Aneet Padda, who is reeling from the recent success of Saiyaara, has a unique connection with Alia Bhatt. Apart from, being a huge admirer of Alia, Aneet's debut film, Saiyaara, also shares a link with Alia's family. The film was directed by Mohit Suri, who happens to be Alia Bhatt's cousin. There's one more common factor that Aneet Padda now shares with Alia. During her audition for Saiyaara, Aneet performed a well-known scene from Alia's film Highway, which really impressed the casting director, Shanoo Sharma, who remembers reaching out to Aneet when the actress was only nineteen years old.
