Bollywood actress Ananya Panday became famous when she started acting in Karan Johar's movie 'Student of the Year 2. ' People often talk about whether she got her success because of her family connections, and she has been teased a lot for things she has said. Recently, Ananya expressed her feelings about handling negativity and bullying on social media. She said that she would feel very upset and not want to go to work.
Ananya Panday talks about going to therapy.
In a recent interview with Barkha Dutt's We The Women, Ananya from Call Me Bae talked about going to therapy because of being bullied on social media. Before Ananya, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra, and other celebrities talked about their battles with mental health.
She said, "I used to go to therapy, but I don't go as often now. " I couldn't express how I felt. I often felt really sad. Sometimes, when I look at social media, I read things that I don't notice are affecting me. I might think, "I'm okay right now, I'm having a good day, I'm driving, I'm busy. " I will look at a comment and then not pay attention to it. But weeks later, it might still be hiding in your mind, and things can build up a lot. With therapy, I was able to understand my feelings and say what I was thinking more clearly.
Ananya, the daughter of actor Chunky Panday and reality TV star Bhavna Pandey, talked about how people used to feel ashamed to discuss mental health, but things have improved a lot. Bhavana talked about going to therapy. She said, "I was in therapy for about a year, maybe a bit longer. " I still go to therapy sometimes when I have things I can't deal with by myself. Her teasing hurt me more than it hurt her. I used to be very sensitive, but now I am stronger. Sometimes, I still use therapy when I need help. I talk a lot to Chunky, my best friend, but sometimes I notice I'm not being fair.
Ananya talked about being bullied online and said, "Honestly, a lot of things have been said about me, so I can't pick just one moment. " Sometimes I feel upset when I can't manage a story or situation. For example, when I was new to movies in my first year, someone created a fake Instagram account. They claimed to be my classmate and said I lied about my education and getting into college. At first, I thought, "No one will believe that. " But people did think it was true. Some days, I really don't feel like being on social media. When I was in school, I was teased and called names like hunchback, flat chest, chicken legs, and hairy. We were living in our own little world, but now with social media, even the smallest voices can be heard everywhere. This can be pretty frightening.
