EXCLUSIVE: Ananya Panday Offers Advice for Friends, "To Sara, I say, do not simply say what you feel…” & Opens on how her Tribe, Suhana-Shanaya, Spend Time Together!

We're well aware and thrilled about Ananya Panday's close friendship with Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor, a bond that has evolved over the years. From enjoying moments of fun to consistently supporting each other, they have been inseparable since childhood and continue to stand by each other even as they pursue individual careers.

In the recent exclusive chat with us, Ananya celebrated her heart-winning performance as Ahana in the Netflix film 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan,' a story revolving around a trio that we can mirror with her dynamic trio in her real life – herself, Suhana, and Shanaya. During our discussion, we delved into how she and her girl gang typically spend their time when in a masti mood. Also, talked about how connecting has become challenging for them now as they are busy with their respective work and fondly reminisced about the time when she bought a new home and shared a quality dinner date with her girl gang. She recalls how they both were very happy and proud to see her reaching new heights in life. 

“Watching old episodes of Koffee With Karan… that’s our best way to spend time”

Ananya unveils saying, “It’s very simple for us: just chilling, talking, eating, or watching old episodes of Koffee With Karan… that’s our best way to spend time with each other. But it has become really hard now because we are all working. Amidst such a busy schedule, when we had a get-together at my new home for dinner and expressed how happy and proud they were for me.

At the end, it’s just about spending quality time and knowing what is going on in their lives. I see what Suhana is doing or what Shanaya is up to because of social media, but actually knowing what’s going on in their lives and talking about it is important."
