Ananya Panday on being like her Dream Girl 2 character Pari in real life

In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Ananya Panday disclosed that she would react similarly to her character Pari if her real-life partner were to go behind her back, much like Karam did in Dream Girl 2. Ananya stated, “I think I would be exactly like Pari. I also have 100 questions to ask, and my Instagram bio says 'private investigator' because I love finding out things, so it'll be very hard for my partner to lie to me.”

Regarding adapting the local accent for the movie, Ananya shared, “Luckily, we started shooting in Mathura itself, and I didn't have much time before the film as I was promoting Liger at that time. It had just been released, and we had gone to shoot four days after. Live locations really helped me because you get that time with the local people, you get to observe them, and you get the look, feel, and language of the place absolutely right when you're actually living there. So that helped me a lot. We had a dialect coach, Yash Chaturvedi, who really helped me.”

Ananya Panday shared her delightful experience of working with Ayushmann Khurrana. She said, “It was a great feeling working with Ayushmann. I was a fan of his before I got the chance to work with him. I had seen so many of his movies, first-day first show in the cinemas because I always think that a film with Ayushmann would be a solid film to watch. I was waiting for a chance to work with him as an actor as well. It was a great experience; he was so chill, so secure, and the vibe on set was always super light. We were shooting a comedy, and Raj sir, our director, is one of the funniest people I know. All the veterans, the comedy legends we worked with, they had so many funny stories and anecdotes. Many of them had worked with my dad also, so we were all just constantly laughing and having a good time on set.”

Ananya Panday on her upcoming projects 

Ananya shared some tantalizing insights into her upcoming projects. The actress revealed, "My upcoming roles are all very different from each other. They're all definitely very different from anything that I have done before.” In her OTT debut, Call Me Bae, she will be exploring comedy in a full-on chick flick, promising a fun-filled show. Ananya is also slated to star in Vikramaditya Motwane's cyber-thriller, a collaboration she referred to as a 'dream come true.' Another exciting project in her lineup is Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav. Ananya revealed,"It's a friendship film set in today's digital world, so it will be very relatable for people."
