She continued, “I will hold on to both. I will carry all our years together. I will be a good person. I will carry your jokes and repeat them every chance I get. I will carry your kindness and your light into every dark room. I will carry your stories and tell them to the world. I will carry your love—you taught me the purest, most unconditional kind. I will carry you.”

Aneet On Her Grandfather’s Alzheimer’s Disease

In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Aneet revealed that her grandfather was battling Alzheimer’s disease. She shared, “My dadu has Alzheimer’s, which made Saiyaara even more emotional for me. He’s at a point now where he doesn’t remember most things, but I believed in this film because it says ‘dimaag bhool jaata hai par dil kabhi nahi bhoolta’ (the mind forgets but the heart does not), and that’s very true for my dadu. He doesn’t remember my name; he doesn’t remember most things, but he calls me Heeraput, or Makkhan.”
