The Deleted Scene Stirring Buzz
Just ahead of its expected Netflix release on September 12, an unseen deleted scene surfaced online, creating fresh excitement among fans. The sequence showed Aneet Padda’s character, Vaani Batra, retreating to Manali after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. In a poignant flashback, she revisits her happiest moments with Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday) in Alibaug. Viewers online have expressed that the omission of this scene lessened the emotional depth of Vaani’s arc and limited Aneet’s chance to showcase her acting prowess.

On social media, many users voiced frustration that several of Aneet’s solo moments were removed from the theatrical cut. Fans felt that an actress of her talent deserved more screen presence and said that omitting such powerful sequences was unfair to both the performer and the audience. Others urged Netflix to release an extended or uncut version of the film on its OTT platform, calling it the perfect opportunity to restore what was lost in theatres.
The resurfacing of the deleted scene coincided with the film completing 50 days in theatres on September 5.
