Mumbai, Aug 20 (IANS) – Bollywood actress Ananya Panday says mental wellness is the foundation of her life, shaping not just her routine but also how she presents herself to the world.
When asked what defines her personal philosophy the most—fitness, fashion, or mental health—Ananya told IANS: “Mental health, 100 percent. You can look amazing on the outside, but if you’re not okay on the inside, none of it matters.”
She shared that over the years, she has learned the importance of self-care. “Taking time for yourself—whether it’s therapy, journaling, going for a walk, or disconnecting from social media—is so important.”
For Ananya, fashion too is a form of therapy and creative expression. “I spend so much time in my closet, putting looks together, experimenting with new combinations, and just enjoying the process. Dressing up makes me feel confident and completely myself.”
The Kho Gaye Hum Kahan actress added, “Fashion and fitness are part of my routine, but mental wellness is what ties it all together. When I feel good mentally, I show up better—in my work, in my style, and in the way I carry myself.”
Speaking about hosting Airbnb’s Original Experience, Ananya revealed that it revolves around fashion and glam, curated by her and her “amazing A-team.”
“It feels like a dream come true for anyone who loves style and self-expression. The experience takes place at a stunning Airbnb in Delhi, reimagined as my personal fashion studio for the day. Guests will get to see the looks I love, how I prepare for shoots, and what fashion means to me,” she said.
The interactive session includes styling tips from her stylist Ami Patel, glam sessions with hair and makeup experts Aanchal Morwani and Riddhima Khubchandani, followed by a professional photoshoot with Ananya and photographer Rahul Jhangiani.
On the work front, the actress will next be seen in Chand Mera Dil and Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.
