Ananya Panday completed 2 years of being in the industry on May 10. She made her Bollywood debut with Student Of The Year 2 alongside Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria. In the past two years, the actress has grown and transformed into a complete performer. Ananya has moved from strength to strength ever since she has set foot in the show-biz.
Reflecting upon the journey she has had, the actress shared, "It’s been such a wonderful journey these past two years and I’m truly so grateful and blessed to be living my dream. I wouldn’t be here without the love, encouragement, wisdom and advice from all the people I'm surrounded by. I’m forever thankful to all the technicians, directors, DOPs and actors I’ve worked with because I’ve learned so much from each and every one of them which will be lessons I’ll carry with me forever. And nothing would be possible without my fans (I don’t like that word so I’m going to call them Ananians - a word they cutely coined for themselves) the immense love they shower me with every day motivates me to work doubly hard. I hope to continue working even harder, challenging myself, never stop learning and have many more adventures on movie sets."
"Hoping and praying for the world to heal - it’s a very difficult time and I’m sending love and prayers to everyone. Hopeful the magic of movies will return very soon!", she added.
The actress also posted on her social media, sharing, "Forever grateful for the love that pours in every day #2YearsOfSOTY2"
Ananya has donned challenging roles for her films, right from SOTY2 where she played a girl in college to a matured girl in Pati Patni aur Woh and recently a proper Bambaiya girl with swag in Khaali Peeli. She is also the youngest actress to boast the likes of a Pan-India film.
The films in her pipeline are nothing but proof of the journey she will embark here on. The Pan-India film, Liger alongside Vijay Deverakonda, Shakun Batra's untitled next alongside Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
