Ananya Panday on parties at Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat

Talking about best party she has attended at Mannat, Ananya said, “The best parties are the ones that end at Mannat. After we go to places – for example after Manish’s (Malhotra) Diwali party – me, Suhana, Shah Rukh sir, Shanaya, and Navya, we went back, sat, and ate our burgers and discussed what happened through the night. And sometimes we continue dancing, just a few of us, and those are the best parties. The after-after parties,” she said.

She also spoke about her idols in Bollywood, and named Shah Rukh Khan as one of them. Lauding the superstar, she said, “The way he (SRK) is and the way he makes the people around him feel. Not just family but any person he comes in contact with. I think that is such a charming quality. I wish to be even one percent of that one day.”
