Ananya felt the need for acknowledging and doing her bit to stand against this issue after being subjected to faceless bullying after the dismal performance of ‘Student Of The Year 2’ at the box-office. Even though Ananya Panday was good in the film, it was overall panned by not just critics but even by fans. With so much backlash coming Ananya’s way, all because of social media, she was at the receiving end of millions of comments. While some comments are encouraging, there are a lot more which are deprecating and harping on the point as to why ‘SOTY 2’ failed at the ticket windows.

Extending the need for positivity, fellow actress Jacqueline Fernandez recently took to her account on Instagram to share her positive insight for consistent growth and a healthier lifestyle. Jacqueline, who is known to be an always smiling persona, is a powerhouse of positivity and that’s what keeps her going strong in an industry, which faces constant competition every day. With her post, she has sided with Ananya Panday on this initiative of hers.

Jacqueline wrote, “Affirmations!! I am a winner, I am confident, I am loved, I am strong and powerful, I am enough, things are always working out for me. These are my favorite affirmations to use and I make it a habit to repeat them a 100 times a day! Remember you decide what to think and that’s what matters the most! But to have a real ‘breakthrough’ you HAVE to be CONSISTENT with your POSITIVE thinking! Have a great weekend everyone!!! (sic).
