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 romantic comedies Student of the Year 2 and 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).
