Ananya Panday made her debut in the movies with ‘Student Of The Year 2’ in 2019. She was seen alongside Tara Sutaria and Tiger Shroff. While she belongs to a film family, Ananya always dreamt of being an actress. But did you know that she was an assistant director before she decided to make her debut?
A few months ago, in an interview, Ananya was asked about her first pay cheque. The actress who was on Curly Tales with Adarsh Gourav and Siddhant Chaturvedi as they promoted their film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, revealed that she had worked as an assistant director first. The actress was an AD on Shah Rukh Khan, Mahira Khan starrer ‘Raees’, directed by Rahul Dholakia. “I was an AD when I was 16 on Raees but I was an intern and I didn’t get paid. It was more for the experience. But I was not there for very long because it was in the middle of my board exams but I wanted to work somehow. But then my first proper pay cheque would have been my first movie.”
Ananya’s co-star Adarsh had also revealed his first cheque story in this interview. He had said, “My first pay cheque was when I sang a song with Sukhwinder Singh when I was thirteen years old in a film called Black and White. I sang the chorus with him and we recorded it in a studio in Juhu and I got Rs 5000 in cash. It was all Rs 100 or Rs 500 notes and it was a really fat (bundle),” he added.
The actors got a lot of love for ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ which had released on OTT. Ananya will be seen next in a show called ‘Call Me Bae’. She is also a part of Vikramadtiya Motwane’s next.
