In a candid moment during her recent interaction with Variety India, Ananya Panday was asked where she sees herself in the next five years — and her answer reflected hunger, ambition and confidence.

“There's so many more genres I've not explored. So many more characters I haven't played, so many directors I want to work with. I really feel like I've not even begun properly yet. I feel there's so much more to achieve and so much to do.”

Beyond ambition, what continues to drive her is the deeper meaning behind the craft. Speaking about what she loves most about being an actor, she shared, “My favourite part of my job is the influence that we have. The impact that cinema can make on people.” 

Ananya Panday has been actively working on multiple film projects. She recently starred in 'Liger' alongside Vijay Deverakonda, and although it did not perform well at the box office, she is now busy with 'Dream Girl 2,' where she stars opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. Additionally, she is set to appear in 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan,' which features Adarsh Gourav and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
