The 61-year-old actor stated that he is fine with it and doesn’t feel the need to interfere. Quoted by Bollywood Shaadis, he shared, “I mean it’s fine. I mean, she is 25. She is earning more money than I am right now. So she is free to do what she wants to. How dare I tell her, my 25-year-old daughter, that you have a boyfriend? I mean I can understand, if she was 14 years old or something, I could interfere but no, no.” ALSO READ: Alanna Panday Baby Shower: Cousin Ananya Panday, Bipasha With Daughter Devi And Other Celebs Show Up On The Grand Occasion

In the same interview, he went on to recall that one of his proudest moments was when Ananya bagged her first film. Despite the makers finding her a little young, she went for the audition and bagged the role. He further explained, “She also got into New York and LA colleges, there was pressure on family. I kept her college admission for 6 months, I paid some $500 dollars and kept it, because who knows, it might not have worked out. So that was a proud moment, she got that film on her own.”

On the work front, Ananya Panday was last seen in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, co-starring Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav. Directed by debutant Arjun Varain Singh, the movie follows the journey of Imaad, Ahana, and Neil as they navigate through life, their relationships, and social media. The movie is currently streaming on Netflix. She has Call Me Bae in her pipeline.
