Which bollywood star was Ananya Panday terrified of in school? – India TV

In the glamorous world of Bollywood, friendships often blossom under the bright lights, but some beginnings are less than glamorous. Ananya Panday recently shared an endearing revelation about her school days with a fellow actress Sara Ali Khanwhich sheds light on a surprising past marked by fear and the eventual blossoming of camaraderie. What started as a childhood fear turned into a strong bond, illustrating that even in the glitzy world of film, authentic connections often have humble and unexpected origins.

The two talented stars, who both attended Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, have come a long way since their formative years, but Ananya’s memories of Sara are both funny and relatable.

During a candid chat, Ananya admitted that she was ‘terrified’ of Sara at school, mainly because of her outspoken nature. “She looked like the myth” – Sara Ali Khan. I would actually hide from her because I was so scared,” Ananya admitted.

The age difference – Sara was three years older – only heightened her fears, as she remembered avoiding the same stairs as Sara to avoid possible interactions.

Ananya explained that Sara’s bold and blunt personality was daunting. “If she was walking down a certain staircase, I would walk from the other staircase,” she recalled, emphasizing Sara’s fearless way of expressing herself. “She would say anything; she was already muhfat then!” Ananya laughed and said that this outspokenness made her afraid that Sara would say something about her.

Interestingly, Ananya shared a charming anecdote about their time in a school play, in which she played a supporting role, holding Sara’s umbrella. “She didn’t even know my name and called me ‘a girl’!” Ananya chuckled and thought about how Sara’s directness even extended to their interactions in drama class.

Despite initial fears, the two have forged a strong friendship in the industry. Ananya noted how Sara welcomed her when she made her debut, often inviting her for lunch and trying her best to bond. “She was very hospitable and would always say, ‘Let’s have lunch,’” Ananya said, revealing the warmth that has developed between them over the years.

Today, their friendship shows a beautiful evolution: from the days of fear in the schoolyard to a supportive bond in Bollywood. While Ananya continues to star in projects like Call me Bae and Sara is gearing up for her next film alongside Ayushmann Khurrana, fans are excited to see what the future holds for these two promising stars.

Ananya’s reflections not only offer a glimpse into her past, but also celebrate the unexpected friendships that can blossom even from the most intimidating beginnings.
