Ananya Panday’s mom Bhavana Pandey admits to feeling ‘hurt’ when CTRL actress was trolled by netizens; ‘Let’s be honest…’

As a devoted follower of Ananya Panday’s journey in Bollywood, I must say that her resilience and grace under fire are truly commendable. Having entered the industry at such a young age and facing relentless trolling, she has shown an unwavering spirit that is inspiring.


Ananya Panday has been praised for her recent roles in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Call Me Bae, and CTRL. However, when she first joined Bollywood, she faced criticism about her acting abilities and interviews. Her mother, Bhavana Pandey, admitted that she initially felt upset seeing her daughter being trolled, but over time learned to handle it gracefully.

Lately, Bhavana Pandey had a chat for Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist series, where she talked about her daughter Ananya Panday’s professional journey. Notably, Ananya, who starred in Gehraiyaan, began her acting career in 2019 at the tender age of 18 with Student Of The Year 2.

In the early stages of her acting career, Panday faced a lot of backlash for various reasons, and people were quick to criticize her performances. However, as criticism is an inevitable aspect of being an actor, Bhavana admitted that she initially felt hurt by comments directed at her daughter, but over time, she learned to ignore the negativity and focus on more positive aspects.

She expressed, “I was often deeply wounded. I would wonder, why do they speak this way? However, I’ve grown tougher over time, and we tend to zero in on the negative aspects. Let’s face it, she does receive a great deal of affection as well. Folks frequently approach me to express their admiration for her and her accomplishments.

In their earlier chat with the same service, the 26-year-old expressed that she has a knack for evaluating scripts. When inquired about this skill, the star of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives Season 3 explained that she doesn’t claim responsibility for Ananya’s recent decisions but shared that her daughter submits scripts to her. If a script catches her interest, she shares her thoughts with the actress. Pandey described herself as someone who has supported her, serving more as a sounding board, offering encouragement instead.

Furthermore, it was mentioned that the actress’ mother noted that they have experienced both success and failure in their family with her husband, Chunky Panday. Consequently, she emphasizes the significance of remaining humble. Regarding Ananya, she expressed, “I am thankful for her success, but it is crucial to remember that if one isn’t a kind person, all that success can quickly disappear.

Professionally speaking, Ananya Panday recently appeared in Vikramaditya Motwane’s movie titled CTRL alongside Vihaan Samat. Upcoming projects include Shankara, where she will share screen time with Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan.
