Ananya Panday Talks About Being a Star Kid
In a new podcast interview, actor Chunky Pandayâs daughter Ananya highlighted the pros and cons of being labeled as a âstar kidâ, when a young actor from a film family joins the industry.
While Ananya admitted the privilege of having an actor in the family, as one gets to learn a lot from the person living and breathing around you, she is not too happy with people using this term to âinsultâ the kids of celebrities, as it can turn them against their family members.
âPeople make you ashamed of where you come from, being a star kid,â she said about the cons. âI donât want to be ashamed of my father because he has done so much coming from a family of doctors. He became an actor and created a legacy for himself.â

âPeople remember him and love his work, so I donât want to dissociate with him. I donât want to be not known as his daughter,â explained the âCall Me Baeâ star.
She continued, âI think that the bad part is that people have made it a bad word. And I donât think itâs a bad word. People have made you more aware. Like when theyâre watching something on the screen and be like, âArey, ye ki beti hai (Oh, sheâs this starâs daughter).â Itâs just become very divided, like ye insider hai, ye outsider (this oneâs an insider, that one an outsider).â
âTheyâve made this star kid term an insult which I donât think is nice,â she concluded.
