She said that it has become a cycle where everyday someone is being boycotted or someone is being canceled. Ananya also weighed in on the North-South divide.
Talking about the cancel culture, Ananya Panday said, "I think it's like a cycle. Every day, someone is getting boycotted or everyone is being canceled. We are losing our track. I even asked someone whether I have been boycotted or am I still fine. I get to know new things every day. This is what I understood. You have to learn how to filter things. You should know what are the things to be taken seriously. I don't take them seriously.
The North-South divide has been a topic of discussion for a while now. Weighing on that, Ananya Panday said that she doesn't feel any difference in both the cultures. She said, "To be honest, I haven't found any difference. Every film and director are different from each other. I have felt this simple difference. At the same time, I see why there is so much confusion among people. Why are they creating so much difference between North and South? We have made an Indian film."
