In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Ananya Panday opened up on the positive audience response for her last release for 2023 Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. The actress reflected on how the fact that the film was bringing comfort to people, even motivating them to make certain changes in their lives - was her biggest pay off from the project. 

She said, "It feels really good. It feels exciting, it feels motivating, and it feels like a release in some way because we give so much to the movies that we make...now it feels good because more than anything, the fact that people have related to it so much, they found comfort in the movie, they found things that they want to change in their lives because of a movie. When someone has a conversation because of a movie, I think that’s a good sign."

The actress also revealed how though a lot of work went into the making for Kho Gaye Hum Kahan which also included extensive workshops, during its release it still came across as a rather under-the-radar project. However, Ananya was immensely happy with the fact that the film's content and narrative came as a good surprise to people. 

She said, "More than two years now, since we all got cast, we were workshopping and filming. I was so excited for it. I would keep telling everyone that Kho Gaye Hum Kahan would be fun, but that’s going to be different. And people were not expecting anything from it, and it was the best thing- good to surprise people."
