The Panday household has a new favourite topic of discussion—box-office figures. “I am not going to lie, my mother, grandmother and I are looking at the numbers constantly,” giggles Ananya Panday, whose latest release, the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Dream Girl 2, has been inching towards the Rs 100 crore mark.
Panday admits that the validation that film’s success has brought her has been unmatched. In her four-year career that began with Student of the Year 2, this offering is commercially important. “I know that the kind of films that I have done before have been urban, and people have only seen me in a way that they associate my real-life personality to be. But, this is different. This film has already become my highest-grosser, so far. So, it’s exciting,” she says of Raj Shaandilyaa’s directorial venture.
