Chunky Panday's daughter Ananya Panday has been at the receiving end of online trolling ever since she forayed into Bollywood. She has also been body-shamed at times and often gets criticised for her statements. The 22-year-old recently opened up about body-shaming and cyberbullying. She believes that body-shaming could seriously impact young minds and end up valuing their own worth.
"Body shaming is unacceptable, especially when it happens to young people, because they end up valuing their own worth based on someone else's harsh words. It appalls me that we would willingly make a person feel bad about their body shape or size," Ananya told Harper's Bazaar India in an interview.
She further added, "We are meant to look different; we are meant to come in different shapes and sizes and colours that's what makes us beautiful! The worst thing a human can do to another is take away their confidence and self-worth."
Talking about being trolled every now and then, Ananya said, "I get angry sometimes, I get sad a lot and there are also days when I just laugh it off. But I know this: I don't want anyone else to feel this way. It can really, really hurt."
With all the criticism coming her way, Ananya feels that there are other people who care about you. "Young people sometimes make social media their entire world, but it's important to remember that there is another world out there where people love you and care about you," she said.
In about a year and half since her debut release Student Of The Year 2, Ananya has already had two more releases, Pati Patni Aur Woh co-starring Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar, and the digitally-released Khaali Peeli opposite Ishaan Khatter. She has also appeared in several ad-films, and worked with Anurag Kashyap is one of them. In her own words, there are many exciting projects lined up for her, too.
