Bollywood actor Ananya Panday has partnered with ACP Sandeep Karnik, PSI Dattatray Dnyaneshwar Bhojane, and PSI Ajay Kashinath Patil of Mumbai Police's Cyber Crime branch, to raise awareness about cyberbullying and discuss issues faced by the youth in the cyberspace.

Speaking about her experience, Ananya shared, "The conversation I had with the ACP Sandeep Karnik, PSI Dattatray Dnyaneshwar Bhojane, and PSI Ajay Kashinath Patil of Mumbai Police at the Cyber Crime branch was really insightful. Discussing the various aspects of cyberbullying and ways to keep social media profiles safe has helped me understand so much."
She added, "Through this, our hope is that it helps all users of various social media platforms as well. It is really commendable the work they have been doing to keep cyberspace clean and safe, This interaction was another step we took to spread awareness about cyberbullying, coming from the officers themselves - the information is legitimate, verified, and accessible on our social media handle too now."
Ananya recently extended the scope of her DSR 'So Positive', as she launched another initiative 'Social Media for Social Good', to hail good Samaritans who have used social media for the greater good of the society.
