The Gen Z queen, Ananya Panday, just got a major stamp of approval from Karan Johar. It’s giving us all the feels. Remember the iconic moments from K3G? The sass, glamour, and unforgettable characters? KJo just dropped a bombshell. If Hrithik Roshan’s Rohan and Kareena Kapoor’s Pooja had a baby girl, she’d be Ananya’s character in Call Me Bae.
Karan Johar’s take on ananya panday and her character from ‘call me bae’
KJo’s got a whole new nickname for Ananya’s character: the ultimate Gen Z 2.0 version of Poo! In his own words, he dished out that Ananya’s character is like the baby Poo never had—only this time, she’s got a modern twist. We’re talking about all the Poo vibes but with an extra dash of 2024 realness. Karan spilled the tea saying, “I think if I had to say I would say that it’s been 23 years to Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. So I think if Rohan Raichand and Pooja Raichand had a baby girl, she would be ‘Bae’. I am talking about those characters, not referring to anyone’s age at the moment. I am telling this because Bae really is a GenZ 2.0 derivative of Poo.”
KJo went on to say, “So she is really like when Poo ends Bae takes off. That’s the best way I can describe it. Because even when you saw the character of Poo, it started with all fun and games and then of course she contributes to the emotional gravitas. Similarly, while you look at this show and have an outer perspective that it’s fun, cool and fashionable, but its saying a lot.“
