The actor revealed that one piece of advice her father gave to her was to do "massy" films. Ananya revealed how Chunky Panday has always loved being a part of such a cinema or has loved watching it as an audience which is why he wants her to get a taste of it. Ananya Panday said, "My dad, always since I started, when I discussed about movies with mom, he used to say, 'You have to do a massy film. You have to do a massy film' because that's his brand of cinema that he has loved being a part of and loved watching as an audience." She added, "So that's why he wants me to get a taste of that and be a part of a film that is loved by so many people and that causes so much happiness and goes down through the years."

Ananya Panday also mentioned how she loves to watch her father's film Aankhen as she loves its concept. When she told her father about Liger, Ananya revealed that he asked her to be a part of the film. She added, "So he is the happiest person and is on cloud 9."
