Ananya Panday on playing 'the other woman' in Pati, Patni Aur Woh: It doesn't mean I'm endorsing extramarital affairs
FirstpostAfter making her long-awaited debut with Punit Malhotra’s campus caper Student of the Year 2 earlier this year, 21-year-old Ananya Panday will now be seen as ’the other woman’ in Mudassar Aziz’s romantic comedy Pati, Patni Aur Woh, the Hindi remake of BR Chopra’s original of the same name from 1978. These days, the ‘woh’ in a relationship can be anything from the mobile phone to work life, anything that creates a rift between the married couple.” She also adds her character has been done up in modern colours as the original ‘other woman’, played by Ranjeeta Kaur, was rather gullible and simple-minded. I aspire to do the same.” She reveals her path to breathe life into various characters is already shaping up with her next film, Maqbool Khan’s romantic comedy Khaali Peeli opposite Ishaan Khatter. So I’m glad I’m taking his legacy forward by doing a comedy like Pati, Patni Aur Woh,” says Ananya, signing off.
