CTRL actress Ananya Panday on being called 'upcoming Alia Bhatt'; 'I think I can’t touch what...'

As an ardent follower of Bollywood, I must say that both Alia Bhatt and Ananya Panday are shining stars in their own right. However, it’s refreshing to see Ananya’s humility when comparing herself to Alia. In a world where comparisons are often made, it’s heartening to see an artist acknowledge the immense talent of her senior while also asserting her unique identity.


Alia Bhatt has demonstrated her talent as both a gifted actress and an accomplished artist, earning the National Film Award for Best Actress. After captivating Bollywood audiences with her acting skills, she ventured into Hollywood last year. Meanwhile, Ananya Panday is receiving praise for making shrewd career decisions and aiming to be the next top actress in B-town. As a result, people are drawing comparisons between them on social media. In a recent interview, the actress from CTRL shared her thoughts on this comparison.

On October 4, 2024, Ananya Panday and director Vikramaditya Motwane sat down with Filmygyan for an interview about their upcoming Netflix film, CTRL. During the conversation, a fan comment was brought up that compared Ananya to Alia Bhatt. When asked about this comparison, Ananya responded with a “No,” followed by admiration for Alia’s talents, stating that it’s a massive compliment but she doesn’t think she could ever reach the same level as Alia.

Previously, during an interview with News 18, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap defended Ananya against being labeled as a ‘nepo kid’ and having an easy time in the industry. He stated that success can only be achieved through hard work, talent, and showcasing one’s potential on screen. Furthermore, he emphasized that Ananya has been thriving on her own merit. Additionally, Kashyap mentioned that people often make assumptions about actors, but Ananya is a keen reader while Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is known to be one of the most avid readers in the industry.

In their upcoming film titled “CTRL,” Ananya and Vikramaditya will be joined by Vihaan Samat in a significant role. In a recent interview, Ananya discussed her characters and revealed that she finds herself immersed in a world ruled by technology and social media. The movie delves into the challenge of maintaining a balance between one’s online persona and true identity in everyday life. CTRL is produced by Nikhil Dwivedi and Arya A Menon, with Avinash Sampath and Vikramaditya Motwane writing the script.
