Ananya Panday praises mom-to-be Deepika Padukone's work ethic on 'Gehraiyaan' set: 'She was there like a student'

Ananya Panday heaped praise on her 'Gehraiyaan' co-star, Deepika Padukone, highlighting her remarkable work ethic and commitment. Reflecting on their time together on the sets of the critically acclaimed film, Ananya described working with Deepika as an overwhelming and inspirational experience.

Talking to The Week, Ananya shared that one of the most significant lessons she learned from Deepika was the importance of dedication and professionalism. Despite her superstar status and being a mom-to-be, Deepika's unwavering commitment to her craft left a lasting impression on Ananya. She noted how Deepika attended every single workshop for Gehraiyaan, diligently participating like a student, always with her notebook in hand.

This level of dedication, Ananya remarked, is something not commonly expected from an actor of Deepika's stature, yet she approached every rehearsal with the same level of seriousness and focus. Ananya emphasized how this experience taught her the value of prioritizing oneself on a film set to deliver the best performance.

Ananya was particularly struck by Deepika's ability to ask for what she needed to perfect her scenes. She recalled how Deepika would request a brief moment of silence before a take to ensure she could deliver her best performance. This act of self-care and professionalism was a profound lesson for Ananya, who now holds this approach close to her heart.

Ananya will soon mark her OTT debut with Call Me Bae.
