Ananya is slowly growing on the audience, and it has to do with her ability to take criticism and take in her stride. What a wonderful span of growth. I loved her in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, she was natural and effortless in her acting abilities. I am going to watch all her work moving forward, not just because she is a good actor, but also when I watch her interviews, I get the sense that she is grounded and presents herself very positive and her head seems to be in the right place.

[Inosukesensie]

Ananya has been an unproblematic and good person and now eith kho gaye hum kaha she has proved herself ❤️

[ifrarikhan]

I actually even liked her in pati patni.. I didn’t know who she was and I thought she was good in the movie. I think the reason she was criticized was because people knew that she was an actors daughter.

[vrushalidhongade]

Ananya is great, but the comparison to Deepika is unwarranted and actually is unfair to Ananya. Deepika had debuted in a commercial hit film, was in an Imtiaz Ali classic at age 24 and was in a Sanjay Bhansali film at age 27. This graph is unmatched and no actor below age 28 in today's era has come close to Deepika's filmography in her 20s.

[AMANCADENCE]

Ananya will go a long long way!! What an amazing career growth!! She is making her place slowly and strongly. This girl is here to stay and rule!!

[sibeerani]

She is deserve more than more successful in her life. She is very talented &beautiful, kind hearted actress ❤❤❤

[ikramaurangzeb]

She was brilliant in kho gaye hum kahan, she is relatable and she will be soon the next bigg actress among other new star kids...
Ananya is cool and real atleast....!
Love her ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[soumyarao]

I just realized that it's her accent which makes her sound ditzy!!
She actually makes a lot of sense and is sorted

[chitrakistna]

I think Ananya is a natural, hard working and a beautiful actor even at such a young age. She is a professional and can take on any role. She's born to perform and act. Love and admire her!!

[siddharthmukundan]

I understand the comparison to Deepika getting the world to see her as an actor to reckon with cocktail, but the difference is that Deepika shifted to a different city and adapting to an industry which is alien to her upbringing. These things add to the pressure. Not to take away from the performance of ananya but the comparison is not valid

[meshzy]

Respect her for saying she dont mind to audition. She serms to be more grounded and doesnt overact as her contemporaries.

[gunit]

One of the many things I like about Ananya is that she took criticism very well and now she is coming up as a good actor.

[sibeerani]

She is very talented &hardworking actress &so sweet, genuine actress ❤❤❤

[brindhanandakumar]

Ananya looks beautiful 🎉 ... love her green outfit ... Ananya has great future ... keep working on the acting dancing and other skills 🎉 ... she also comes across as a nice down to earth human being

[Ag-eqow]

She will do better in the future .. coz the hunger she has for acting and the joy she gets is very visible . All the best

[ritwikghosh]

Loved her in Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan. She's grown a lot since her below par performance in her debut. More than her acting, I love her bcoz of her positivity. The amount of negativity and trolling she got (and is still getting), most 20 year olds can crumble into depression. But kudos to Ananya, keep going Annie😊

[prajaktadande]

Always a pleasure to listen to Ananya. She is very well spoken and well raised.

[rolexescort]
