Come tomorrow, Ananya Panday will realise her long-cherished dream of seeing herself on the big screen. The star kid's film debut with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year 2 (SOTY 2) holds sentimental value — she says that her girl gang, including besties Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor, would often share notes on their Bollywood aspirations.
"It has been our collective dream to become actors. I hope Suhana and Shanaya join the industry soon because they both are so talented. When we were young, during our family gatherings, we would put together shows and perform in front of our parents. Shah Rukh [Khan] sir would record us on a handycam, and we would make short films out of them," reminisces the actor, 20, who has now graduated to bound scripts and big-budget films.
