Ananya Panday’s Striking Couture for The Nod Magazine Shoot

Bollywood actress Ananya Panday recently appeared in a picshoot for The Nod Magazine. She looked glamorous in couture looks while opening up about her thoughts on films, work, and her future choices.

In her conversation with Sheya Kurian, Ananya shared that she doesn’t want to take up a film just because she has free time. She explained, “My dad’s generation had to work differently. They had to do two or three shifts a day, sometimes only because they had a personal connection with someone. But now, I feel I can wait for the right project.” This shows how Ananya wants to choose her films carefully, focusing on quality over quantity.

For this special feature, a big creative team worked together. Megha Mahindru and Ridhima Sapre led the editorial direction. The beautiful photography was done by Ashish Shah, while the video direction was handled by Gorkey Patwal. Fashion and creative direction came from Priyanka Kapadia, and visual and creative direction from Jay Modi. Art direction was done by Harry Aiyer, while Niks Moses worked as the bookings editor.

The style lead was Nahedee, with Mehak Jindal as the multimedia designer. Makeup was done by Deepa Verma, and hair styling by Hot Hair Balloon. The DOP was N Sainil. Photo assistance came from Anish Oommen, and style assistance from Kashish Jain. Production was managed by IKP Insta, Imran Khatri, Radhika Chemburkar, and Hrithik Patel. Artist management was done by Nautanki Chaiti, while PR was handled by Hypenq PR.

Ananya Panday also recently made headlines for her new home in Mumbai. The interiors were designed by Gauri Khan, whom Ananya lovingly calls her “second mother.” She said it was a sentimental decision, as Gauri has known her since childhood. The actress praised Gauri for understanding her taste and making her dream home truly special.

On the work front, Ananya will next be seen with Kartik Aaryan in Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, directed by Sameer Vidwans, releasing on February 13, 2026.
