Ananya Panday On Being The Biggest Alia Bhatt Fan; Calls Her An " Overachiever ".

Ananya Panday has always been passionate about Bollywood. From a young age, she dreamed of becoming an actress, inspired by her favorite stars like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Salman Khan, and Karisma Kapoor. In fact, she still keeps pictures of these celebrities in her vanity van. Ananya has also mentioned in interviews that she is a huge fan of Alia Bhatt.

In a recent conversation, Ananya Panday shared that she has a picture of Karisma Kapoor on the mirror of her vanity van. She mentioned that it features an image of Karisma alongside Salman Khan, along with a famous quote from Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character in Jab We Met saying “Main Apni Favourite Hoon.”

While talking about her love for Alia Bhatt, she said, "  When people used to ask me ‘Which college did you go to?’ I would respond 'I went to St. Teresa's in Student of the Year 2’. I am the biggest Alia Bhatt fan. To be in the same school as her is a big thing for me. " 

Ananya mentioned that the National Award-winning actress is an overachiever who started her career at a younger age than she did. Ananya remembered attending a screening of Alia's debut film, Student Of The Year, when she was around 14 years old. She recalled sitting on the floor because there were no available seats in the theater.

“I remember she came on screen as Shanaya and I was like I want to be her." she said.

While talking about childhood, Ananaya mentioned that she would dress up like Bebo and dance to the hook steps of every song at birthday parties, often without anyone needing to ask her.

" I think it came from the fact that my dad had this video camera at that time I could see myself."
