Gehraiyaan is not endorsing infidelity: Ananya Panday

Actor Ananya Panday, who is currently gearing up for her upcoming film, Gehraiyaan said that she is excited about it. She, at the same time is also mentally prepared about the conversation that will ensue post the release of the relationship drama that talks about infidelity.

“We aren’t endorsing and glorifying infidelity; we are simply observing how four people would behave in a certain situation. But everyone will have a different opinion on it and I’m looking forward to the debates going to take place,” she tells us.

Panday says that working on the Shakun Batra directorial helped her not judge people and the decisions they make. Referring to it as a learning experience, she also hopes that the film marks a new career trajectory for her. She says, “I’ve always been attracted to complex characters which help me evolve as an actor and hopefully, as a person too. I’m hoping this paves way for more complex, flawed, powerful and strong female characters.”

The 23-year old while talking about her idea of a perfect relationship, shares, “While I was growing up, I watched a lot of Shah Rukh Khan’s (actor) films, and I wanted an ideal man who would be madly in love with me and look at me with love struck eyes. After a while, I realised that love is a lot about communication and friendship.”

When asked about her experience of working with actor Deepika Padukone on the project, the actor says, “I’ve admired her as an actor my whole life. I admire the choices she has made, the characters she has picked up and the way she has played them. She’s as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. She’s really warm and loving to everyone. She set the right tone and vibe on set every day while we worked together.”
