In a new interview, Ananya Panday said that she and Siddhant Siddhant Chaturvedi , who reacted on her statement that time, ‘are close’, and have had a laugh about the situation.

In a 2020 appearance on former journalist Rajeev Masand’s newcomers roundtable, Ananya appeared to equate success in the industry to Koffee with Karan appearances.

Siddhant responded with a comment that became instant meme-material. He said, “The difference is jahaan humare sapne poore hote hain, wahi inka struggle shuru hota hai (their struggle begins where our dreams are fulfilled).”

Reacting to the video in a recent appearance on Social Media Star, Ananya said, “Basically, I agree. But also I think that Sid and I were kind of saying the same thing. Sometimes, in interviews, as you can see, I’m very overwhelmed. If I had to go back, I would probably change the way I said something.”

She added, “We were laughing about it later. Sid and I are really close. We have no weird thing about this. People made it something bigger and it became meme-worthy. Genuinely my intention wasn’t like what came across.”

In the roundtable, Ananya was asked about the nepotism debate and had said, “I have always wanted to be an actor. Just because my dad has been an actor, I will never say no to an opportunity to act. My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on Koffee with Karan. So it’s not as easy as people say. Everyone has their own journey and their own struggle.”
