After Ananya Panday, her rumoured ex Aditya Roy Kapur talks about red flags and green flags: ‘Someone who is…'
When two celebrities fall for each other, they either hide the romance from the public eye or in very rare cases, flaunt their relationship. Then there are those love birds who tease fans without directly confirming anything. One such rumoured star couple was Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur. Link-up stories began to surface in 2022 and the actors reportedly dated for two long years before parting ways in 2024. During their rumoured relationship, Ananya called herself 'Ananya Coy Kapur' on Karan Johar's chat show while Aditya referred to himself as 'Aditya 'Joy' Kapur', describing Ananya as 'pure joy, bliss'. This further sent tongues wagging. Well, over a year after their reported break-up, the former couple have now revealed what are red flags in a relationship for them. A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) On June 3 yesterday, in an interview, Ananya Panday shared that she has overlooked red flags in past relationships. She explained that she has made excuses for people, changing herself for the person she was with. A report shared by Bombay Times Lounge quoted Ananya saying, 'Again, it comes from that people-pleasing personality trait that I have. You should actually be yourself, and your partner should accept you for who you are. For me, the biggest red flags are the obvious ones — like cheating, lying, disrespecting you in public and all of that. I think someone who can't be happy for you when you are doing well is a big red flag, especially for successful women.'

In Dino, Aditya shared, 'Red flag could be… who has got a prison record that might... No yaar, I think a green flag is just, I guess just someone who is kind.

Because I think if you are with someone for a long period of time and end up being in all kind of situations inheritably kind that definitely is a green flag.' Also starring Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sensharma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal and Anupam Kher, Anurag Basu's Metro... In Dino is set to release on July 4.

Ananya Panday opens up about Shah Rukh Khan's influence on her life: ‘He has this quality of making you feel…'
Chunky Panday's daughter Ananya Panday has made tons of friends in the film industry in her 6 year long career as an actor. But two of her closest and dearest pals in the entire world are Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan and Sanjay Kapoor's daughter Shanaya Kapoor. The three have been the best of friends since they were little and have spent most of their childhood together. Even their families are extremely close, as we already witnessed on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, which stars Shanaya's mum Maheep Kapoor and Ananya's mother Bhavana Pandey with special appearances by Suhana's mother Gauri Khan. Well, in a recent interview, Ananya spoke about the influence that SRK has had on her. In a recent chat with Bombay Times Lounge, talking about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Ananya Panday shared, 'I think the way Shah Rukh Khan handles his personal and professional life -- there's no one like him. While growing up, I saw first-hand what an amazing father he is to Aryan, Suhana and AbRam and the way he's been with all of us. He would train us all for our sports day and taekwondo competitions. He was very, very present in what was happening in our lives. Even now, he wants to know what we're doing and is very involved. Also, when he is talking to you, he has this quality of making you feel that you are the only person in the world. There is no one like him!' A post shared by Ananya 🌙 (@ananyapanday) Well, even SRK's fans would agree that there is truly no one like him. On the film front, Ananya is all set to reunite with her Pati Patni Aur Woh co-star Kartik Aaryan in the upcoming film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. Shah Rukh, on the other hand, will be sharing the screen for the first time ever with his darling daughter Suhana Khan in King, which also stars Deepika Padukone.

