Vikas Bahl‘s directorial venture, Queen and the Alia Bhatt-starrer, Highway, are my favourite Bollywood movies of 2014. Naturally, I have been super thrilled ever since the filmmaker signed the young actress for his film, Shaandar. A romantic drama laced with the theme of a destination wedding (ah, I love destination weddings) – could it get any better?

But wait. It did. How? Well, just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I heard that the B-town heartthrob Shahid Kapoor has been roped in opposite Alia. This information upped my excitement level to an altogether different peak. I am waiting with bated breath to see these cuties in Shaandar. I am sure you are too! So I decided to make this long wait slightly pleasant by sharing these photographs of the on-screen couple. Feast your eyes with these super candid and uber cute pictures of Sasha and Alia! <3

These clicks are enough to give away the fact that the chemistry between Sasha and Alia is oh so crackling. Plus, both of the look so cute together, don’t they? Sasha’s moppy hair and charming smile, Alia’s childlike nonchalance and fun persona – there’s something about these two that reminds me of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol‘s unbeatable on-screen jodi. Considering Shahid and Ms. Bhatt have already signed another flick opposite each other, Udta Punjab, I won’t be surprise if they end up becoming one of the most celebrated on-screen couples in the coming days.

Shaandar is said to be based on two youngsters dealing with insomnia, who gradually fall in love with each other.

Dear Shaandar,

Please release already.

Love,

Team MissMalini (and thousands of others)
