For Ananya Panday, who is currently awaiting the release of her latest film CTRL, success is having a balance between her professional and personal life. She derived this meaning of success from observing none other than Shah Rukh Khan while growing up.
In a recent interview, Ananya spoke about the influence that King Khan has had on her. Recalling her growing up years, the young star shared, "Seeing Shah Rukh Khan, that was what I was like, okay, this is what it is like to be an actor stand in front of your house and millions of people just come and wait for you, but he is rare, and he is one of a kind."

She further told Humans Of Bombay, "If I actually speak about just him, I think what actually stayed with me is the success which is being balanced between your career and your family. If you take Shah Rukh Sir for example he has been amazing with that. No matter how big he is as a star, he is always home with his kids and taking care of them, not just his kids but us also. He has been around so much growing up. And that's what I always saw success as."
Ananya, the daughter of Chunky Panday, shares a special bond with Suhana Khan, SRK's daughter. The two families have always been close.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ananya was recently seen in Amazon Prime Video's Call Me Bae, which earned her praise. She is now gearing up for Netflix's CTRL, which arrives October 4.
