Ananya Panday celebrated her 27th birthday on October 30, 2025, surrounded by laughter, memories, and a few emotional moments. Over the years, the Gehraiyaan actress has made a mark for herself in Bollywood with performances in films like Kho Gaye Hum Kahan and Kesari Chapter 2.

Her birthday took an amusing turn during a recent appearance on Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s upcoming talk show, where filmmaker Farah Khan shared a funny yet heartwarming moment with her. While chatting about her early career days, Ananya recalled, “I was fully confident… but then I left the set in tears,” remembering how nervous she once felt as a newcomer. Farah quickly added with her signature wit, “Whichever heroine I make cry ends up becoming a big star!” — leaving everyone, including Ananya, in splits.

The conversation reminded Farah of another incident from Deepika Padukone’s debut film Om Shanti Om (2007). Farah revealed that she had once scolded Deepika on set, which made her cry, but added that it came from a place of belief. “I knew she had it in her. I wanted her to give her best,” Farah said, praising Deepika’s growth since then.

As Ananya steps into another year, her career continues to flourish. After her recent role in Kesari Chapter 2 alongside Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan, she is set to reunite with Kartik Aaryan in Tu Meri Main Tera and also star in Chand Mera Dil. With exciting projects ahead, Bollywood’s Gen-Z star seems all set for another big year.
