You know I have never won that award but my daughter, she had been practising it since she was young. She used to go in front of the mirror and practice that she's won the Filmfare. And now, the award has finally come to my house.” However, it’s not just Chunky Panday, who is extremely happy on his daughter’s massive win. Ananya’s mother, Bhavana Panday also took to Instagram and congratulated her daughter with a beautiful caption that can be read as “So proud of you my Baby Girl !!! Love you too much !!!

In an interview with the Bombay Times, Chunky Panday had revealed that one advice, had given to his daughter, Ananya since the day she decided to be an actress in Bollywood. He had revealed, “The most important thing for any actor is to be accepted by the audience. I’ve always told this to Ananya because there’s just that much advice I can dole out. She’ll have to figure her way through this on her own, making her own choices and her own mistakes. I’ve always told her that no one can ever predict the box-office success of a film because a billion people decide that. I stopped worrying when I saw Student Of The Year 2 at a private screening. Bhavana and I were sure she would find acceptance. There’s no harm in being excited and optimistic, but one should never get carried away.”
In a conversation with the Entertainment Times, Ananya had shared the first thing she did after her name was announced for the Filmfare Award. She had revealed, “The first thing I did after my name was announced is that I hugged Karan Johar (host) for 10 sec. Later my dad was the first person whom I called and informed him. He was like I wish was there to see you win the trophy. He was going to come, but something came up and he missed being here. He has never won a Filmfare so this is a big deal for me.” (Also Read: Abhishek Bachchan And Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Combined Net Worth, She Owns A Ring Worth 70 Lakh)
