What’s the story<\/p>\n
Aneet Padda, the breakout star of Saiyaara, won the Star of the Year (Female) award at the News18 Showsha Reel Awards 2026 on Saturday night. ‘Life is the biggest teacher…’<\/p>\n In her speech, Padda said, “I feel a lot of people believe that life is the biggest teacher of all. But anything that comes a close second, for me, it has been cinema.” ‘You’ve changed my life’<\/p>\n Padda further said, “Lastly, I would really like to thank Mo Mo (Mohit Suri). I love you so much. Ahaan Panday, there’s nobody like you. The entire team of Saiyaara, there’s nobody like you. You’ve changed my life.” Other wins for ‘Saiyaara’ at the event<\/p>\n Apart from Padda’s win, Saiyaara also bagged other major awards at the event. Panday won Star of the Year (Male), while Suri took home Best Director (Popular Choice).
\nThe actor delivered an emotional acceptance speech, thanking director Mohit Suri<\/a> and co-star Ahaan<\/a> Panday<\/a> for their support.
\nThe video of her speech has since gone viral on social media<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n
\n “Because when I was younger and hadn’t lived enough life to understand the world, it was the thing that taught me pain, empathy and love and life.”
\n “It was a thing that gave me an insight into how big the world is outside.”\n <\/p>\n
\n “You absolutely changed my life,” she added.\n <\/p>\n
\n The film, which starred Padda and Panday as singer-songwriters whose lives intersect through music and love, was one of the biggest hits of the year.
\n The film, now streaming on Netflix<\/a>, was produced by Yash Raj Films<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n
