Who is Ananya Panday?
Ananya Panday is one of Bollywood’s most prominent Gen Z stars — the daughter of veteran comedy actor Chunky Panday and entrepreneur Bhavana Panday. Born on October 30, 1998 in Mumbai, she made her acting debut at just 20 in Student of the Year 2 (2019). Despite mixed early reviews, Ananya has proven her critics wrong with a strong run of OTT performances — particularly Gehraiyaan (2022), Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023) and her breakout critical role in the Netflix techno-thriller CTRL (2024), which earned her widespread acclaim for a remarkably restrained, layered performance.
With over 25 million Instagram followers, she is one of the most followed young celebrities in India, a Forbes India 30 Under 30 alumna, and a brand ambassador for multiple luxury lifestyle labels. In 2026, she has two major releases — Chand Mera Dil and Control — both expected to further cement her status as a leading actress of her generation.
CTRL, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane on Netflix, is widely regarded as Ananya’s finest performance. She plays Nella — a social media influencer who uses AI to erase her ex from the internet with devastating consequences. The film permanently shifted critical perception of her as a serious performer.
