop, Kjo wouldn’t have written all this!” Others encouraged a collaboration: “Please, Karan, make a good romantic movie with Ahaan and Aneet,” while many lauded the duo: “Excellent performance! Ahaan & Padda, you both nailed it.” One fan summed it up: “Only once in a while a movie like this comes out … totally heart‑shattering, but so uplifting.”
