Ananya Panday revealed that choosing celebrated designer Gauri Khan to style her new Mumbai home was driven by heartfelt sentiment. In an interview with NIF Global, recalling their long-standing bond, Ananya described Gauri as “almost been a second mother to me,” explaining, “Honestly, for me, it was a sentimental decision to have Gauri Khan do my house because I have grown up around her and she has almost been a second mother to me. She knew me, really me. She was like, if I was doing this for Suhana [Khan, her daughter], then I would have done something very similar.”

She further emphasized how Gauri balanced familiarity with respect. “What I liked about Gauri ma’am was that even though she had known me since I was a kid, she still took me seriously. She saw that this is my first house and I would want to do it in a way… so she never put too many of her opinions or decisions… she left it open to me. Everything was like a question or conversation… ‘Is this something you would like?’ ‘Do you want to try this?’ Interior design is such a personal thing… it is also someone’s home where they will be spending every single day. So understanding the person’s personality is very important.”
Expressing gratitude on Instagram, Ananya wrote: “My first home… my dream home…thank you @gaurikhan… no one could have understood exactly what I wanted better than you… and made it so so so special for me… you’re the best, love you!!!”
On the work front, Ananya will be seen in Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Kartik Aaryan and produced by Dharma Productions, is scheduled to hit theatres on February 13, 2026.
