Ananya Panday is also known as the ‘Best Student of the Year’. The girl took some time out from her hectic shooting schedule of her film Khaali Peeli, to spend time with her loved ones on the occasion of Diwali.

When asked how she feels about celebrating the festival for the first time as an established Bollywood actress, she said, “This time, for a change, I had to plan my work schedules around Diwali. Luckily, I am not shooting on Diwali day and I don’t think anyone would want to do that. But I am working a day before Diwali and then two days post that. But usually, we used to have a week-long holiday when I was in school. So, for me, technically, this is a sort of working Diwali.”

The actress continues, “I love my work, so hopefully, I will have a working birthday as well, since I’ll be promoting Pati Patni Aur Woh around that time. I feel that will be a great way to ring in my 21st birthday.”

On the work front, Ananya will next be seen in Pati Patni Aur Woh, which is slated to release in December 2019. Khaali Peeli, which is Ananya’s next project alongside Ishaan Khatter, is all set to hit theatres on the 12th of June 2020.
