Ananya Panday on speaking up:
Ananya said that as a Gen-Z person, she feels it is necessary to voice one's opinion as they are exposed to a lot of things out in the world. "The way we are exposed to things now, where you feel like its on your phone but its also so much more… I don't know how to label it. It's bad out there. Being a young, Gen-Z person the only thing I can do is use my voice for what is important. I feel like everyone needs to stand for something, you don't need to stand for everything but you can stand for something. That's what I try to do. Personally for me women's safety and the state of that in our country is very important to speak about and I do voice my opinion a lot.”
The actress further said that she is not okay saying things in movies that she feels is wrong. She also gave the example of her pan-India film 'Liger' where she was seen opposite Vijay Deverakonda. She said that while reading the script she had said that she was not okay saying a lot of the things written in the script.
"Whenever I am reading a script I have this red flag thing going on in my mind like, ‘No Gen-Z person speaks like this.’ This is not okay. It is my duty and responsibility as a woman to be that face and say this is not correct. If I say that people are going to think that it is okay. For example, Liger where there were lot of things that where I was like, ‘Listen I am not okay saying this. As a woman this is not correct.’ They actually did make those changes and I am really happy that I did voice my opinion at that time.”
