Ananya Panday won hearts with her debut in Student of the Year 2. Here are more details about the star. 

Ananya did her schooling from Dhirubhai Ambani International School and got through the University of Southern California but couldn’t pursue her education there due to her shooting schedules. Panday had not long ago silenced those who doubted her acceptance on social media, and was supported by her squad. Her girl gang consists of her best friend Shanaya Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan. She is also often seen hanging out with her cousins Ahaan Panday and Alana Panday.
