Ananya Panday on Siddhant Chaturvedi's nepotism jibe at her

During the latest interview with Film Companion, Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi threw light on their infamous nepotism debate. Siddhant shared that he believes what happened between him and Ananya during the old roundtable interview hosted by film critic, Rajeev Masand, acted as an ice-breaker in their friendship. To this, Ananya added:

“Yeah, and then it went into a glacier on the first day of our friendship. With Sid, I can just call him and tell him what I feel. If I felt that something was not okay, personally and professionally, or he felt something was not fine, we have always told each other and that’s the way we have kept it. It’s a good way to be with anyone.”

"I think everybody has their own struggle. Sabka struggle alag hota hai. Difference yahi hai ki jahaan humare sapne poore hote hain, wahan inka struggle shuru hota hai."
