19th April, 2024: Since her debut in the hit film Student Of The Year 2, Ananya Panday has stood out in Bollywood. With each new role she has essayed, she has showcased a talent that demands attention. Her compelling performances in Gehraiyaan and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan have been especially praised, highlighting her ability to tackle complex characters with depth and sensitivity. In the April 2024 edition of Femina, the dynamic actor shares insights into her flourishing career, the intricacies of fame, and the vital role of female friendships in her life.

Talking about her love for the camera, Ananya shares, “It’s not something that I’m used to, or I feel I’ll ever get used to – and I don’t want to get used to it because I like having that wonder, excitement and happiness. Every day, being in front of the camera, being on set, makes me just feel really, really joyful. Every time I step on the set, it brings me joy. Every time!”

Speaking about her progression as an actor, Ananya admits it was with Kho Gaye Hum Kahan that she finally felt validated as an actor. “I think everything happens at the right time. The stars align when you’re at the right age. You look a certain way; you feel certain things in your life that are able to lend to the characters you’re playing.”
