Actor's journey
'One of the most special moments...'
Saria recalled Padda's journey from auditions to becoming a national sensation with Saiyaara. He said, "One of the most special moments is watching her go from the audition process, to rehearsals, costume trials and the heartbreaking vulnerability she brought to the process of the shoot." "But the sizzling journey she has had with Saiyaara, the way she has captured the imagination of the nation, has been absolutely overwhelming and, in some ways, expected."
