Nothing Speaks louder than your work! : Ananya Pandey

The actress talks about to successful year and impact of trolls in a candid conversation with Barkha Dutt at the 7th edition in of We The Women!

Ananya Panday is basking in the glow of her most successful year yet. Speaking at the 7th edition of We The Women in a candid conversation with journalist Barkha Dutt, the actress reflected on the overwhelming response to her recent projects and the personal growth she has experienced along the way.

“This has been my best year,” Ananya shared. “Everything I’ve done in the past has worked up to this moment, and I couldn’t be more grateful and happy about it. The reactions from the audience for Call Me Bae and CTRL… actually, it all started with Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. That was the film that changed everything for me. The character connected with so many young people out there, and it made me truly understand the impact cinema can have on one’s life.”

Ananya also revisited the infamous 2020 viral moment when her co-star Siddhant Chaturvedi’s comment, ‘Jaha tumhaari struggles khatam hoti hai, waha se humaari struggles shuru hoti hai,’ triggered a wave of trolling against her. Reflecting on the incident, she admitted, “It’s something that has stuck with me to this day. Sometimes, I feel the need to defend myself or explain what I meant. But I’ve realized that nothing speaks louder than your work. You just have to put your head down, give your best, and eventually, it will reach people.”

Ananya’s breakout year is a testament to perseverance and the power of letting one’s craft do the talking. Despite facing online criticism in the past, she’s finally in a place where her work resonates louder than words.
