"I wouldn’t say there is a rivalry, but it’s always good to have that competitive spirit. Whenever Sara, Janhvi and I meet each other, it’s extremely normal. Sara was in school with me and I have known Janhvi my entire life. We all are friends and working in the industry together. Everyone is doing so well in their respective spaces and there is work for everyone. I think it’s good to have that competitive spirit in general," she was quoted by a leading publication.

Ananya is also close friends with Sanjay Kapur's daughter Shanaya, who is all set to make her Bollywood debut next year and Suhana Khan too. The three are referred to as 'Charlie's Angels' in Bollywood. In an interview Ananya was quoted saying, "Hopefully, the three of us (Shanaya, Suhana and Ananya) can do something together. That will be my dream come true."
