Ananya Panday Reveals Secret Name Of Her Group Chat With Suhana Khan, Shanaya Kapoor And Navya Nanda
Ananya Panday shares her group chat name with Suhana Khan, Shanaya Kapoor and Navya Naveli Nanda — and it's hilarious. Most friendships in showbiz are short-lived, often born under flashing lights and media frenzy. But for Ananya Panday, Suhana Khan, Shanaya Kapoor, and Navya Naveli Nanda, their bond goes way deeper than glamour or gossip. Long before camera flashes and film launches, these four were dreaming out loud. Today, they're all charting different paths. Ananya has found steady ground in films. Suhana is stepping into the limelight. Shanaya recently made her debut. And Navya has carved out her own identity away from cinema. But one thing hasn't changed — their loyalty to each other. And yes, they have a group chat — it's called Ananya's Fans! In a chat with Times Of India, Ananya said, 'I don't know, but we like to call ourselves Charlie's Angels. We actually have a chat group called Ananya's Fans. I guess our show could be called Charlie's Angels." While their names now pop up across headlines and red carpets, their friendship has remained grounded. Ananya says work doesn't dominate their conversations. 'We have shared our dreams while growing up, but as much as people think we do, we don't really talk that much about work. We talk about all kinds of things that girls of our age do." From weekend catchups to keeping each other sane during high-pressure moments, the bond has survived fame's filter. Each of the four brings something unique to the table. But for Ananya, Suhana stands out for her emotional strength. 'Suhana is very kind and soft-hearted and she gets affected by things very easily. Some people think that 'sensitive' is a bad word, but I believe being sensitive is a good quality. As an actor, you need to have sensitivity, and this is Suhana's huge strength." Ananya Panday started her acting career with Karan Johar's Student of the Year 2. Suhana Khan made her debut in Zoya Akhtar's The Archies. Shanaya Kapoor recently stepped into films with Aankho Ki Gustakhiyan. Navya Naveli Nanda chose not to go into acting and is working in business and social projects instead. Ananya Panday is the daughter of actor Chunky Panday. Suhana Khan is the daughter of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan. Shanaya Kapoor's parents are Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor. Navya Naveli Nanda is the granddaughter of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan and the daughter of Shweta Bachchan.

Friendship Day Special: Ananya Panday gets candid about growing up with Suhana Khan, Shanaya Kapoor & Navya Naveli Nanda
Suhana Khan, Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday and Navya Naveli Nanda In an industry where relationships often flicker with the arc lights, Ananya Panday , Suhana Khan , Shanaya Kapoor and Navya Naveli Nanda share a bond that predates their public personas and glamorous debuts. Their friendship isn't one forged by fame, but one nurtured since childhood — long before red carpets, fan pages, and film offers became part of their vocabulary. They were just little girls then, dressing up in their mothers' saris, mimicking grown-up tea parties and playing make-believe games. From playdates and vacations to stepping into adulthood under a media microscope, these four have grown up together and grown into themselves — with grace and grit, and always cheering for each other. Ananya made her Bollywood debut first and has since steadily built her career in the film industry. Suhana is a talent waiting to explode, and Shanaya made a fine debut recently. Navya has consciously chosen a path outside showbiz as an entrepreneur and changemaker. But despite their divergent journeys, their bond has remained strong, steady, and refreshingly real. 'We have shared our dreams while growing up' Talking about their friendship of many years, Ananya says, 'We have shared our dreams while growing up, but as much as people think we do, we don't really talk that much about work. We talk about all kinds of things that girls of our age do.' 'Suhana is very kind and soft-hearted' Ask her what she admires the most about each of her closest friends, and she responds with enthusiasm. 'Suhana is very kind and soft-hearted and she gets affected by things very easily. Some people think that 'sensitive' is a bad word, but I believe being sensitive is a good quality. As an actor, you need to have sensitivity, and this is Suhana's huge strength.' Shanaya, Suhana, Ananya and Navya 'Shanaya is a very strong individual' Moving on to Shanaya, who recently made her debut, Ananya adds, 'Shanaya is a very strong individual; she can keep going and going, and that's an admirable quality in her.' 'Navya has found her own path' Navya, who chose to stay away from acting despite coming from a legendary film lineage, gets a shoutout too. 'Navya is so smart, and she's found her own path, and that's amazing. It's inspiring how she went back to do an MBA. She's an entrepreneur, has started her own NGO, and has 4-5 businesses running at the same time.' 'We like to call ourselves Charlie's Angels' On a lighter note, we ask Ananya if the four of them were to star in a reality show together twenty years from now, what would it be called, and she bursts into laughter and says, 'I don't know, but we like to call ourselves Charlie's Angels. We actually have a chat group called Ananya's Fans (laughs!). I guess our show could be called Charlie's Angels.' This girl gang is a refreshing reminder of the joy of having friends who've known you long before the world did.
