The 2022 release 'Liger', starring Vijay Deverakonda in the lead, had Ananya Panday as the female lead. Thanks to Puri Jagannadh's narrow writing and narrower portrayal of his female lead, the Bollywood heroine scored a disaster in terms of her performance. Her annoying acting in the action entertainer was trolled at a pan-Indian level.
The Bollywood actress is finally seeing a ray of hope, thanks to Netflix’s Hindi-language release 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan'. Co-starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav, the film has brought forth the acting talent of Ananya, critics have opined.
"With a remarkable performance in 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan', Ananya has finally arrived, and how! The insecurities, the vulnerabilities, and every emotion are just spot on! Looking forward to her upcoming film with Vikramaditya Motwane now," a Bollywood cinephile handle opined. "Her performance in 'Gehraiyaan' (Amazon Prime Video release of 2022) was also good. Sometimes, I feel the public just under-appreciates any Nepo kid and tries to always find demerits," a movie buff wrote.
Others are saying that Ananya continues to be a mediocre performer. "The common trend with all Nepo products - after being horrible in many films, they will finally give one decent performance and that will get all the praise," a Twitter user opined.
