New Delhi: Bhavana Pandey has quashed rumours about her daughter-actor Ananya Panday's relationship status. Bhavana Pandey revealed in an interaction with a publication that her daughter is single. Ever since the 'Koffee With Karan S7' episode with Vijay Deverakonda, Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur's dating rumours have been in the air. The two have also been spotted hanging out together at many industry events. Off late, the two were also showstoppers for designer Manish Malhotra at the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week in March.


In an interaction with ETimes, Bhavana Pandey spoke about Ananya Panday and said, "The fact is that Ananya is single and link-ups happen in a profession like this. It's okay. It's like that's a part and parcel of an actor's life, and you have to take everything in, good or bad. I feel like they get so much love and adulation, so I'd rather genuinely focus on that than the negativity that comes with it, because the positives definitely outweigh the negative.”


Bhavana Pandey also shared the guidance she gives to Ananya who is navigating her way through the industry. "My advice to her was to not be too hard on yourself and give it your best. And then of course, you know, there's so many other factors. I told her to be a good person, to be kind and respectful. I also told her that whether you are at your highest of highs or lowest of lows, keep your feet firmly on the ground. As for professional advice, I don't think it is my place because I've not been an actor. So I could only give her advice in terms of being a good human being," she said in the same interaction.


Meanwhile, Ananya Panday was last seen in the sports drama 'Liger co-starring Vijay Devarakonda. She will also be seen in 'Dream Girl 2', 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan' and an untitled project with director Vikram Motwane. The actor is also headlining a Prime Video series 'Call Me Bae'.


Bhavana Pandey, on the other hand, was last seen in 'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives' with her friends Neelam Kothari Soni, Maheep Kapoor and Seema Sajdeh.
