On Long Distance Dating, Ananya Panday Admits That "Distance Does Make The Heart Grow Fonder"

Bollywood actor Ananya Panday had a wonderful 2024, both professionally and personally. Ananya Panday is reported to be dating a man named Walker Blanco, who isn't in the limelight. However, the star hasn't confirmed or denied the relationship. In an exclusive interview with Filmfare, the star opened up about dealing with a long-distance relationship and how she feels it is quite healthy. Ananya said, “I actually think it is quite healthy sometimes to have some space. I think 45 days of not meeting someone is good enough. I don't think it is too bad. Two months is okay. Actually, distance does make the heart grow fonder.”

Ananya also revealed how she called 100 times when her partner didn't respond after a fight. “I am very like, 'I need something to be spoken about in that moment. I understand that it's not okay, and I will never do that again. It must have happened once in my life, but I don't like leaving things for like 'let us calm down.' No, I need to say what I feel right now because I'll forget later. I don't believe in taking time off and then coming back and discussing. I believe even if my partner's emotional and they are angry with me, I'm okay if they let it out. I'd rather deal with it and get everything out than keep it inside because I'm that kind of person, so maybe those calls have happened to be like, 'figure it out rather than leave it for another day'.” 

She added how she is as a girlfriend, saying, “Over time, I have become more comfortable in who I am, and that has directly impacted my relationships. I had this thing of becoming who my partner is. Whatever their interests were, I would start liking those. If they wanted to do something, I would kind of not do what I wanted to do and go with them. I would spend less time with my friends. I would make a lot of changes in my own life even without them asking. I felt like it was something I had to do. In the past, I based a lot of my personality on who I was dating, and now I am comfortable with who I am. I am better at finding a sweet spot between two people who can be happy.”
