"You are discussing KNPH after 25 years" – Ameesha Patel about Saiyaara vs KNPH comparison

Ameesha Patel about Saiyaara vs KNPH comparison:

Ameesha Patel recently opened up about the success of Saiyaara and the comparisons being made with the iconic film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000), which marked her debut alongside Hrithik Roshan. Speaking about the industry’s need for fresh talent and how audiences connect with different films, she reflected on the two movies.

“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, it's very necessary. 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 said in an interview with Times Now.

She acknowledged that while Saiyaara clicked strongly with younger audiences, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai continues to hold a timeless place in pop culture. The film’s music, choreography, and emotional appeal still resonate even after two and a half decades.

On the comparisons between the two, Ameesha clarified why they are very different films. “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,” she added.

With Saiyaara making waves among today’s generation, Ameesha’s reflections highlight how cinema from different eras finds its own audience and legacy. For box office enthusiasts, KNPH had sold over 3 crore tickets at cinema halls, whereas Saiyaara is somewhere close to 1.70-1.75 crore tickets. The difference is clear and big.
