"The film worked out for me. But they (her parents), still at that time, were like, ‘Listen, we think you should go to college. You want to do the film. So later, if things don’t work out, don’t blame us. Don’t say we made you do this because we want you to attend college.’ But it was solely my decision."

In the same interview, Ananya Panday also added why her parents wanted her to have a backup despite her wish to come into the film industry. Ananya shared that although her father, Chunky had a successful run in his career, he had his fair share of ups and downs. The actress mentioned how her parents know how much of unpredictable this career choice is, where the failure rate is higher. Talking more about the same, Ananya stated:

"Because my dad (Chunky Panday) has had a successful run, but it’s been filled with ups and downs. It’s not been the smoothest of journeys. More than anything, he understood how hazy it is. The failure rate is higher than the success rate. So he wanted me to have a backup. And his parents were doctors. So it’s a generational thing that’s been happening in our family.”
