Mridul Tiwari and Ashnoor Kaur Expose Saiyaara's PR Stunt on Bigg Boss 19

Bigg Boss 19 keeps audiences engaged with its unexpected twists and controversies. Recently, contestants discussed the film industry's alleged "fake PR" tactics, particularly surrounding the romantic film Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.

In a recent episode aired on November 3, contestants stirred up conversations about emotional videos that went viral, showing audiences crying in theaters. Initially perceived as genuine reactions, Mridul Tiwari and Ashnoor Kaur hinted that these clips were part of a planned PR stunt.

During their discussion, actor Gaurav Khanna mentioned not having seen the film, to which Mridul responded, "Good that you haven’t watched." When Gaurav referenced the viral crying videos, Mridul disclosed, "Let me tell you the truth, people were actually asked to do all that." Ashnoor confirmed this by labeling the emotional clips a "PR stunt." She further added that Saiyaara was merely a "one-time watch" lacking emotional depth.

Public Reactions on Social Media

The revelations sparked a flurry of reactions online. One user on X questioned, "So people were literally paid to cry for a movie? Guess I just saved myself from fake tears and a wasted ticket." Others speculated about potential industry rivalries and the implications of airing such discussions.

Despite the controversy, Saiyaara succeeded at the box office, reportedly grossing ₹570 crore worldwide during its theatrical run.
