Early life

Panday was born to actor Chunky Pandey on 30 October 1998.[1][2][3] She graduated from Dhirubhai Ambani International School in 2017.[4] She participated in Vanity Fair's Le Bal des débutantes event in Paris in 2017.[5][6]

Acting career

Panday made her acting debut in 2019 with the teen film Student of the Year 2, co-starring Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria, which was produced by Dharma Productions.[7] Writing for Scroll.in, Nandini Ramnath felt that Panday showed potential in an unremarkable film.[8] The film underperformed at the box office.[9] Panday next starred in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), a remake of the 1978 film of the same name, alongside Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar. She played a secretary who indulges in an affair with a married man, which was portrayed by Ranjeeta Kaur in the original.[10] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV wrote that "Panday is perfectly cast as the wide-eyed girl who sweeps the hero off his feet but holds her own ground".[11] With a worldwide gross of ₹1.15 billion (US$16 million), it emerged as a commercial success.[12][13] Panday won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her performance in Student of the Year 2.[14]

Panday will next star in the action film Khaali Peeli, co-starring Ishaan Khatter, and in Shakun Batra's as-yet untitled romantic drama, alongside Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi.[15][16] She will also team with Vijay Deverakonda for Puri Jagannadh's as-yet untitled multilingual film.[17]
