All GROWN UP

The last cover that actor Ananya Panday shot with Bazaar India was exactly two years ago—fresh faced, three releases to her name, and the wonder ofa young girl finding her footing in the world of dazzling lights, paparazzi flashbulbs, and the equally dark side of online hate. Ananya has come a long way since then. And the shift is palpable—in her energy, confidence, and Ananya’s perspectives on life, work, fame, and more... I’m a lot clearer about the direction I want to go in, the kind of people I want to work with, and the type of movies I want to be a part of,” the 24-year-old tells us with an endearing sense of wisdom. Ill complete four years in the industry next year, but I think I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs already. And I’ve learned a lot from them... I don’t think anything teaches you better than experience,” she adds.

And so, with this cover of Bazaar India, say hello a new Ananya Panday, who has grown up from the insecurities and refined her vision, but held onto the sweetness and sincerity that makes her stand out from the rest. Read on to discover what’s inspiring the young star, and why she’s so well pitched for grander heights...

Nandini Bhalla: The last time we spoke, a few months ago, you were telling me how you wanted to take a break to recharge your batteries. How are you feeling now?
