Ananya was terrified of Sara Ali Khan

Ananya and Sara are close friends now, but back in their school days, Ananya was petrified of the Atrangi Re actress, Sara Ali Khan. Talking about Sara, Gehraiyaan star, Ananya shared that back in school days, Sara was not just her senior but also very blunt and outspoken. She would say anything that came to her mind and that terrified Ananya, so she would change her path if she saw Sara coming. The actress shared:

“She was muhfat anyways, like now also, she says… But in school, she was even more muhfat, she used to say anything. So, I used to be like, ‘She’s going to say something about me’. If she was walking down from a certain staircase, I would walk from the other staircase.”

Sara Ali Khan did not know Ananya Panday’s name back in school

Ananya added how she acted in a play with Sara in school, where Sara was the main lead and she was a side character who was supposed to hold her umbrella. And since Sara did not know her name, she would call Ananya ‘ae’.

Ananya elaborated on this adding how Sara would just refer to her as ‘ae’ whenever she had to call her. The actress believes it was not because her name starts with an 'A', but rather because Sara did not know Ananya’s name. The STY2 actress also added that when she recently mentioned this to Sara, the Gaslight actress denied saying she has always treated Ananya well. Ananya said:

“I think we did a play together in school. She was like the main and I was holding her umbrella or something. I was in the back. So she would say, ‘ae girl come here’. I don’t think it’s because my name started with A, she didn’t even know that. Now when I tell her she says, ‘What rubbish! I treated you so well, but she didn’t even know my name.”
