Big Boss 19: Gaurav Khanna discussed Saiyaara in the house and Mridul Tiwari exposed the makers’ promotional strategy, saying viral fan reaction clips were ‘fake’. It all started in the kitchen where Gaurav prepared food, Ashnoor washed the dishes and Mridul helped them. He crooned the title song of Saiyaara and then Gaurav asked, “Maine abhi tak dershi nahi hai yeh official. Kaise hai?” He also wrote, “Woh videos dekhne baad toh maine dekhi hi nahi. Log ro rahe hai, kapde phaad rahe hai, itni emotional hai kya movie?” he said. Mridul instantly mocked the film and said, “Arey mujhe toh hasi aa rahi thi.”
Mridul termed fans’ viral clips as ‘planted’ by the producers and said they asked influencers to make such videos, “Kuch bhi nahi bhai. Main tumhe sachi batau ye tak bhi kaha gaya tha normal logo se, Instagram wale logo se ki tum jaake ye karna.” Gaurav surprisingly reacted, “Kya baat kar raha hai?” Ashnoor also alleged a “public relations stunt”. A curious Gaurav asked, “But how is the film?” he continued to ask. With her back turned to Gaurav, Ashnoor replied, “Good hai. One time seizure. Ha, but aise nahi ki rula de blah.” This sudden and surprising conversation became the highlight of the episode and quickly went viral.
The makers are deliberately airing the episode in the episode to bring out the PR stunt of the movie Saiyaara.
Mridul Tiwari and Ashnoor Kaur voiced the PR stunt in which influencers were paid to post a fake crying scene reaction while watching a movie. Of course it was smart…

Several netizens shared their thoughts on the film and Mridul-Gaurav-Ashnoor’s talk about X. One netizen wrote: “They paid influencers to cry… meanwhile I cry for free every Monday considering my workload. Good thing I skipped the Saiyaara stunt show.” Another netizen wrote: “So people were being paid to cry over a movie? I guess I just saved myself from fake tears and wasted tickets.” One netizen wrote: “#MridulTiwari just called #Saiyaara ‘bakwas’ while #AshnoorKaur tagged the hype as ‘PR purposes’. I don’t understand why people are hyping a remake movie like this. If you want the story, watch the original #AMomentToRemember; it tells it much better.”
