Ananya Panday feels she hasn’t received respect from people yet

It was in 2020 during a panel discussion when Ananya Panday opened up about her share of struggles and received a comment from Siddhant Chaturvedi who said, “Jahaan humaare sapne poore hote hai, waha inke struggle shuru hote hai.” Now, during the chat on KWK8, Ananya Panday shared, “Honestly, it’s not easy for anyone in this business. But it does get tough because I think all I worked for is validation. I am my father’s daughter and he is a huge people-pleaser. In every aspect of my life, I’ve just wanted love from people. And that’s something I work towards all the time.“

The Liger actress shared that she has still not received the respect from people. Ananya says, “Luckily, I did get love with my first film. But sometimes I feel like I haven’t gotten the respect from people. That’s something I am really working towards.”

Further, Ananya also acknowledged that it is a work in progress. She said, “I can’t just sit here and expect everything to come to me because I think I’m good enough other people also need to feel.”
