Mohit Suri, riding high on the massive success of his latest romantic drama 'Saiyaara', opted for a heartfelt way to mark the film’s achievement. Instead of throwing a grand Bollywood-style bash, the filmmaker was spotted distributing food to devotees outside a temple in Mumbai’s Juhu area, showcasing his gratitude in a humble and impactful way.
