Listen to Story Model-actor Varun Sood, who shares screen space with Ananya Panday in her upcoming OTT show ‘Call Me Bae’, spoke to IndiaToday.in about his admiration for the latter. He also called her, a “great team leader” who brings an infectious energy to every project.
Ananya Panday will make her OTT debut with ‘Call Me Bae’. Varun, who will share screen space with her for the first time, was all praise for the actor. Varun said that Ananya strikes a perfect balance between maintaining professionalism and keeping the atmosphere light, making even the most demanding shoots enjoyable.
"It was a lot of fun. I think Ananya is a great team leader because obviously, the show was on her and it is a responsibility. When you have to keep the cast together, the lead is the one who takes that initiative and Ananya did that beautifully.
She's really fun, professional and kept the whole cast together. Everybody was looking forward to being on the set the very next day and was just happy being over there. I feel Ananya had a major role to play in that,” Varun told us.
A post shared by Varun Sood (@varunsood12) Recalling his first meeting with Ananya, Varun said, "We have met at parties, but the first proper meet I had with Ananya was at the reading of ‘Call Me Bae’. She was very warm to everybody and because she was very warm to me also, I could crack jokes, make fun of things, and laugh around. It was just the vibe that broke the ice.
She didn't have to say anything much. It's just how she treated everybody and how she treated me was what broke the ice. It wasn't awkward at all, we just had too much fun on the sets.
” Further talking about his character, Varun shared, "In the series, I just went all out with the character that I am playing. I had experimented so much and it's probably one of the most fun characters that I've played." ‘Call Me Bae’ streams on Prime Video from September 6.
