Ananya Panday says she won’t compromise in a relationship now

Actress Ananya Panday, who, as reported, separated from actor Aditya Roy Kapur in March, revealed she wouldn't settle in a relationship now and shares her take on romance.

She was chatting with Raj Shamani for his podcast when the host asked her whether she had been in a relationship where she had compromised herself.

"We all have… I have seen around that people have been… I have been… I am sure where I have changed myself a lot but not to the point ki itna kuch bura hua hai. I have realised that yes maybe I have not been myself so this isn't the best situation for me," said Ananya.

The host asked what she changed about herself and in hindsight realized, to which she said: “My likes and dislikes. Like I will pretend to be that small as haan 'mujhe yeh movie dekhni hai (I want to watch these movies)' and I only do what my partner likes in terms of I'll only eat this kind of food, go to only these kind of places, I won't go out because my partner likes staying at home…

Ananya said she has done that.

"But now I wouldn't. Now I would want my partner to accept me as I am as I would accept my partner for whatever they are."

Talking about her idea of romance, she added: "Idea of romance for me is someone who listens to me…. Remembering small things and just listening… I don't always want solutions. Sometimes I want my partner to listen to me."

It was 2022, when tete-a-tete regarding the relationship of Ananya and Aditya was circulating around social media, with chatter about their dating affair that broke out when they were seen at Kriti Sanon's Diwali party. The two dating came as subtle hints during a Koffee With Karan episode with the two stars as guest: Ananya Panday along with Sara Ali Khan.

In the episode, Karan asked Sara about the one thing that Ananya has that she doesn't, to which, Sara hilariously had said: "Night Manager," hinting at the series starring Aditya Roy Kapur.
To which, a shy Ananya added: "I am feeling very Ananya Coy Kapur."
