Last Updated:

Ananya Panday recently appeared on Lilly Singh's podcast and opened up about the scrutiny she has to endure as an actor. Ananya said that when she first entered Bollywood, she was a teenager and was mocked for being skinny. As she grew older and her body began to develop, she was subjected to butt surgery rumours. Ananya has now addressed these speculations and said that her body is naturally filling out as she is ageing.
Ananya Panday said, 'I was 18 or 19 when I started out, and I was really skinny. Everyone used to kind of make fun about that. They were like, 'Oh, you have chicken legs. You look like a matchstick. You don't have tits. You don't have an ass.' So that was what it was first."
'Now that I'm growing up and naturally, my body is filling out, they were like, 'Oh, there's no way. She's got her butt done. She's got this done.' You can never win. It's constant… anything you do. No matter what shape you are, no matter what size you are. People will constantly have something to say and criticise… especially with women. I don't feel like they do that to men at all," Ananya added.
Recently, Ananya Panday has been through a transformative phase in her professional and as well as personal life. Ananya Panday's glow-up isn't just about wardrobe wins or smarter film choices—it's also deeply rooted in a mindful shift towards wellness. While the actor has long embraced body positivity and doesn't hesitate to indulge in her love for pizzas and gelatos, she's currently on a disciplined wellness journey that's transforming how she feels inside and out. The actor shared that this shift isn't about restriction but understanding what works for her body.
Meanwhile, fans are excited to learn that her show, Call Me Bae, will start filming its sequel this year. As viewers eagerly await fresh updates on the sequel, Lisa Mishra, who played a pivotal role in the show, recently sat down for a chat with Bollywood Hungama to spill the beans on Call Me Bae 2. The singer-actress, in a big update, revealed that the shooting would begin this year, adding that she and the entire team are excited to return to the sets of the most-awaited series.
