Set to play a "slightly older character" in Kartik Aaryan-starrer Pati Patni Aur Woh, Ananya Panday is currently on a weight-gaining spree. Required to pack on five kilos before the film rolls in Lucknow later this month, the actor has altered her fitness routine and diet under the watchful gaze of Pilates trainer Yasmin Karachiwala.

"Mine is a different kind of struggle because it's tough to gain weight. I'm eating every two hours. The idea is to up the protein content. You want to gain the right kind of weight, so it's not about eating anything as you wish," says the actor. Her prep for the remake aside, Panday currently has her hands full with So Positive, a recently launched campaign that aims to start a discussion around cyberbullying. While she credits father Chunkey Pandey for helping her develop a thick skin, she points out that not everyone is emotionally equipped to take trolls and their baseless criticism head-on.
