Ananya Panday on safety concerns after the Tiger Shroff attack

Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Ananya Panday talked about her career and the state of Bollywood today. The recent attack on Tiger Shroff came up when she was asked whether heightened security fears for actors had affected her.She said, “It is very scary and extremely unfortunate. I think it will make people a little less relaxed about safety measures for everyone involved because it is not just about the actor’s safety, but when there is a huge crowd, it is about the crowd as well."

Ananya Panday hopes the bond with fans stays intact

The actor also shared that meeting people who love her films is the most satisfying part of her work. She added, "In general, it will be for creating a safer environment because for me it will be so sad if I do not get to interact with the people who watched our films. That is the most rewarding thing as an actor when someone comes up and tells you that they saw something in themselves with the character that you played. So, I am hopeful, and I do not want that connection between actors and audience to go away.

But I think safety for everyone is important, and not just actors."
