Ananya Panday
Ananya Panday (pronounced [əˈnənjaː ˈpaːɳɖeː]; born 30 October 1998) is an Indian actress who primarily works in Hindi films. Born to actor Chunky Panday, she began her acting career in 2019 with roles in the romantic comedies Student of the Year 2 and Pati Patni Aur Woh. These performances earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. In 2025, she was featured in Forbes Asia's 30 Under 30 list. Panday's two subsequent theatrical releases were poorly received, but she had a commerc ial success with a brief role in the comedy Dream Girl 2 (2023).
