Ananya
Panday
made
headlines
a
few
months
back
when
her
now
infamous
comments
on
nepotism
went
viral.
Speaking
during
Rajeev
Masand's
Roundtable
conversation,
Ananya
had
alluded
that
her
struggles
as
a
star
kid
have
been
things
like
her
father
Chunky
Panday
never
having
been
on
Koffee
With
Karan,
or
in
a
Dharma
film
and
so
on.
Siddhant
Chaturvedi's
reply
to
Ananya
won
the
internet
when
he
said,
"Where
the
dreams
of
star
kids
end,
the
dreams
of
the
rest
of
us
begin." Many
lauded
him
for
calling
out
Ananya's
perceived
privilege,
but
the
Gully
Boy
actor
recently
clarified
that
his
remark
was
not
meant
to
snide
Ananya.
Speaking
to
IANS,
Siddhant
said,
"It
was
a
topic
of
nepotism
and
I
was
the
last
one
to
speak.
It
so
happened
that
she
spoke
before
me."
"And
I
just
concluded
so
it
was
a
conclusive
statement.
If
you
actually
think
about
that
line,
it
only
implies
the
start-point
and
end
point
of
the
struggle.
I
guess,
internet
made
a
thing
out
of
it.
They
made
memes
and
edited
it
to
make
it
look
like
I've
got
a
thug
life.
But
it
was
not
meant
to
be
taken
like
that,"
he
added.
Siddhant
and
Ananya
both
made
their
debuts
in
2019.
Ananya
entered
Bollywood
with
a
bang
with
Student
Of
The
Year
2,
co-starring
Tiger
Shroff
and
Tara
Sutaria.
Siddhant
too
made
a
smashing
debut
with
the
Ranveer
Singh
and
Alia
Bhatt
starrer
Gully
Boy.
In
terms
of
work,
Ananya
will
next
be
seen
in
Khaali
Peeli,
a
film
which
is
being
directed
by
Maqbool
Khan
,
co-starring
Ishaan
Khatter.
Siddhant's
next
is
going
to
be
Bunty
Aur
Babli
2,
starring
alongside
Rani
Mukerji,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
newcomer
Sharvari
Wagh.
