Ananya Panday on Women Empowerment and Safety

So, Ananya Panday took the stage at the Hindi Movie News Mind Rocks Youth Summit 2024 and, oh boy, she didn’t just talk about her new series Call Me Bae. She threw in some heavy-duty dialogues about women’s safety and empowerment.

"With great power comes great responsibility," she said, channeling her inner superhero. She shared how she aligns her work with her moral and social values. Now, that’s some next-level commitment, right? While she avoids political chatter, her projects like Call Me Bae tackle serious issues like the MeToo movement. She says, "If I can address these issues through my work, it makes a huge impact."

You go, girl! 👏👏

Ananya Panday’s Acting Career

Let’s wind the clock back a bit. Ananya made her big Bollywood debut with Student of the Year 2. Since then, she’s been hopping from one project to another like a true Bollywood bee. From Khaali Peeli to Dream Girl 2, she’s been keeping busy.

And now, she’s got her first OTT show, Call Me Bae, streaming on Prime Video. This comedy-drama is written by a powerhouse trio: Ishita Moitra, Samina Motlekar, and Rohit Nair, and directed by Colin D’Cunha. The cast is a star filled affair featuring Muskkaan Jaferi, Gurfateh Pirzada, Niharika Lyra Dutt, and more. Produced under Dharmatic Entertainment by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra, this show promises to be a sizzler. 🔥

Upcoming Projects

What’s next for our rising star? Ananya’s got her hands full with Vikramaditya Motwane’s thriller CTRL, dropping on Netflix on October 4, 2024. This one stars Devika Vatsa, Kamakshi Bhat, Suchita Trivedi, Samit Gambhir, Ravish Desai, and Aparshakti Khurana.

Oh, and she’s also diving into a period-drama Shankara directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, sharing the screen with Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan. Talk about juggling multiple genres!

Kiran’s Gyan:

Bollywood ka formula simple hai, doston: Mix some social issues, sprinkle a bit of glamour, and serve it hot! Ananya’s on the right track, but remember yaar, it’s all about balancing that big screen charisma with real-world grit. Or as I like to say, "Bollywood mein sab chalta hai, bas story, star power aur thoda sa swag hona chahiye!" 😎
