Ananya
Panday
recently
shared
her
views
on
nepotism
at
the
Bollywood
newcomers'
roundtable,
and
it
left
viewers
scratching
their
head.
Ananya,
who
is
the
daughter
of
Chunky
Panday,
said
that
even
among
star
kids,
everyone
has
their
own
journey
and
not
everyone
has
it
easy.
She
gave
an
example
of
her
dad
never
having
been
in
a
Dharma
film
or
on
Koffee
With
Karan,
implying
that
that
is
the
struggle
she
went
through.
Gully
Boy
actor
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
had
a
savage
reply
for
this.
On
the
newcomers
roundtable
hosted
by
film
critic
Rajeev
Masand,
Ananya
said,
"I
have
always
wanted
to
be
an
actor.
Just
because
my
dad
has
been
an
actor,
I
will
never
say
no
to
an
opportunity
to
act.
My
dad
has
never
been
in
a
Dharma
film,
he
never
went
on
Koffee
With
Karan.
So
it's
not
as
easy
as
people
say.
Everyone
has
their
own
journey
and
their
own
struggle."
She
continued
that
her
father
did
not
congratulate
her
on
her
debut
movie,
Student
Of
The
Year
2
until
it
released,
because
it
had
already
been
delayed
by
a
year.
She
explained
that
that's
how
fickle
the
industry
is,
and
how
dispensable
people
are.
She
added
that
she
doesn't
take
anything
too
seriously
because
she
has
seen
her
dad
go
through
so
many
things.
She
overcompensates
sometimes
because
she
is
scared
that
people
may
say
she
is
taking
things
too
lightly.
She
is
just
happy
to
have
this
chance.
Siddhant,
who
debuted
with
Gully
Boy
as
MC
Sher,
said,
"The
difference
is
'jahaan
humare
sapne
poore
hote
hain,
wahi
inka
struggle
shuru
hota
hai
(their
struggle
begins
where
our
dreams
are
fulfilled)."
Viewers
are
impressed
with
Siddhant's
retort,
hailing
him
as
'sher'.
Apart
from
Siddhant
and
Ananya,
the
roundtable
also
featured
Tara
Sutaria,
Vishal
Jethwa,
Geetika
Vidya
Ohlyan,
Abhimany
Dassani,
and
Saloni
Batra.
