Ananya Panday reveals she wouldn’t talk to Ayushmann Khurrana when he came dressed as Pooja on Dream Girl 2 sets: ‘She was completely jealous’
In a recent interview, Ananya Panday shared she was jealous of Ayushmann Khurrana's character Pooja in Dream Girl 2. The film is set to hit theatres on August 25.

After talking in a woman’s voice in his 2019 super hit film Dream Girl, Ayushmann Khurrana shocked everyone with his get-up as a woman in the upcoming sequel of the film, Dream Girl 2. Ayushmann’s flawless transformation into Pooja in the movie is bound to leave many in awe, including his co-star Ananya Panday, who recently admitted to feeling a tinge of envy over the adoration that Pooja has been garnering.
During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, when Ananya was playfully questioned about any insecurities she might have felt in comparison to Pooja, she quipped, “Apko nahi lagta ki mein pretty aur hot nahi hu?” Ayushmann intervened and said, “Inspiration came from Ananya, Pooja wanted to touch the benchmark of Ananya Panday’s look.” To which, Ananya replied, “She has touched and gone beyond it.”
Referring to Ayushmann’s character Pooja, Ananya quipped, “Pooja and I had a lot of cat fights on the set. I would only talk to Ayushmann when he came to the set as Karam. When he was Pooja, I would not look at him or talk to him. Because even during promotions, they would be like, ‘The lovely, the beautiful, the stunning Ayushmann Khurrana aur haan Ananya Panday.’ I have never heard a guy being praised like this.” Ayushmann responded with a pun and said, “She was completely jealous, inke mom ka naam Bhavana hai, inke andar bahut jalan ki bhavna hai.”
In Dream Girl 2, Ayushmann takes his portrayal a step further, not only capturing a woman’s voice but also sporting feminine attire. The film, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, also stars Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Seema Pahwa, Manjot Singh, Annu Kapoor and Abhishek Banerjee in pivotal roles. It is set to hit theatres on August 25.
