Ananya Panday is currently basking in the success of her Netflix movie Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. The movie opened to rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Ananya has carved a niche for herself in the industry and has delivered some top-notch performances alongside big names from the industry.

In a latest interview with Femina, Ananya Panday was questioned about the common occurrence of women being set against one another, which even occurred during her debut. However, Ananya swiftly rejected the notion.

She said, "This pitting against each other, especially when it comes to women, is done by a certain set of people or the media. All these controversies, rumours and stories when, in actuality, I’ve been lucky enough to work with women such as Deepika Padukone, Bhumi Pednekar very early on in my career and I’ve learned from them. We were really, really good friends when we were shooting, and we’ve kept in touch; every time we meet, there’s warmth."

She further added, "This is true even with Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. There’s a lot of comfort and love and support that I feel from them. Every female actor, especially the ones that I’ve come across, will always say that the women that they’ve encountered in the industry are some of their most long-lasting friends. They’ve gotten a lot of support from women within the industry, I don’t think anyone understands that from the outside"
