In a recent conversation, Ananya Panday shared her thoughts on the journeys of her friends Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor as they begin their Bollywood careers. While Ananya made her debut first, she feels her friends are better prepared for the challenges ahead. “They know how to deal with the media and come well-prepared to set,” she mentioned, reflecting on the difference in their experiences. Ananya acknowledged that her own debut felt less prepared compared to the strong foundation her friends now have.
Ananya, known for her role in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, expressed happiness about her own journey, noting how audience preferences have evolved since the pandemic. She highlighted the growing importance of OTT platforms in shaping the film industry, which has influenced how stories are told and received. Despite the changes, Ananya remains optimistic and excited about her upcoming projects, including the web series Call Me Bae season 2 and the cyber thriller CTRL, set to release on October 4.
As for her friends, Suhana made her debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies in 2023, while Shanaya is gearing up for the pan-India film Vrushabha. Ananya is supportive of their endeavours, emphasizing that each of their paths is unique and filled with potential.
