Already
a
familiar
face
in
the
circles
forming
a
desi
Charlies
Angels
troika
with
childhood
besties
and
fellow
star
kids
Suhana
Khan
and
Shanaya
Kapoor,
Ananya
Pandey’s
entry
in
Bollywood
was
a
foregone
conclusion.
But
it
was
only
when
actor
Chunky
Pandey
and
his
model
wife
Bhavana’s
elder
daughter
was
formally
launched
by
Karan
Johar’s
Dharma
Production
in
Student
Of
The
Year
2,
Ananya’s
privilege
would
make
its
presence
felt
for
better
and
worse.
Moving
forward
with
the
tag
of
‘nepo
baby’
while
trying
to
prove
your
worth
to
a
world
eager
to
pull
you
down
for
having
things
offered
on
a
platter
can
be
tough
and
Ananya’s
foot-in-the-mouth
syndrome
didn’t
really
help
her
cause.
Only
turns
out
she’s
more
thick-skinned
than
she
gets
credit
for
and
let
her
goof-ups
be
her
grounding
exercise.
It
took
a
while
but
even
her
worst
critics
have
come
around
to
acknowledging
her
talent.
So
far,
her
appeal’s
limited
to
OTT
but
with
Kesari
2,
the
26
year
old
charms
the
big
screen
as
well.

Liger
More
than
the
contact
sport
actually,
Liger
is
interested
in
showing
Ananya
in
an
imbecilic
light.
Whatever
good
she
accomplished
in
Gehraiyaan
is
undone
as
Tania,
a
social
media-obsessed
airhead,
luring
the
hero
by
flaunting
her
figure
and
fluttering
her
eyelashes.

Ananya
Panday

like
she’s

out

Her

all

gathering
dust.
But
at

her

worth

Despite

Ananya’s

is
reduced
to
a
glossy
side-kick
looking
for
breakthroughs

buildings

calling
