Ananya Pandey affected by trolls

Bollywood beauty Ananya Pandey has been subjected to trolls on social media. It is known that Ananya Pandey romanced Rowdy Star Vijay Devarakonda on his Bollywood debut film Liger. The film directed by Puri Jagannath turned out to be a disaster at the box office.

Seeking Therapy

Now speaking to scribes, Ananya Pandey spoke about the trolls and the affect on her. Ananya shared that to come out of the trolls she underwent therapy. She said “I have done therapy in the past, I am not as regular now. I could not articulate my emotions. I used to just feel very, very down. The thing, I sometimes feel with mental health and social media, is that you may read something in the moment and you may not realise that it is affecting you, because you think 'I am fine right now, I am having a good day, I am in the car, I am busy'. I will read a comment and I will ignore it. But weeks later, it could still be there in your subconscious somewhere and things that like really pile up. With therapy, I was just able to consolidate my feelings and articulate my thoughts a little better.”

Staying Resilient

Recollecting her experiences,she said “Honestly, a lot has been said about me, so I can't really choose one moment... sometimes when I can't control a narrative that makes me upset. For instance, when I started out, in my first year (in films), someone made a fake account on Instagram, and they started writing they were in school with me and said I lied about my education and getting into college. First, I was like, 'No one is going to believe that'. But people did believe it... somedays, I definitely don't want to be on social media... when I was in school, I had been called everything from hunchback to flat chest to chicken leg and hairy. But we were in a bubble, and now, because of social media, the smallest of voices can be amplified across the world, and this is definitely a scary time.”
