In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Ananya Panday in conversation with Raj Shamani. Some of her popular movies include Student of the Year 2, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Pati, Patni Aur Woh, and many more. But in today’s conversation, we delve deeper into understanding Ananya as a person, her childhood, life experiences, and everything that shaped her into who she is today.

We talked about her childhood, why she chose to become an actor, how she became self-conscious during her teenage years, and how she eventually gained the confidence to enter Bollywood. She shared insights into her father’s influence on her decision to act, her definition of being an actor, and Karan Johar’s role in shaping her career. Ananya also opened up about what success means to her, the best and worst advice she has ever received, what charisma means to her, and how she views competition.

Towards the end, we explored her idea of romance, whether she has ever compromised in a relationship, what romantically appeals to her, and a toxic trait she acknowledges in herself. She also shared her thoughts on red flags in relationships, why Shah Rukh Khan is universally loved, and one thing about him that not many people know. To keep listening to such fascinating conversations, subscribe to our channel now!

About Figuring Out
Figuring Out Podcast is a Candid Conversations University where Raj Shamani brings raw conversations with the Top 1% in India.

[aryanoughriya]

It feels like Raj was constantly trying to attack Ananya or trying to provoke her to say something that can be a meme material. But Ananya handled it so well while still speaking her heart out. So much love to her❤

[JPSir]

Thank you Ananya Panday for inviting Mr Raj Shamani.

[daniaafzal]

Felt like raj was a bit more reserved or rude in the beginning but then he opened up more and was more receptive to her

[rutujaghadge]

What kind of podcast was this??? Why are you sort of humiliating her??? She was so so calm throughout!!! You were just streching the questions purposely to get out something...have some shame dude!!!!

[nikitasapkal]

I feel really proud of Bhavana and Chunky to have raised such a kind and humble daughter. She is a good person with good behaviour and manners and it shows. And I feel very happy for both parents, I can understand how proud they must be feeling of her.

[wafafarid]

This podcast proved two things, Ananya Panday’s grace and maturity and raj’s immaturity and cockiness.

[shikhaaa_]

15 min into the video and I'm anxious for this girl. Raj is throwing questions like no end

[shrutipal]

Just one tip - i feel somewhere few questions are being forced. If you feel the person wants to avoid it, please avoid it :)

[HDA]

Felt like he was harsh on her but kudos to Ananya, very well spoken and good hearted!

[rachitha]

He wants to hear what he wants to hear. That's how it feels to hear this conversation.

[thedatadoctor]

Why do both Raj and Ranveer try showing as if you guys are more knowledgeable than others ? :D Listen !, you guys must be meeting people and listening them, but they are sharing real life experiences which you do not have in a specific field. So please listen and don't start giving gyaan

[chinuguru]

She doesn't deserve this much hate... Such a sweetheart❤

[saveenkumar]

I wish you had this courage and bluntness while talking to politicians too Raj

[sarv]

16.09 i agree with her ...2 years back my father met chunky pandey on airport and my father told me that he was so cheerful and so open and humble to him even after being such a great actor when chunky pandey got to know that my father is marathi he started to talk to him in marathi which was so idk how should i express that but it feels so good even after i was not present there . Chunky pandey for sure left a good lifetime impact not just on my father but our whole family ❤. I could not hold myself from writing this .

[RashmiAdlakha]

Raj, as a podcast host, who, I assume, willingly and voluntarily invited Ananya to feature on your show, this is just not cool brother. You’ve never been cockier, more arrogant and more unkind than while speaking to her. She is an epitome of class and character in this podcast despite you giving her all reasons to be curt to you. Do better. Be better. Extremely disappointed in your conduct here.

[tanyashah]

Ananya is a such a delight to watch. She's one actor in recent years I truly believe is very grounded and kind.

[ItsTweeety]

I used to like Sara when all these girls debuted together. But nowadays I love Ananya and Jahnvi 💜

[JaswinderKaur-rgwo]

I think raj also have some issues with her, he is judging her...why...???

[adityaaggarwal]

Raj bhai, big fan of your work... First time commenting on your video.
I think its because of your guests you're where YOU ARE!
Show some kindness, respect to the artist.
Ananya YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR 🌟
NEXT STAR IN LINE❤️

[PoojaSharma]

Raj Shamani’s behavior during the interview with Ananya Pandey came off as quite rude, with him repeatedly interrupting and pressuring her to answer questions. Rather than allowing for a natural flow of conversation, he seemed to impose his agenda on her, disregarding the comfort and space needed for a balanced discussion. This kind of approach can easily make guests feel uncomfortable and can overshadow the intended purpose of the interview, which is to engage in meaningful dialogue. Respectful exchanges are essential in interviews
Ananya has been very kind and polite during the entire interview
