Ananya Panday recently revealed that she avoided watching her father Chunky Panday’s movies during her childhood. The actress also made a big statement and stated that she was traumatised by watching her dad’s films. She said that she was scared of seeing her father die in the movie. Ananya also said that she saw such a sequence in D Company after she didn't seen many movies of her dad. 

In an interview with We Are Yuvaa, Ananya said “I used to not watch much because I would get very scared that you were going to die in the movie. I remember when I was young and saw D Company, and suddenly you got shot and died in the movie. I thought it was actually happening, even though you were sitting right next to me. I was traumatised, so I didn't watch too many of your movies because I thought you were going to die in all of them.” 

“When I wanted to become an actor, I thought a lot like you because the kind of movies that I watched were those massy, commercial ones. I still love those! That was all I could see. I didn't know there was anything else to do. That's probably in my DNA. Even going on my first three films, I didn't know if I could contribute anything for the character. It was only when I did Gehraiyaan, Shakun (Batra) really forced me to think like an actor. I enjoyed that process so much. Going forward, I want to do that mix of both,” she added. 

Ananya Panday was last seen on Netflix's original movie CTRL. The film also features Vihaan Samat, Devika Vatsa, Aparshakti Khurana, Suchita Trivedi, Ravish Desai, Kamakshi Bhat and Samit Gambhir in key roles. CTRL was released on the OTT giant on October 4, 2024.
