Saiyaara Stars Salaries Revealed: Here's What Ahaan and Aneet Were Paid

On July 18, 2025, rising stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda lit up the big screen with their Bollywood debut in Saiyaara. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film has quickly made its mark as one of the most promising romantic blockbusters of the year.

Saiyaara tells the story of Vaani Batra, a heartbroken poet left at the altar. Six months later, while working as a journalist, she crosses paths with Krish Kapoor, a passionate yet temperamental aspiring singer. Captivated by her poetry, Krish urges Vaani to write lyrics for his music. As they create songs together, a deep connection forms but their growing love faces emotional struggles that challenge their relationship at every turn.

Saiyaara stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, both launched under Yash Raj Films, are estimated to have earned between ₹3 to ₹5 crore for the film, though the production house hasn’t officially revealed the figures. Ahaan, coming from a film-connected family, is likely to have received a slightly higher paycheck. However, Aneet Padda, despite being a relative outsider, is not far behind in terms of her earnings.

Saiyaara director Mohit Suri is reportedly paid between ₹6 to ₹8 crore per film, depending on the project’s scale and his recent success. However, Yash Raj Films has not officially disclosed the fees of the director or the star cast for this romantic musical.

According to a report by Sacnilk, Saiyaara saw a 16% drop in collections on its sixth day (first Wednesday), earning ₹21 crore. With this, the film’s total box office collection has reached ₹153.25 crore.
