Ananya Panday Says She Wanted To Be A Doctor Or Teacher, Deepika Padukone And Siddhant Gasp In Shock

Ananya Panday, the daughter of Bollywood actor Chunky Panday and Bhavna Panday, comes from a family of doctors. For the uninitiated, Chunky's father, Sharad Panday, was a renowned Indian heart surgeon, and his mother, Snehlata Panday, was a respected practitioner. But did you know that Ananya, too, wanted to be a doctor, just like her grandparents?

Ananya Panday talks about her alternative career option

Ananya Panday, Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Dhairya Karwa sat for an interview during the promotional tour of their then-upcoming film, Gehraiyaan. In one such interactive session, the cast members were asked to name an alternative profession for Ananya if she was not an actor. To this, they all collectively agreed upon the profession of a social media influencer.

All this while, Ananya had to wear headphones with loud music on, and she could not hear the conversation. Then, she was asked the same question. Ananya revealed that she would have become either a doctor or a playschool teacher if not an actor. Her answer was not something her co-stars were expecting, and they all burst out laughing.

Netizens have a hilarious take on Ananya wanting to be a doctor

Just like her co-stars, netizens were also not expecting Ananya to have doctor and teacher as alternative career options. A user wrote, "Deepika's reaction is priceless." While another fan penned, "Medical field mein nepotism nahi chalta. Grandfather ya Great Grand father bi nahi bacha sakte if your IQ is in minus." A fan of her also defended her and said, "Just because the general public thinks that she is dumb doesn't mean that she is dumb and can't be a doctor."
