HT City vibe of 25: After turning 25, I really feel extra accountable than earlier than, says Ananya Panday

The actor admits that turning 25 has marked a big shift in her perspective in direction of life and profession. “I’m already halfway through my 20s. I think we make a big deal out of every birthday.

The Student of the Year 2 actor additionally acknowledges a way of elevated accountability with age as she says, “I feel like I’ve let go of the childhood excitement and I feel like I’m properly gonna adult now, but I feel like that’s something anyone can decide on any age, like someone can make that decision at 21, while someone at 30 might not feel that change.”

For Ananya, reaching the 25 mark coincided with a big private milestone: shifting into her own residence. “This went hand in hand because I had this goal. I think learning to live alone is really important in every sense, like not getting too influenced by other people’s opinions,” she muses.

Becoming an actress in that way. But over time, the kind of work I’m doing, especially with Gehraiyan and now with Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, I’m falling in love with the process of acting,” she states.

The actor talks about her need to make significant contributions to the tales she tells on display screen, striving to showcase totally different aspects of her expertise and depth as an actress. “I want to have a major contribution to whatever story I’m telling. Even if it’s a small part in a film, I want to make a contribution to something different to myself, and show people a different side of me,” concludes Ananya.
