Coming from a Bollywood background cannot stop one from having a dream, asserts actor Chunky Panday’s daughter Ananya Panday whose debut film Student of the Year 2 is set to hit the screens. Ananya says it was always her dream to try her luck in films and that it’s unfair for people to say that she is not allowed to have a dream because she comes from a “certain family”. “I am 20 and this was my dream all my life. So, it’s not fair for people to say that I am not allowed to have a dream because I belong from a certain family,” she told IANS when asked about being judged because of her Bollywood backing instead of talent. Bollywood actors Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey pose for photos during the promotions of Student of the Year 2 in Lucknow, Tuesday, May 7. (PTI) “I hope people watch the film and then make judgement. I will be okay with whatever judgement they’d make after that,” she added. Right now, she is looking forward to the release of her debut movie on Friday. She, however, agrees that nepotism exists in Bollywood. “But it exists in all industries, not just our (Bollywood) industry. I am very lucky that I got this chance and audition... I feel internally, I will never be feeling guilty in anyway because I auditioned for the movie twice. I was work-shopping with Punit (Malhotra) for a year after that. So, from inside I worked for this and I don’t have that guilt in me,” the actress said. Also read: Salman Khan to work with Farhan Akhtar? Here is the truth She is also happy that she bagged her second film “Pati, Patni Aur Woh” on the basis of her talent. “After ‘SOTY 2’, they (makers of ‘Pati...’) saw me and that’s why they wanted me in the film. So, when I know that people are appreciating my work and that is why they want to give me more work, that is a good feeling for me to have in the inside,” she said.

(IANS) Talking about Chunky Panday who has acted in a number of films, mostly in the 90s, Ananya said, “My dad has worked so hard to earn a name in the industry and to gain respect. So, I don’t want to take away anything from him. I don’t want to be ashamed to be his daughter...” Ananya, who is also in news for “dating” actor Kartik Aaryan, talked about actors’ private lives being under constant watch. “Tara and I, our work have not been out there for people to speak about. So, that’s probably why they are speaking about other things and I hope after the films come out, they speak about work,” she said. She said she was well-prepared about the constant vigil while growing up. “While growing up, I think I have always seen this happening. It’s like I have been prepared for it in a way. So, when these things happen, it does not affect me. I knew it would happen and I am prepared for it. It’s part and parcel of the job,” she added.

The movie is in buzz because of its reviews. However there is another reason why the movie deserves to be in news. Student Of The Year 2 has been compared to Aamir Khan, Pooja Bedi, Ayesha Jhulka and Deepak Tijori starrer Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. The comparisons stated being made based on the similar graph of characteristics in the lead characters in both the films. Interestingly Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar also had sports events, which form one of the core elements in Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria's Student Of The Year 2. A source told Subhash K Jha, “Student Of The Year 2 is formatted exactly like the other film. Tiger Shroff plays Aamir Khan’s underdog character who must win the sports event from the privileged elitist students. Aditya Seal is like Deepak Tijori, the rich spoilt brat. Ananya Pandey is the entitled campus hottie, a la Pooja Bedi. Tara Sutaria is cast as the working-class outsider who must slog to prove herself.” According to the critic, a film insider pointed out the similarities. The critic believes that Dharma Productions have gone the safe, tried-and-tested way after the debacle of Karan Johar's dream project Kalank. Student Of The Year was Karan Johar's baby. He introduced three talents to the world of Bollywood - Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra - through his directorial which became a surprise hit back in 2012.<doc-sep>Student of the Year 2 starring Tiger Shroff, debutantes Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria released today.

(Source: Ami Patel/Instagram) After much anticipation, Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria-starrer Student of the Year 2 finally released today. Throughout the extensive promotional tours, both Panday and Sutaria have been extremely impressive with their chic, understated looks. Panday was recently spotted again, and like always, she did not disappoint. Continuing with her love for sequins, Panday was spotted a multi-hued sequin top and a matching skirt. Styled by celebrity stylists Mala Agnani Rao and Sanjay Kumar Dauhaliya, the ensemble from Michael Kors was teamed with white sneakers. Hair parted at the centre and minimal make-up completed the look, and we quite like the crown that she was spotted wearing. In another look she was spotted in an ensemble from Roberta Einer. She donned a sequin top yet again and we love how it was not overdone. It was paired with a printed sarong-style skirt. Hair parted at the centre and blush pink lipstick completed the look. Prior to this, she was spotted in an Arpita Mehta ensemble. The designed crop top was paired with blue flared pants with ruffle detail. Much like her present looks, it was completed with hair parted at the centre and silver earrings from Minerali Store.

Ananya Panday’s debut film, Student of the Year 2 has released today. But even before Karan Johar offered Ananya her first film, someone else approached her for a film. Take a look. A film that has managed to intrigue the youth is Student of the Year 2. Starring Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria, Student of the Year 2 launched Chunky Panday and Bhavana Pandey’s daughter in Bollywood. Ananya’s role in the film is of a chirpy and bubbly student of St Teresa. So far, her presence in the trailer and songs has generated a huge interest of people in her and she has surely piqued the interest of the younger audiences. However, even before signing ’s Student of the Year 2, Ananya had been approached for a film by someone who is very close to her and is a member of the film fraternity. Yes, it wasn’t Karan Johar’s film Student of the Year 2 which Ananya consented to do first, rather it was her dad’s friend Sanjay Kapoor who had first asked her to a film with him. In a funny video, Sanjay can be seen asking Ananya that if she becomes a star, would she do his film? To this, Ananya can be seen responding with a nod. Sanjay goes onto say that he doesn’t want to approach her through her father Chunky or mom Bhavana or any manager. He asked her if she would say yes to his film, and Ananya can be seen laughing and nodding her head. This hilarious video was shared with a caption by Sanjay saying, “#june2016 #newyork , when I cracked a deal with Ananya , All the best my darling ,love u #soty2 @ananyapanday.” Check out the video: The initial reviews of Student of the Year 2 have been good and the audiences are liking the new stars, Ananya and Tara. Meanwhile, Ananya also has bagged another film Pati Patni Aur Woh which is a remake of an old film of the same name. The new film will also feature Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar. Ananya will start shooting for the same soon. Pati Patni Aur Woh will release in 2020. Credits :Instagram Read More
