Ananya Panday (born 30 October 1998) is an Indian actress who primarily works in Hindi films. A daughter of actor Chunky Panday, she began her acting career in 2019 with roles in the teen film Student of the Year 2 and the comedy Pati Patni Aur Woh. These performances earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
Panday's two subsequent films were poorly received, but she had a commercial success with a brief role in the comedy Dream Girl 2 (2023). Her performances as young women navigating the perils of urban life and technology in the dramas Gehraiyaan (2022) and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023), the thriller CTRL (2024), and the comedy series Call Me Bae (2024) were well-received.
