Ananya Panday is in the spotlight as she gears up for the release of her upcoming film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. Recently, in an interview with Brut., the actress spoke honestly about fitness, body image, and the pressure of looking a certain way on screen, especially in the age of social media.

Talking about the buzz around her fit appearance in the film, Ananya shared that achieving that “swimsuit body” required discipline and consistency. She clarified that such a physique does not come naturally for most people and involves hard work behind the scenes.

According to the actress, she followed a very controlled diet and exercised every single day to prepare for the role. While she appreciated the compliments, she made it clear that the transformation was the result of effort, not genetics. She also admitted that she feels relieved now that the shoot is over and she no longer has to restrict herself, happily enjoying her favourite foods again.

Ananya has often spoken about body positivity, and during the interview, she once again highlighted the importance of self-acceptance. She said that confidence should not depend on size or shape, especially for women who experience frequent physical changes.

She explained that monthly hormonal changes, bloating, and discomfort are a normal part of life. During such times, she prefers wearing relaxed clothing and listening to her body. The actress also shared that she avoids heavily editing her photos and prefers to be honest about how she feels.

Despite being seen as fitting conventional beauty standards, Ananya revealed that she has struggled with insecurities since childhood. She recalled being teased in school with hurtful comments about her body, words that still stay with her years later.

Reflecting on this, she said those experiences show how deeply remarks about appearance can affect someone, even long after they are spoken.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Ananya Panday and Kartik Aaryan, is set to release in theatres on December 25, 2025.
