Ananya Birla Speaks Her Mind With Honest Yet Well thought Answers to Utsavi Jha.

Utsavi Jha
Raring & Unstoppable

One of our most anticipated shoots, we knew instinctively, was going to be replete with a lot of youthful vibe despite the location (which is popularly said to be one of the most haunted places of Mumbai) and we couldn’t have been more right. Ananya Birla and her youthful entourage totally justified the theme of our issue. The banter, Ananya’s quirky yet honest responses to our questions and her being a total pro at striking just the right poses all made for a great shoot. And finally, Ananya was everything she stands for - humble, charming, gentle and genuine, and we were in awe. As we caught her in between shots, she bared her thoughts showing us why she is not just her father’s daughter but her own unique identity that’s ready to propel the Birla legacy to greater heights.

“What’s in a surname?” Tell us about the stress that comes with being a Birla.

ANANYA: I see myself as a girl following her passions and pursuing her vision. I feel very blessed for the emotional strength parents, siblings, grandparents lend. My biggest challenge is to live up to my own expectations which, at times, can be stressful.

You can’t take the Birla out of Ananya – is it so? Or the other way?

I would like to believe that both complement each other to distinctly make me who I am today.

From Businesswoman to Popstar – what’s the transition about and why?

I don’t see it as a transition. It is just a parallel career path that I have taken up. I have always been composing my own music and at one point decided that I wanted to share it with the world. Soon after, I started to pitch my work to music labels and in due time, eventually after the struggle, saw acceptance at Universal Music Group - India.

Does your childhood dream and present reality match when career is concerned?
