The 26-year-old actress said that she gravitates more towards characters that are relatable.

"I gravitate towards characters that feel relatable but also have something a little different, whether it's in how they dress, speak, or see the world," said Ananya, who , who has hosted Airbnb's Original experience curated and led by the actress with her A-team, told IANS, when asked about the two films.

Looking forward, Ananya has a busy year as she's working on two films. She has "Chand Mera Dil" and 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri'.

"Chand Mera Dil", which was announced last year in November, is a passionate love story. The film is directed by Vivek Soni, who has previously made "Meenakshi Sundareshwar", starring Sanya Malhotra and Abhimanyu Dassani in 2021.

The upcoming film marks Kartik and Ananya's second on-screen collaboration after their 2019 release 'Pati Patni Aur Woh', a remake of the 1978 film of the same name, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Aparshakti Khurana.

Backed by Karan Johar in collaboration with Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora, 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' is likely to reach the cinema halls on February 13 next year. Kartik's untitled film with Anurag Basu will be released in Diwali 2025.

While I appreciate her perspective, I hope she actually brings this blend to her performances. Sometimes actors talk about depth but end up doing the same old Bollywood tropes. Prove it with your work, Ananya!

As someone who moved to India from the US, I completely relate to this. Indian cinema has such emotional richness while Western content offers different storytelling styles. The fusion is what makes contemporary Indian cinema so interesting!

Looking forward to her collaboration with Kartik Aaryan again! Their chemistry in Pati Patni Aur Woh was quite good. Hope the new film delivers something fresh like she's talking about.

It's true that our generation consumes content from everywhere. But the real test is creating original Indian stories that can stand globally, not just copying Western templates. Hope she chooses scripts that reflect our unique stories with universal appeal.

Good to see young actors thinking about character depth. Bollywood needs more relatable characters instead of the same old stereotypes. All the best for Chand Mera Dil! ❤️
