Ananya Panday reveals what she learned during the shoot of Gehraiyaan

Actor Ananya Panday who is just three films old is all set to star opposite superstar Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi in Gehraiyaan. Ananya is overwhelmed to have gotten the chance to work with them as well as filmmaker Shakun Batra for the first time. However, in a recent interview, the Student Of The Year 2 actor spoke about her working experience with Batra, Padukone and Chaturvedi. Moreover, she mentioned that she has learned that acting is more like a reaction and she feels blessed to work with stronger performers opposite her.

“Shakun is a dream director for me. I’m a huge fan of his previous work and I was hoping and praying for a chance to work with him. I was drawn to how real, grey and complex the characters were. It was all in the writing for me — everything felt so honest and natural. I felt there was a lot I could borrow of myself for the part,” Ananya told Bombay Times. 

Further, talking about working with Deepika, Siddhant, Ananya said, “If I’ve learned anything, it’s that acting is a lot of reacting. So, on the contrary, it’s always a blessing to have stronger performances opposite you to feed. The whole team was working in synergy, and we were like a family where no one made me feel like I was new in any way.”
