So Positive is an original cause taken up by Ananya, which is backed with substantial data, research and behavioural statistics. The initiative aims at creating and spreading awareness about social media bullying. The initiative's prime focus is to make people aware of the fact that this issue exists and is very prevalent in society. Also, the steps that can be taken by those who have been on the receiving end of destructive criticism.
The platform would create engagement to inform the broader public about the existing actions to emerge out of the issue. Ananya's initiative is centred around extending support and providing guidance to people to collaborate with helpful entities such as the government and lawyers, to name a few.
Ananya has been receiving immense appreciation for Student of the Year 2. The actress is a sought-after name for brands and she is already the face of one of the most iconic brands of all times. Entering Bollywood as a young star and creating a mark for herself with her promising debut along with a winning streak all across, Ananya has been vocal for the cause. Hence, Ananya's announcement is a great responsibility.
To capture it all, So Positive wants to build a community which is against social media bullying where Ananya Panday sure is carrying the baton with her initiative.
