Ameesha Patel REACTS To Saiyaara, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai Comparisons; Says, “KNPH Was Not A Tragic Love Story”

Actor Ameesha Patel has expressed admiration for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s film Saiyaara, emphasising that she doesn’t want it to be compared to her debut movie, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, which she starred in alongside Hrithik Roshan. Ameesha described Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai as a “massy commercial, romantic film” that was “not tragic in any way.”

Ameesha Patel Does NOT Want Comparisons Between Saiyaara And Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai

In an interview with Times Now News, Ameesha mentioned, “It was high time for Bollywood to have a few fresh faces that run. It was high time, this industry needs a few fresh faces and faces that run and people that love it and know how to create new actors. Saiyaara was a film, honestly, that the Gen Z grabbed more than at all levels, unlike a Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, where you’re still sitting 25 years down the line and you’re discussing, and you know just the tune is enough to give goosebumps. People still do the tag step, the hook step and everything.”

Ameesha also clarified her stance on comparisons, saying, “Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai is a very happy film. It had humour, had music, had everything, double roles. It was a massy commercial, downright romantic rom-com kind of film; it was not tragic in any way. So you can’t compare apples and oranges. I’m just glad that Gen Z, so-called this new term, got a set of actors for them that they can relate to, and a film that they could grab onto.”
