Ananya Panday reveals if Karan Johar ever tried to shield her against criticism; says 'he wants us to be in real-world...'

As a dedicated follower who has closely observed Ananya Panday’s journey from her debut to her recent performances, I must say that she has grown tremendously as an actress and a public figure. The criticism she faced initially was indeed harsh, but it seems like she has proven everyone wrong by standing tall and showing her mettle.


Ananya Panday is currently receiving praise for her recent acting roles, but when she first started out, people criticized her for having an easy path into the industry. However, despite being a star kid (the child of a famous celebrity), Ananya has publicly dispelled rumors that filmmaker Karan Johar was protecting her. In reality, Ananya shared that she prefers to handle real-world challenges directly instead of relying on his support.

In a frank chat with Raj Shamai on his podcast, the young actress expressed that Karan Johar from his production house has never aimed to shelter her; instead, he encourages her and others to experience the real-world and gain maximum exposure. She stated, “He is quite intuitive and open-minded, and I didn’t feel like he wanted protection for himself or us. He wants us to be out in the real world, learning as much as we can.

When asked if Karan Johar attempted to form a shield around her, she immediately dismissed this notion. She explained, “Absolutely not. He’s the one who bursts any such bubble.” She further mentioned that Johar is always candid in his opinions, and if he dislikes any aspect of her performance or interview responses, he is quick to convey his thoughts directly to her.

Furthermore, the actress from Call Me Bae made it clear that he plays a supportive role in her career by being available when she wants to discuss something or needs assistance. However, he did not influence her decisions, and she values this independent approach. Panday described him as a solid source of support, saying “Instead of telling us what to do, he simply stands as a strong pillar of support.

On the professional side, Ananya Panday recently appeared in Vikramaditya Motwane’s film “CTRL” alongside Vihaan Samat. Coming up next for her is an unnamed project inspired by the life of C. Sankaran Nair, where she will share screen time with Akshay Kumar and Madhavan. Additionally, she is set to feature in “Chand Mera Dil” along with Lakshya. Both of Ananya’s upcoming films have Karan Johar as a producer.
