Bollywood diva Ananya Panday on Monday completed two years in the film industry. These two years have seen the actress grow and transform into a complete performer.

Reflecting upon the journey she has had, the actress shares, “It’s been such a wonderful journey these past two years and I’m truly so grateful and blessed to be living my dream. I wouldn’t be here without the love, encouragement, wisdom and advice from all the people im surrounded by. I’m forever thankful to all the technicians, directors, DOPs and actors I’ve worked with because I’ve learned so much from each and every one of them which will be lessons I’ll carry with me forever. And nothing would be possible without my fans (I don’t like that word so I’m going to call them Ananians – a word they cutely coined for themselves) the immense love they shower me with every day motivates me to work doubly hard. I hope to continue working even harder, challenging myself, never stop learning and have many more adventures on movie sets.”

“Hoping and praying for the world to heal – it’s a very difficult time and I’m sending love and prayers to everyone. Hopeful the magic of movies will return very soon!”, she added.

The actress also posted on her social media, sharing, “Forever grateful for the love that pours in everyday #2YearsOfSOTY2” 

Her first-ever film, ‘Student of The Year’ hit the screens today, two years ago, giving way to a young glooming face. Ananya has donned challenging roles for her films, right from SOTY2 where she played a girl in college to a mature girl in ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ and recently a proper bambiya girl with slang in ‘Khaali Peeli’.

She is also the youngest actress to boast the likes of a pan-India film ‘Liger’ alongside Vijay Deverakonda. She also has Shakun Batra’s untitled next alongside Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi in her kitty.
