Ananya Panday, celebrating the triumph of her recent OTT release “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan,” expresses immense joy and gratitude for the film’s reception. She feels validated as an actor and for her portrayal of Ahaana, a character resonating deeply with the audience.
The unexpected love for the film, exploring modern relationships in the social media age, surprised Panday and the team. They acknowledge the film’s theatrical feel due to the immediate audience response and viewership surge around New Year’s.
Panday highlights the film’s relatability, citing how even minor details resonated with viewers, including character interactions, hangout spots, and the pervasive influence of social media on relationships.
She confirms the strong off-screen camaraderie with her co-stars, Adarsh Gaurav and Siddhant Chaturvedi, stating that they’ve become synonymous with their on-screen characters Neil and Amaad. Workshops fostered naturality in their performances.
Regarding social media speculations about her personal and professional life, Panday acknowledges growing up in the social media era. While initially enjoying sharing aspects of her life on private platforms, she now prefers privacy, both personally and professionally. Work takes precedence over social media updates, and she emphasizes individual comfort levels in navigating this often demanding platform.
Moving forward, Panday seeks roles that defy black and white characterizations, embracing the complexities of real-life individuals. She wants audiences to relate to her characters and aspires to explore big commercial massy cinema, a genre she enjoys consuming as an audience member. Additionally, she dreams of portraying characters requiring specific skill development, such as athletes, classical singers, or dancers.
