Ananya Panday had an interesting conversation with Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day where she spoke about her career and her life. The conversation turned towards her debut web series, Call Me Bae . Ananya was asked about how the show was all about the female gaze and showed men in their most attractive avatars.
Ananya smiled and said, “About time!” She explained, “They were all green flags, be it Gurfateh Pirzada’s character or even Varun Sood’s character. They are nice people. Men like that can also exist, who are supporting the women around them.
It also makes a difference because Ishita Sharma, a female writer, has written it.” Interestingly, there’s a common factor in her recent outings – Gehraiyaan (2022), Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023), and CTRL (2024) – she goes through heartbreak in all of them. Ananya Panday smiled and joked, “There’s always some cheating or something happening.
I am like, ‘Why have I become like this’. Someone was joking about how Salman Khan’s signature is that he takes his shirt off in every film. Now, my signature is that ‘She’s got cheated on’.
I don’t want it to be my signature!” How does Ananya Panday deal with heartbreak? She replied, “I deal with it very normally like anyone else would. You shouldn’t stop yourself from feeling anything as it’ll pile up eventually and it’ll affect you in your next relationship. Hence, go through all the emotions, talk it out, cry and eat how much ever you want to eat.
Get it.
