Ananya Panday on Mental Health and Trolling
In a new interview with an Indian journalist, Ananya Panday opened up on the impacts of being labeled as âno babyâ on her mental health, when the actor recalled being trolled since her early academic years and shared that she has sought therapy in the past for the same.
âI have done therapy in the past. I am not as regular now,â she revealed and reasoned, âI could not articulate my emotions. I used to just feel very, very down.â
âThe thing, I sometimes feel with mental health and social media, is that you may read something at the moment and you may not realize that it is affecting you. I will read a comment and I will ignore it. But weeks later, it could still be there in your subconscious somewhere and things get piled up,â she explained.

âWith therapy, I was just able to consolidate my feelings and articulate my thoughts a little better,â shared the âCall Me Baeâ star.
Further recalling her worst experience of being trolled, Panday added, âA lot has been said about me, so I canât choose one moment⊠For instance, when I started, my first year (in films), someone made a fake account on Instagram, and they started writing they were in school with me and said I lied about my education and getting into college. When I was in school, I had been called everything from hunchback to flat chest to chicken leg and hairy.â
âBut we were in a bubble, and now, because of social media, the smallest of voices can be amplified across the world, and this is a scary time,â she believed.
