Ananya Panday, a popular Bollywood actress known for her roles in movies like Student of the Year 2 and Pati Patni Aur Woh, has once again found herself at the centre of online discussion. A throwback video of her rating herself as an actor has resurfaced on Reddit and is going viral for all the wrong reasons. The clip, taken from a rapid-fire segment on Pinkvilla, shows Ananya hesitating as she’s asked to rate her acting skills. After a brief pause, she nervously laughs and says, “I can’t do this… Like a 3… How can I rate myself as an actor?" While her response appeared to be light-hearted and self-aware, many internet users didn’t see it that way.

Fans Reaction On Ananya Panday’s Viral Video

Ananya Panday’s viral clip caught netizens attention as Reddit users were quick to react, suggesting that the video felt more like a public relations move than an honest admission. One user commented, “The thing is, it’s actually working. People do sympathise with her. All the Insta girlies unite to defend her in any reel criticising her.” Another added, “Nepotism or no nepotism—if you are focused on winning PR games instead of working on your craft, people won’t watch you.” A third user said, “I would have given her -10. I mean 2 bhi zyada h iske liye toh.”
