Ananya Panday Talks About Her Bond With Sara Ali Khan & Janhvi Kapoor

Bollywood actresses are often pitted against one another and compared with each other. Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor are contemporaries who are also friends. But still, people compare them with each other and want to witness catfights.

In a recent conversation, Ananya Panday said that she believes in the power of female friendships and wants to create a supportive environment for her contemporaries. She also talked about her bond wit Sara and Janhvi, “They keep pitting women against each other, actresses against actresses, but with Sara and Janhvi it's not a very conscious attempt, we constantly try to be there for each other and support each other very publicly, so that we are showing people this is how female friendships are supposed to be like, don’t believe any other way.”

She also talked about her initial years as a female artist in the industry. She said, “I think I've become a lot more vocal about what I stand for. What keeps me going is seeing change; knowing that speaking up or even through cinema you can actually make an impact. Even if one young girl comes up to me and says I am myself because you are yourself and I feel comfortable in my skin, for me that’s where I have done my job. I think seeing change is a huge reason why I keep going.” 

Ananya Panday made her Bollywood debut with the film ‘Student of the year 2’. In recent years, she was part of ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kaha’, for which she received plenty of appreciation from fans. She was last seen in Amazon Prime Video’s ‘Call Me Bae’, which was a big hit.
