During the discussion, she highlighted the deep bond she shares with her friends Suhana Khan, Navya Naveli Nanda, Shanaya Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor.Ananya explained their close-knit relationship, saying, “Navya is the oldest, then it’s me, followed by Shanaya and then Suhana. We’re all just a year apart.” She added, “I can’t exactly avoid being friends with them; it’s not an option. We’re practically family.

”The actress also revealed a fun piece of trivia about their friendship: “We have a WhatsApp group called ‘Charlie’s Angels’ for Suhana and Shanaya, while the one with Navya, Suhana, and Shanaya is humorously named ‘Ananya’s Fans’—I came up with that name, of course!”Reflecting on Suhana Khan’s debut in The Archies (2023), directed by Zoya Akhtar, Ananya expressed her excitement, stating, “I absolutely loved The Archies. I was thrilled to sit beside her at the premiere. She’s an incredibly special person with so much to offer the world.”Ananya also spoke about her father, Chunky Panday, and her perspective on growing up in the industry. She said, “Watching my dad’s friendships with other actors shaped my view of the industry as a warm, welcoming place. Now that I’m acting, I want to cultivate those genuine friendships as well. For instance,

Sara Ali Khan texted me after watching CTRL, and during IIFA, Janhvi Kapoor asked about my hotel and room service. They truly understand the unique pressures I face.”She further elaborated, “They relate to me more than my school friends do. My other friends work traditional 9-to-5 jobs, so they don’t grasp the intricacies of this industry or the stress that accompanies a film release. Janhvi and Sara get it on a deeper level and are incredibly supportive, often being the first to share my trailer. It’s wonderful to have that kind of camaraderie and set a positive example.”