Ananya Panday: I am not scared of judgement anymore
has navigated fame, criticism, and personal evolution in the public eye. Starting out at 18, today, she's no longer just the industry's young entrant — she's a voice for Gen Z battling the complexities of stardom, social media, and self-worth. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In this honest, light-hearted, yet meaningful conversation on Bombay Times Lounge, Ananya talks about the weight and pride of legacy, the nuances of modern relationships and why she's finally free of the fear of being judged. Over to her... Ananya Panday You started your career at 18, now at 26 with a growing filmography and success to boast of, are you less scared of judgment and scrutiny now? At the start, I was very eager to please everyone. Even now I am, and I hope that people like me, but I don't feel the pressure. Earlier, I would take a lot of effort to make everyone happy at the risk of not being myself. I am not scared of judgment anymore, because too much has happened for me to be scared of that. I think I am a lot more comfortable in my skin now. With fame and stardom comes a sudden power, right? And you have seen success at a fairly early age. How do you stay centered and continue to focus on the bigger picture? The people around me keep me grounded. In the beginning, I used to think that if I said something, for instance, in an interview, then things would change. But I realised it doesn't function like that, and only your work really speaks for everything. People will only come and pay their hard-earned money to watch you if they like your work and if they like you as a person. Ananya with her parents Bhavna and Chunky Panday Having seen your father Chunky Panday experience highs and lows in his career, did that shape your perspective? Honestly, by the time I was born, my dad wasn't acting that much, and he wasn't getting too much work. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It wasn't like my parents were discussing it or aisa kuch chal raha tha ki ghar mein kuch problems hai, because my dad always kept doing something, even if he wasn't on a film set. But while growing up, I sensed the way people reacted to my friends' parents who were actors versus my dad. So, I would be like, 'Oh, maybe there's something different. ' Maybe in my subconscious, it was there. I learned to appreciate and value what I have in the moment and to also give it my best because you're not going to keep getting chances. You have only one shot at it really. Ananya Panday You have won appreciation for your recent work, like Call Me Bae, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan and Kesari 2, however, conversations around you coming from a place of privilege continue. How do you feel about that? I've always been the kind of person to acknowledge my privilege. Even when I went on Koffee with Karan for the first time, I said that I know that I'm privileged. I know that there are probably people out there who are more talented, better looking and more hardworking than I am. But now I've got this opportunity, and I don't want to waste it, as this has also been my dream since I was a child. So, I've taken the shame out of being privileged and I look at it with a sense of pride. My father was a child of two doctors, and his dream was to become an actor, and he became one. He's worked for 40-plus years, and if I can carry forward his legacy and make him proud, it will be a very big achievement for me. I don't want to not be known as 's daughter. I'm so proud that he's my father. I don't want to look at it as a negative thing anymore because people will always have something to say. Gen Z, like every generation, is battling its own set of problems – like social media pressure, body image issues, a sense of loneliness despite being in a crowd, just to point out a few. As someone living in the spotlight, how do you navigate this, and what's your advice to young people on this? There are days when I feel bogged down, when I read some comment or thread online that's untrue, I kind of spiral. At the start, I would get really emotional and want to come out and say something. Over time, I think I have developed a thick skin, but at the end of the day, I'm human and I do feel bad. So, I would just say: feel whatever you're feeling. If someone tells you not to cry, don't listen to them. It's okay to have days where you're crying and you are angry and want to let it out. Bottling it up only makes it worse. Ananya Panday on Bombay Times Lounge Talking about relationships, what according to you are the red flags in a man? Have you ever overlooked those because you have been deeply in love? Yes, it happens. I think you make excuses for people, and you think that things will change. That happens with me where I change myself a lot for the person I am with – like I start watching the films he likes or if he dresses a certain way, I start dressing like that, which is not good. Again, it comes from that people-pleasing personality trait that I have. You should actually be yourself, and your partner should accept you for who you are. For me, the biggest red flags are the obvious ones – like cheating, lying, disrespecting you in public and all of that. I think someone who can't be happy for you when you are doing well is a big red flag, especially for successful women. I also feel bad for men because they are often put under this societal pressure that they need to be a certain way. So, given this societal construct, a lot of people can't fully be what they want to be and who they want to be. Ananya with Shah Rukh Khan 'There is no one like Shah Rukh Khan' Ask her about the kind influence Shah Rukh Khan has had in her life, as she's seen him closely since her childhood days, and she says, 'I think the way Shah Rukh Khan handles his personal and professional life -- there's no one like him. While growing up, I saw first-hand what an amazing father he is to Aryan, Suhana and AbRam and the way he's been with all of us. He would train us all for our sports day and taekwondo competitions. He was very, very present in what was happening in our lives. Even now, he wants to know what we're doing and is very involved. Also, when he is talking to you, he has this quality of making you feel that you are the only person in the world. There is no one like him!

