Did you know Ananya Panday worked as an assistant director in Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan's Raees?

A couple of months ago, Ananya Panday was in a conversation with Curly Tales wherein she spoke about her recently released coming-of-age film Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. While munching on some snacks, the actress revealed when did she start working. She stated, “I was an AD (Assistant Director) when I was 16 on Raees but I was an intern and I didn’t get paid. It was more for the experience. But I was not there for very long because it was in the middle of my board exams but I wanted to work somehow. But then my first proper pay cheque would have been my first movie,” said the actress who debuted with Student Of The Year 2 in 2019.

Ananya’s co-actor Adarsh Gourav was also part of the same interview. Answering the same question for himself, The White Tiger actor divulged, “My first pay cheque was when I sang a song with Sukhwinder Singh when I was thirteen years old in a film called Black and White. I sang the chorus with him and we recorded it in a studio in Juhu and I got Rs 5000 in cash. It was all Rs 100 or Rs 500 notes and it was a really fat (bundle),” he smiled.
