Actress Swara Bhasker claimed, "Nothing sells more than a story about victimised men." She spoke about 'Saiyaara' and 'Raanjhanaa', and said, "India's full of 'naskatuye aashiq'...I feel it's the favourite thing of men; they want to be victims." She added, "'Raanjhanaa', poor guy dies at the end. 'Saiyaara', poor guy is in love but girl 's taking someone else's name."
