Ananya Pandey who is soon going to make her Bollywood debut in the second instalment of KJo's franchise 'Student of the year 2' admitted that she had a crush on Kartik Aryan. She will play a college girl co-starring with Tara Sutaria and Tiger Shroff, who will be seen as kabaddi player in the film. The young actress is hardly coy about her feelings for Kartik. In a recent interview, she spilled the beans about many things, including her crush on actor Kartik Aaryan, nepotism charges and working with Tiger Shroff in 'Student of the Year 2.'
“I find Kartik cute and I am open about my feeling”, she said. “I’m 20 and it’s normal to have a crush on someone. I’m open about my feelings. Yes, I find Kartik cute and I’m lucky I’ve got a chance to work with him,” she added. Incidentally, Sara Ali Khan too confessed about her a crush on the 'Pyar Ka Punchnama' actor on 'Koffee With Karan 6.'
Ananya is well aware about the privileges she has being a star kid. However, she refused to have any guilt about being one. She sportingly accepted the fact of being a star kid and said “That’s half the battle won. If you’re not talented, people won’t invest in you. But at the same time, I don’t want to be silly and give up an opportunity like this because people are bashing me for being someone’s daughter. If they don’t like me in the film, I’ll accept that, but at least watch the film.” she added.
Talking about her first meeting with Tiger, she recalled saying, “Many say Tiger is shy but around me he never was. I met him when I was 16, his first film 'Heropanti' had just released. Mom sent me across to ask him for advice. As I walked in, I saw him execute the perfect full split. He then went on to tell me that if I wanted to be an actress, I couldn’t eat ice cream anymore and I’d have to wake up at 4 am to train. It was scary!” Ananya will seen next in Kartik and Bhumi Pednekar starrer 'Pati, Patni Aur Woh' after 'Student of the Year 2.'
