Netizens react to Ananya Panday not knowing how to turn on a gas stove

A Reddit user wrote, “Tbh I feel she’s lying to gain some meme points because I feel like I’ve seen her Instagram stories about stuff she has cooked in her kitchen. And turning on the gas is as basic as it gets.”

“This is not cute. If you're an adult, learn some fundamental life skills like turning on the stove, cooking some basic meals, etc. Even if you’re uber-privileged, these skills will come in handy,” added another. 

One user commented, “These people know they have no actual acting talent so they try to gain attention from doing these dumb things. She’s trying to do what Kendall Jenner did by not knowing how to cut a cucumber. Lame tactics to stay in the news.”

Ananya Panday on ‘Call Me Bae’ 

Talking about her OTT debut with 'Call Me Bae', Ananya Panday earlier said, "From the get-go, I knew 'Call Me Bae' was a project I wanted to be a part of. Even without having heard the script I knew this was going to be something special. As an actor, it is always exciting and rewarding to play a multi-layered character like Bae. There's more to Bae than what meets the eye and that is what makes her journey from heiress to hustler, compelling and intriguing. Despite the challenges she faces, she remains true to herself, retaining her innocence and zest for life. This authenticity is what drew me to the role.”
