‘Not me': Siddhant Chaturvedi refuses to take credit for Ananya Panday's success, calls her ‘very talented'
Siddhant Chaturvedi has reacted to being praised for Ananya Panday's growth as an actress. Director Anurag Kashyap earlier said her improvement was linked to Siddhant's viral comment on the struggle. However, Siddhant disagrees, 'I don't think it's my contribution.' The Dhadak 2 actor believes success comes from personal effort, not from others. According to him, Ananya always had the talent. "Independently, she is a very strong girl, very, very talented and a nice person to be with. I have done two films with her and I look forward to doing more. I don't think your growth happens because of anyone,' Siddhant Chaturvedi told ETimes. 'Either you are an actor, or you are not. She was always an actress. It's just that she got those opportunities and she excelled. Whenever we have collaborated, it has worked. I think we are each other's lucky charm." In 2019, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday appeared together in a roundtable interview. They spoke about nepotism in Bollywood. Ananya, a star kid, said she too faced struggles. She shared that her father was never invited to Koffee with Karan. Siddhant replied, 'Their struggle begins where our dreams come true.' This one line went viral. Many praised Siddhant for his honesty. Others felt he was rude. Ananya was trolled for not understanding the benefits of her privilege. Despite the viral moment, they stayed friendly. Later, Siddhant said he meant no harm. Ananya said she never meant to ignore others' pain. Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday acted together in Gehraiyaan and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. Anurag Kashyap has often praised Ananya Panday as an actress. He calls her his 'favourite nepo kid' along with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Ayan Mukerji. Recently, Kashyap said Ananya had changed after the 2019 interview with Siddhant Chaturvedi. 'I think she took it very personally. I think something happened, altered inside her, because something about her changed after that,' the maverick filmmaker told The Juggernaut.

Siddhant Chaturvedi calls Ananya Panday talented, refuses to take credit for her success: ‘She was always an actress'
Back in 2020 during a roundtable discussion, actor Siddhant Chaturvedi made a statement which soon went viral. It was regarding Ananya Panday's 'struggle' comment. Ananya claimed that her father Chunky Panday never went on Karan Johar's show, nor was he ever in a Dharma film, explaining that it isn't as easy as people think for her as a star kid. Siddhant had a cheeky response to this. He replied, 'Jahaan humare sapne poore hote hain, wahi inka struggle shuru hota hai (Their struggles begin where our dreams come true).' In a recent interview, Anurag Kashyap praised Ananya's growth as an actor and opined that it was a result of her taking Siddhant's comment personally. But Siddhant begs to differ. Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday In a recent chat with ETimes, on a promotional spree for his next film Dhadak 2, Siddhant Chaturvedi shared, 'I don't think it's my contribution. Independently, she is a very strong girl, very, very talented, and a nice person to be with. I have done two films with her and I look forward to doing more. I don't think your growth happens because of anyone. Either you are an actor, or you are not. She was always an actress. It's just that she got those opportunities and she excelled. Whenever we have collaborated, it has worked. I think we are each other's lucky charm.' In 2022, Siddhant and Ananya came together for Shakun Batra's film Gehraiyaan, also starring Deepika Padukone. A year later, they starred together in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023), which fans and critics thought was one of the most versatile performances delivered by Ananya yet. Up next, Siddhant will share the screen with Triptii Dimri for the first time ever in Dhadak 2. A spiritual sequel to Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor's 2018 film Dhadak, Siddhant and Triptii's romantic drama is an official remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018).

Siddhant Chaturvedi Says 'Ananya Panday Was Always An Actress' After Anurag Kashyap's Remark On Her Growth
Siddhant Chaturvedi says Ananya Panday's growth had nothing to do with his 'struggle' comment. Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi has broken his silence on filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's recent remark suggesting that actress Ananya Panday matured as a performer following the much-discussed 2020 'struggle" comment that reignited the nepotism debate. In an interview with ETimes, Siddhant downplayed any personal credit for Ananya's evolution, emphasizing her own talent and perseverance. 'I don't think it's my contribution. Independently, she is a very strong girl, very, very talented, and a nice person to be with," he said. The two actors have previously shared screen space in Gehraiyaan and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, both of which sparked conversations around their chemistry and onscreen compatibility. Reflecting on their collaborations, Siddhant said, 'I have done two films with her and I look forward to doing more. I don't think your growth happens because of anyone. Either you are an actor, or you are not. She was always an actress. It's just that she got those opportunities and she excelled." He added warmly, 'Whenever we have collaborated, it has worked. I think we are each other's lucky charm." Siddhant's response comes after Kashyap recently observed that Ananya had displayed remarkable growth and self-awareness post the backlash from the 2020 roundtable discussion, where Siddhant's pointed remark had gone viral: 'Jahaan humare sapne poore hote hain, wahi inka struggle shuru hota hai" (Their struggles begin where our dreams come true). The comment, aimed at the privilege gap between outsiders and star kids in the industry, became a defining moment in the ongoing nepotism discourse in Bollywood. Meanwhile, Siddhant is gearing up for the release of Dhadak 2, the much-anticipated follow-up to the 2018 romantic drama Dhadak. Directed by Shazia Iqbal and backed by Dharma Productions, the sequel stars Siddhant alongside Animal breakout star Triptii Dimri. Unlike the first film, which was an adaptation of Sairat, Dhadak 2 promises a fresh storyline rooted in a different socio-political backdrop, exploring themes of love, class divide, and rebellion. Dhadak 2 is slated to hit theatres on August 1. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
