Actress Ananya Panday opens up about her ‘biggest moment’ with Amitabh Bachchan

Bollywood actress Ananya Panday recently opened up about one of the most memorable moments of her life. In her latest post, she talked about a special experience she had with Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan.

Ananya highlighted the excitement and honor of spending time with the veteran actor. On Tuesday, the ‘Student of the Year 2’ actress posted a video from her appearance on the popular game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati 17.”

In the video, Big B was seen praising Ananya Panday’s performance in “Kesari Chapter 2.” The actor said, “I told her that the movie had many famous actors; Everyone did a great job. While working with such legendary actors, Ananya performed her role very well.

Her dialogues were limited, but the way she expressed through her eyes... We are all in the same profession; we are informed three months earlier, let it be about our roles, dialogues, and everything else.”

Amitabh added, “When it is time for the shoot, it should make our audience realise the importance of the situation or a particular scene. It should be realistic and should be delivered with ease. It is quite a tremendous task. That’s where an actor will turn legendary. I felt that when I watched you.”

Sharing the video, Ananya wrote in the caption, “The biggest moment of any actors life I will cherish your words forever Amit Ji.” (sic)

During a lighthearted moment, Ananya called Bachchan a “drip,” using the Gen Z term for someone stylish and cool. The comment quickly grabbed the megastar’s attention, and he playfully responded with its traditional meaning.

“Drip to me means water falling from the ceiling,” he said, sparking laughter.A few days ago, Ananya Panday and Kartik Aaryan visited on the sets of “Kaun Banega Crorepati 17.” The actors were on the show to promote their upcoming romantic comedy, “Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.”

Panday made her acting debut in 2019 with the teen film Student of the Year 2, co-starring Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria, which was produced by Dharma Productions. Writing for Scroll.in, Nandini Ramnath felt that Panday showed potential in an unremarkable film.

The film underperformed at the box office. Panday next starred in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), a remake of the 1978 film of the same name, alongside Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar. She played a secretary who indulges in an affair with a married man, which was portrayed by Ranjeeta Kaur in the original. India Today mentioned that Pandey is “bland and boring with no spice.”

In 2020, Panday appeared in the action film Khaali Peeli, starring Ishaan Khatter. The film was released digitally on Zee Plex. She next appeared alongside Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Dhairya Karwa in the 2022 romantic drama Gehraiyaan, which released on Amazon Prime Video.

The film, and her performance, received positive reviews, with Anna M. M. Vetticad from Firstpost writing, “The surprise in this ensemble is Panday who brings a gravitas to Tia’s confusion and innocence that makes you wonder why she chose to debut with the hollow gloss of Student of the Year 2”.
