MUMBAI: As is often observed, being a part of showbiz has its own perks and perils. Being under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi, the audience, and critics, it's no cakewalk to become a leading lady in Bollywood. From unfortunate incidents going viral to being on the targets of social media trolls, a lot of not-so-happening responses and comments always make their way and get widely reported.
One Bollywood actress, who has often been attracted to trolls is Ananya Panday.
Despite being just three movies old as of now, the 22-year-old has often been made fun of. Be it on her spelling errors on a Twitter post, her infamous comments on nepotism or being body shamed, Ananya has often been meme material.
Here’s looking back at a few times when the actress was mocked on social media:
In a recent interview, Ananya recalled being body-shamed and shared that she was made fun of for her assets even before she set her foot in showbiz. “I would go out with my parents and as I said, I was very thin. People used to say I look like a boy, a flatscreen and all those kinds of things.”, she was quoted.
During the Newcomers Roundtable interview with Rajeev Masand in 2019, Ananya drew a flak on her opinion of nepotism. The actress had said, “It isn't as easy as people say it is. I think everyone has their own journey. My dad has never been a part of the Dharma film. He has never been on Koffee with Karan.” This did not go down well with a section of the audience who trolled her for considering a coffee show as a barometer of success. This one went for days at a stretch.
Ananya has also been trolled for her sartorial picks. One of the pictures that invited jokes was when she stepped in a long white hoodie. Many cheap comments made fun of her by saying that she forgot to wear her pants. However, the young actress has always taken such trolls maturely.
In 2019, a minor typo had given trolls to have a field day. It was when the actress had shared a picture of her with Shanaya Kapoor and Suhana Khan. Ananya had misspelled the word Angels as her caption read, “Charlie’s Angele”, only to delete the post and retweet again. However, trolls had got to work by that time.
