Actress
Ananya
Panday
is
not
bothered
about
the
negative
reviews
that
her
latest
release
Gehriayaan
received
from
a
section
of
netizens
and
critics.
She
feels
that
the
film
was
supposed
to
start
a
debate/conversation
hence,
she
is
okay
with
people’s
positive
and
negative
reactions.
Ananya
told
ETimes,
“We
always
said
this
is
an
honest
film
about
real
complex
relationships.
We
were
completely
open
to
opinions
and
discussions
because
that
is
what
art
is
right?
It
is
subjective.
Everyone
is
meant
to
have
an
opinion.
As
long
as
it
affects
people
and
invokes
some
sort
of
emotion
in
them
(it’s
okay).”
She
further
added
that
she
is
overwhelmed
with
all
the
love
and
the
relatability
that
people
felt
with
Gehraiyaan.
She
further
said
that
some
people
watched
the
film
and
felt
a
certain
way,
they
slept
and
woke
up
and
the
film
stayed
with
them.
So,
she
does
not
think
she
could
have
asked
for
anything
better.
During
the
same
conversation,
when
Ananya
was
asked
if
she
is
keen
to
do
more
darker
roles,
she
said,
“Definitely.
I
know
that
I
don’t
want
to
tie
myself
into
any
box
because
I
have
also
grown
up
watching
those
typical
Bollywood
‘masala’
entertainers,
romantic
comedies,
so
I
want
to
do
a
little
bit
of
everything.”
She
went
on
to
add
that
Gehraiyaan
has
helped
her
in
believing
in
herself
a
little
bit
more
and
reassured
her
that
people
do
want
to
watch
the
complex
and
dark
realities
of
life.
