A few years back, Ananya Panday had once opened up about nepotism in a group conversation with other newbie actors, including Sara Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi and others, and had said that the star kids also have to struggle to be in the film race. She had said:
"My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on Koffee with Karan. So it's not as easy as people say. Everyone has their own journey and their own struggle."

Once while promoting her movie, Ananya Panday had said that she was all set to join the University of Southern California to study further but, skipped on it as she wanted to pursue acting. Later, one of her alleged schoolmates had exposed that the actress was lying about her admission. The actress then got mercilessly trolled but, she held her head high. Shutting all of those backlashes, she had posted a picture on her IG handle with a caption, proving her admission to USC. The caption could be read as:
"...As I've stated earlier, I was accepted by Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC for a major in Communication in the Spring 2018 semester. But since I was shooting for my first film and the release date later got pushed, I had to request for a deferral (which means postponing my admission) twice - first to Fall 2018 and later to Fall 2019, both of which they gracefully agreed to do. In my case, I could only defer my admission two times so I will not be attending university (for now), since I’ve decided to pursue my career in acting."
