Ananya most recently starred in Arjun Varain Singh’s directorial Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, which released on Netflix last year. The film also featured Siddhant Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav in the lead, and Ananya was praised by critics for her portrayal of a marketing executive struggling to get over her relationship. The actor will next star in the Prime Video series Call Me Bae, created by Ishita Moitra and written by Samina Motlekar and Rohit Nair.
