Key Points

New Delhi, Whether romance or thriller, social media is going to be a prevalent character in movies going forward, says actor Ananya Panday who has emerged as the go-to actor to tell stories rooted in modern technology with CTRL, Call Me Bae and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan.ay..

In the Vikramaditya Motwane-directed CTRL, where a story unfolds entirely through various screens, Panday plays Nella, a social media influencer whose life comes crashing down when she enlists the help of an AI to erase her cheating ex from her digital life..

The actor said the timing of the release of her three projects, where her characters digital life play a key role in the narrative, makes it seem like they have a connection but she didnt think about it while signing them..

But the part that I kind of had to dive a little deeper into was her family life because she's someone who comes from Delhi and her parents run a bakery and they always wanted her to work there, but she always saw more for herself Also, figuring out all the influencer stuff Being an actor, I find all the reel making and stuff very tough..

Panday, who made her movie debut in 2019 with Student of the Year 2, has faced her fair share of social media trolling and while she wouldnt specifically like to talk about it, she credits it as part of her growth..
