Ananya Panday, in a recent chat with Mid-day on 'Sit With Hitlist,' opened up about her media training. She revealed that while Karan Johar, who launched her career with 'The Student Of The Year 2,' didn’t provide much formal training, his only advice was to "be herself." She noted that today’s new generation of actors is much more media-savvy and better trained to handle public attention.
