What Ananya said
During the chat, Ananya said, “The way we are exposed to things now, where you feel like everything is on your phone but there is so much more too… I don’t know how to label it. The situation is bad. Being young, from generation Z, the only thing I can do is use my voice for what is important. I feel like everyone needs to stand up for something, you don’t need to stand up for everything but you can stand up for something. That’s what I try to do. Personally, it’s very important for me to talk about women’s safety and the state of that in our country and I voice my opinion very often.”
Listen, I don’t think it’s right to say this.
She added: “Whenever I read a script, I have a red flag in my mind: ‘No Gen Z person talks like that. ’ That’s not okay. It’s my duty and responsibility as a woman to be that face and say that’s not okay. If I say that, people are going to think it’s okay. For example, in Liger, there were a lot of things that made me think, ‘Listen, I’m not okay saying that. As a woman, that’s not okay. ’ They actually made those changes and I’m very happy that I spoke up at the time.”
Liger was a sports action drama film written and directed by Puri Jagannadh. It marked Vijay’s debut in Bollywood. It was also Ananya’s first bilingual film. Vijay played the role of an MMA fighter in the film. The film failed to impress the audiences at the box office.
