Ananya Panday celebrated her birthday yesterday, and she made sure it was a memorable day. Surrounded by her loved ones, including her parents Bhavana Pandey and Chunky Panday, and friends including Shah Rukh Khan`s daughter Suhana Khan, Ananya enjoyed a night full of fun and laughter.
Taking to Instagram, Ananya shared a series of lively pictures from her birthday bash. The first picture shows the birthday girl posing with Suhana at the house party. Ananya looked stunning in a sparkly sleeveless dress, while Suhana chose a gorgeous black body-hugging outfit. The two were all smiles as they posed for the camera.
In another photo, Ananya was joined by her friends Shanaya Kapoor and Suhana. Shanaya sported a stylish black tee paired with jeans, looking effortlessly cool. Ananya also showed off a chic purple handbag customised with her initials, `AP`.
“birthday behaviour,” read the caption of her post.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ananya is basking in the success of her Netflix film `CTRL`.
In the film, Ananya plays Nella Awasthi, an influencer who, after a painful breakup, turns to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to erase her ex-boyfriend Joe from her life.
Recently, in an interview with ANI, director Vikramaditya Motwane shared what made him choose the `Gehraiyaan` actress as the perfect fit for the role. When asked why he believed Ananya was the ideal choice, Motwane said he was looking for someone who could connect with today`s generation, someone who is young, someone who is “internet savvy,” and also someone who “gets trolled a little bit.”
“I saw her performance in `Gehraiyaan` and really liked it. She was so special in that film — so unique and so present. I loved it. So, the moment the script was ready, it was a no-brainer to approach her. I wanted someone young, someone social media savvy, internet savvy, and Instagram savvy, who has a strong presence, you know? Someone who comes across as youthful and a youth icon. She also, in a way, gets trolled a little bit, and maybe that played a part in it. But mainly, I just love her as an actress,” he said.
