Embracing vulnerabilities is difficult, but I also think it is rewarding-Ananya Panday
8:13 AM
The actor says that while it is never easy to acknowledge and embrace one’s vulnerabilities, she finds the journey ‘rewarding’
Sugandha Rawal (HINDUSTAN TIMES; March 30, 2021)
Ananya Panday has been trolled and body shamed on several occasions, and yet she doesn’t want to let go of even one of those experiences. The actor says she is on a journey of getting comfortable with her body, and is constantly learning to love herself “a little more every day”.
“Getting comfortable with one’s body is a process. It doesn’t happen in one week. It is a long journey, and that is what I have realised with my experiences... I am learning to love myself a little more every day,” Panday tells us.
Ask her how she got to this state of mind and the 22-year-old says, “I have learnt a lot along the way... I wouldn’t be the person that I am today if I didn’t have those experiences. I am grateful. I wouldn’t want it in any other way.”
Since the time she came into the spotlight, along with appreciation, Panday has also had to face harsh criticism — sometimes for having it easy in the industry as the daughter of actor Chunky Panday, sometimes for her body, and at other times for her fashion choices.
She has, in fact, always been vocal about her struggles, and even took a stand against cyberbullying. But opening up about one’s vulnerabilities does not always come easy, whether you are a commoner or a celebrity.
“Embracing vulnerabilities is difficult, but I also think it is rewarding,” says the actor, who debuted with Student Of The Year 2 (2019) and then followed it up with films such as Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019) and Khaali Peeli (2020).
“When a lot of people come up to me and say that they have been through similar things, and [you realise that] you opening up [about your personal struggles] has helped them in some way… it is very rewarding. It can be scary but it is totally worth it,” explains Panday, who recently walked as the showstopper at finale of the phygital edition of Fashion Design Council of India x Lakme Fashion Week.
Meanwhile, she has also made her peace with the new realities brought upon by the Covid-19 pandemic. “It is all about finding joy in this new era, and making the most of the moments that you have while still being safe at the same time,” says the actor, who has started working on her pan-India film, Liger.
For Panday, the little things in life have gained more importance, and “overpowered everything else”. “I have also found a lot more energy and passion towards my work,” she adds.
I kept telling Sara Ali Khan that she’s so fabulous in Coolie No 1 songs-Ananya Panday

At the age of 22, Ananya Panday has already had three releases and is shooting for two more apart from having more projects lined up. But the actor says that she isn’t looking to be part of any rat race.
“I believe in healthy competition. It can be really fun and motivating,” she says, adding, “Having said that, I really get happy when other people my age do something good. I was really excited to watch Coolie No 1 (2020), and kept telling Sara (Ali Khan, actor) she’s so fabulous in all the songs. We jam to each other’s music. I feel happy when I see everyone do well. It also motivates me and helps me set the benchmark higher,” she says.
Liger, opposite Vijay Deverakonda, and Shakun Batra’s untitled next are on Panday’s 2021 calendar. Getting carried away with the fame would be pretty easy, but Panday has people around her to keep her focused.
“My family and friends keep me grounded. I still have the same friends I had when I was four years old. I was in the same school with the same batch mates for twelve years. Nothing in my personal life has changed at all. Once I am done shooting, I am at home, a normal girl who fights with her sister, and her parents don’t allow her to do things (laughs). Both my parents (actor Chunky Panday and Bhavana Pandey) are extremely humble,” says the actor.
Panday has seen the Hindi film industry change a lot from her father’s time. She adds, “Definitely people are different here, it’s like a different zone now, compared to when my dad was a part of it. I feel there’s still a sense of unity and brotherhood in the industry. It has also been kind and welcoming towards me. I feel they are very supportive. All the films I worked in and am working in, everyone I met on those sets are like family to me. I am in touch with most people.”

Ali Abbas Zafar, who has directed multiple hits, including Sultan (2016), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Bharat (2019), has joined hands with Zee Studios to co-produce his maiden production. Titled Khaali Peeli, the film will be directed by Maqbool Khan.

Elaborating on his long-term association with the studio, Ali Abbas Zafar said, “Khaali Peeli’s process has been organic — Maqbool, Himanshu (Kishan Mehra, co-producer) and I worked on the script for almost a year, and when we felt that it was totally baked, we took it to this enthusiastic young cast. I am happy that the studio is producing this film with us, apart from the other project that we are working on. We will soon announce our next big collaboration as well.”
Shariq Patel, CEO, Zee Studios, shared, “We are delighted to partner with Ali as he commences his journey as a producer. This is the first of many. It’s such an exciting script with tremendously promising talent attached to the film.