SPUNKY, SASSY & SHARP: Ananya Panday on Bombay Times Lounge
Ananya Panday on Bombay Times Lounge Next on Bombay Times Lounge , we have Ananya Panday , the actress who reigns the Gen-Z glam brigade with rizz and charm. She's the girl who's not afraid to keep it real — onscreen, on the 'gram, or in interviews. She adds a dash of fun and spark to everything she does, and there's no mistaking she's carved her spot in tinsel town, and she's owning it with style. During our chat, she had the audience charmed and hooked from the word go. Here's a quick glimpse of what's coming up soon on the full episode, which will drop on the Bombay Times YouTube Channel. Dreams, Doubts & Honest Confessions Ananya, who has won love and admiration for her recent roles in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Kesari 2 and the web series Call Me Bae, admits that in the beginning, her perspective of cinema, was in a way limited, and her priorities different. 'I always wanted to be an actress. I don't know if other people believed me or thought whether I could be one. When I started out, the kind of cinema that I had watched until then was very different. I was, and I still am a full-on Bollywood bachcha. Earlier, I only knew there's one way of acting and one kind of movie. My vision was very microscopic and when I started acting, I was just happy that I was on the big screen. I was singing, dancing and doing all those things that I've seen growing up. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo But with more films and more roles, now I've fallen in love with the craft of acting,' she says. Ananya Panday 'Now, I enjoy going deeper a lot more. I want to challenge myself. People keep differentiating between commercial cinema and offbeat cinema. I think both are equally tough. People tell me, 'Oh, you have done a film like Kesari 2, it must have been so challenging,' says Ananya. She adds, 'Even commercial cinema with all the singing, lip-syncing, dancing, and the look of being in love with those glossy eyes – all of that is also a form of acting. It requires as much effort, if not more. It took me time to get comfortable in my space. In my first few films, I was very nervous. I would just do whatever the director asked me to. Gehraiyaan , changed that, it was like a turning point.' Suhana Khan, Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday and Navya Naveli Nanda Bae and Her Besties It's no secret that Ananya is part of B-Town's coolest girl gang — with Suhana Khan , Shanaya Kapoor and Navya Naveli Nanda. Her face lights up as she talks about her besties – their bond and shared dreams. She recalls, 'We've been acting in our own way since we were kids. We would play this game called Ad-Ad where one person would be the judge, and the rest of us had to create an ad for a product and present it to the judge. We played this for years. We would spy on our moms and see what they're doing at their tea party and then come back and imitate them. When I look at some of those videos now, I am like…what were we doing? We all shared our dreams.' Seeing her friends chase their paths fills her with pride. 'It felt surreal seeing Suhana in Archies , Shanaya is soon going to make her debut. It's admirable how Navya has turned an entrepreneur and has chosen her own path.' Ananya's love language I am a romantic at heart and I love everything about love. I believe in 90s kind of love, not the running away from home and all that, but more like pyaar dosti hai and that one person is your everything. I'm quite a hopeless romantic! Ananya's Ideal Man 'I was going to say good looks, good looks, good looks! (laughs). On a serious note, I'd say someone who is very funny. I need to be laughing all the time because my dad (Chunky Panday) has always made me laugh. Someone who can be a friend and a great companion above everything else, because I believe pyaar dosti hai, however, cliche it sounds. And a man who treats everyone equally and with respect. Good looks can come in fourth! (laughs)' Watch out for the Bombay Times Lounge episode with Ananya Panday, where she gets real, reflects deeply and reminds us that Gen-Z has as much soul as spark. The interview will drop on the Bombay Times YouTube channel soon. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
