Ananya Panday is gradually opening up about her personal life, giving sneak peeks into her relationships and lessons she has learned from past experiences. The actress is currently basking in the success of her latest work in the Netflix thriller film, CTRL. Recently, Ananya shared some insights from her journey to self-discovery, compromises she’s made in past relationships, and her current stance when it comes to love.
Ananya Panday reflects on making compromises in relationships
Recently, Ananya Panday sat for a candid chat with Raj Shamani on his podcast, sharing her self-realisation and growth in terms of love and relationships. The actress, who’s kept her past relationships under wraps, opened up about the idea of compromises in relationships. Reflecting on her past relationships, she admitted to having changed parts of herself to align with her partner’s preferences, but now she’s a different person. The actress revealed:
“You do things to impress in the beginning of a relationship and you don’t realise how much you are changing for your partner… We all have a little bit. I have been in a relationship where I have changed myself a lot, but not to the point that it turned bad… I would pretend, like, ‘I want to watch this movie,’ but I would do whatever my partner liked – eat the food they liked, go to the places they preferred. But now, I wouldn’t. Now I would want my partner to accept me as I am, just like I’d accept them for who they are.”
Talking about her perspective on romance, Ananya shared that romance does not come from grand gestures, but from small things, like listening without offering solutions, remembering small things, and supporting them in success. The Dream Girl 2 star also stressed the importance of loyalty and respect in a healthy relationship. Sharing her take on finding red flags in relationships, Ananya explained:
“I don’t think you see a red flag in a relationship immediately. When you are out of a relationship, at that time you realise that it could have been done better. If I am in a relationship, I will do everything to figure it out and sort it out. I see the best in people and do my best and give it my all in a relationship but I expect that from my partner also. For me, half-heartedness doesn’t work. If you are in a relationship, you have to show loyalty and respect.”
‘Red flags’ in a relationship, according to Ananya Panday
As an actor who has observed self-growth, Ananya has some insights into aspects that should not be tolerated in a healthy relationship, aka, red flags. The actress did not hold back when she was asked to point out some red flags in a relationship. Ananya shared:
“Gaslighting is one. Manipulation, if they have done something wrong. Another is disloyalty—not just the big thing, but smaller things, like not acknowledging their partner in public and disrespecting them. Another red flag would be ego, like not being able to see your partner succeed.”
