Ananya Panday: I take out my nazar every week

While speaking to Raunaq Rajani in a video shared by Netflix India, Ananya Panday got candid about the evil and having hers removed weekly. The ‘CTRL’ actress said, “I take out my nazar every week. The help at my house does the mirchi (chilly) thing. You know the mirchi thing? So, if it smells a lot, it means you have nazar. If the mirchi burns a lot, you have nazar. I don’t know the science behind it…”

Not only the house help, but Ananya’s mother, Bhavana Pandey also plays a part in keeping the evil eye away from the ‘SOTY 2’ actress. Ananya said, “My mom put two black dots behind my ear before I came here. Everyone thinks I don’t shower or have something dirty behind my ear, but my mom keeps putting it again and again.”

About CTRL

Ananya Panday’s CTRL released on Netflix yesterday. Giving the film a 3-star rating, Bollywood Bubble wrote in its review, “CTRL is a perfect watch for the younger generation who are heavily dependent on AI and AI apps to go about their daily lives. From deepfake videos to influencing your lifestyle and thoughts, uncontrolled dependence on AI is harmful to not only the user but those around them too – and CTRL has shown this beautifully.
