Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have already won over the hearts of many with their roles in Saiyaara.
While their performances were far from perfect, they were far better than what fans have seen from debutants, especially star kids, in a long time.
The sadness and grief in Ahaan’s eyes and the innocence in Aneet’s performance have made audiences fall in love with them.
Now that Ahaan Panday has made his big Bollywood debut and impressed fans, many are asking when will his cousin, Ananya Panday, do the same?
Ananya made her debut with Student of the Year 2, and fans were quick to criticise her, claiming she lacked the talent to be in the industry and only got the role due to nepotism.
Later on, she featured in various films and shows on OTT platforms, namely Gehraiyaan, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, CTRL, and Call Me Bae. In these roles, she began to show real potential. Fans acknowledged that with the right scripts, she could shine as an actor.
Her recent performances have received praise, and even her role in Kesari 2 was appreciated by many.
Ananya may have entered the industry with the nepotism tag, but she quickly realised that it could only open the door, from then on, the journey was hers alone.
As she continues to grow her fanbase with each new project, fans are wondering when they’ll get to see Ananya Panday lead a film on the big screen, just like her cousin Ahaan.
While she is doing well in the OTT space, it might not be long before she transitions to theatrical releases. Kesari 2 gave fans a glimpse of that possibility, and many are eager to see her take the lead.
While the shift may be challenging, it will be interesting to see how she navigates it.
Do you think Ananya should make the leap to the big screen? Or is it a risk too big, too soon?
