Ananya, while addressing the media at the trailer launch of Dream Girl 2, was asked about the 14-year age gap with her co-star. In response, she expressed that she doesn’t consider it to be an issue because age gaps have always been present in movies. Ananya believes that people should focus on the characters and the story rather than fixating on the age difference. If viewers start thinking too much about the age gap, it can become problematic. According to her, as long as two individuals suit their respective characters well, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Ananya shared her experience of working with Ayushmann, expressing how impressed she was by his energetic dance moves. She mentioned that she had a fantastic time shooting with Ayushmann but particularly enjoyed working alongside his character ‘Pooja’. Ananya emphasized that she didn’t provide Ayushmann with any suggestions regarding how to portray a female character, but instead, she learned from observing him. She was amazed by Ayushmann’s performance and tried to imitate his latkas and jhatkas (dance moves).
