Ananya Panday, who has made her debut today with Punit Malhotra's Student of the Year 2 alongside Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria, is best friends with two other stars kids -- Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan and Sanjay Kapoor's daughter Shanaya Kapoor. In an interview with a leading daily, Ananya revealed that the three girls were bitten by the acting bug in their childhood itself and shared that they would perform for their parents when they were younger.

Talking about it, Ananya said, "It has been our collective dream to become actors. I hope Suhana and Shanaya join the industry soon because they both are so talented. When we were young, during our family gatherings, we would put together shows and perform in front of our parents. Shah Rukh [Khan] sir would record us on a handycam, and we would make short films out of them."

Furthermore, she clarified that she landed the SOTY 2 role only after audition although she acknowledged that she is privileged to come from a filmi family. "I am aware of my privilege. But, at the same time, I am also aware that I auditioned for SOTY 2. So, I am not going to feel guilty that I got the film through my father's contacts. At the end of the day, the audience isn't stupid. I hope they like my work," added the 20-year old.

For the unversed, Suhana has already featured on a magazine cover while Shanaya is currently working as an assistant director on the Gunjan Saxena biopic titled Kargil Girl, starring her cousin Janhvi Kapoor. Meanwhile, Ananya has already landed her second film and she will next be seen in Pati Patni Aur Woh remake, co-starring Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar.
