Bhavana Panday is the proud wife of Chunky Panday and mother of two beautiful daughters, Rysa and Ananya Panday. While Rysa is studying BFA in Film/Video and Photographic Arts at NYU, Ananya, on the other hand, has already made her name in B-Town. Still, as we all know, the limelight doesn’t come alone. While it brings the love of loyal fans, it also brings trolling from social media bullies. The Call Me Bae star, Ananya Panday is no stranger to the latter, and has openly discussed how she handles online trolls on various occasions. However, Ananya being scrutinized seems to have hit her mother even harder.

In a recent chat with Bharka Dutt on We The Women, Bhavana Pandey opened up about how her daughter’s trolling greatly affected her. She shared that the bullying impacted her to the point where she had to seek professional help. Bhavana further added that, at times, she would feel incapable of managing her own emotions, due to which she had to get therapy. She shared that she was in therapy for over a year and still goes for a session once in a while when she is unable to process things alone. She shared

“I was in therapy for about a year. Maybe a little longer than that. And I still take therapy off and on. When sometimes I find things I’m not able to handle on my own.”

Ananya Panday also spoke at the event and shared how online criticism took a toll on her confidence. She recalled that during her first year in the film industry, there were many false rumours about her circulating on the internet.
