How did Ananya Panday get the nickname ‘ACP’ 

Ananya Panday recalls that she was attending the Mumbai Police show Umang where she was christened with this fun abbreviation. She says, “I think I want to give them props for how creative they are. So, the police show was happening and I went and I was posing for the paps and they started calling me ACP for Ananya Chunky Pandey. But now it is stuck. So, like I don’t know I keep telling them to call me different things but they always go back to it.”
