The new generation of celebrity kids of Bollywood was literally born with the limelight above their heads. Even before most of them have made their B-town debuts; they already are social media stars, page 3 regulars, and the pap’s objects of obsession. No wonder, this stardom comes with a price--constant scrutiny, negative publicity, and most importantly trolls! One such celebrity on the receiving end of media backlash is Student Of The Year 2 star Ananya Panday.

When asked in a recent interview with about how she deals with trolls and negative media coverage, the star said, “There is a negative side of comparison and trolling, but there are so many positive aspects to it and I just want to focus on that.” However, she credits her two besties for being constant pillars through her highs and lows. They’re none other than Shahrukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan and Sanjay Kapoor’s daughter Shanaya Kapoor.

The fabulous trio has been friends since childhood and throughout their lives. They set friendship goals for the rest of us and prove that nothing can surpass a strong female friendship! Ananya, the daughter of actor/comedian Chunky Pandey, further said, “Suhana, Shanaya and I have grown up together and are practically of the same age. So whenever trolling or bullying happens, we three have each other's backs. We can count on each other during our lows. I am lucky because they are always with me no matter what.” Thank god for girlfriends!

Ananya, who will next be seen in the upcoming movie Pati, Patni Aur Woh was recently trolled for a minor spelling mistake on a Twitter post. The post was a picture of the three best friends, which she had captioned as “Charlie's Angles” instead of “Charlie's Angels”. Although she quickly edited the error and reposted the image, it took no time for trolls to bully her online. While some fans stood by her, others called her out.

Just read the comments on this tweet and realised one thing, it’s really tough being the centre of attention at all times. When your every move is criticised, I can only wonder how tough it would be mentally.

Hats off to you Ananya and best of luck with @SoPositiveDSR — Robin (@robinjagal) July 11, 2019

Ananya has previously found herself in the centre of media crossfire too when her former schoolmate made false claims that she had lied about having been accepted into universities. The back and forth of information that followed caused upheaval on social media and soon after that, Ananya decided to step up against the bullying and trolling she faced online and started an initiative called “So Positive”.
