Without any further extracts, Ananya declared two gorgeous legends of the television and the film industry.
Among the actors from across the border, she was keen on mentioning Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan.
Mahira Khan: A Source of Inspiration
Being asked about her favourite Pakistani actress, Ananya revealed that she has been a fan of Mahira Khan for a long time and praised her beauty, acting skills, and carriage.
Ananya confessed that Mahira is a strong lady and set an example for other young acting heroines, adding that her beauty can impress movie spectators with strong, powerful scenes.

Fawad Khan: The Epitome of Versatility
Deciding on male actors, Ananya stated that Fawad Khan was her favourite actor in Pakistan.
She complimented him about his multiple talents and handsome looks and said she likes him in Pakistani dramas, and in Indian movies like Kapoor & Sons & Khoobsurat.
Almost equally as important to her growing admiration for him was how easily Fawad was able to slip between various personas, from the romantic leading man to the more intense roles which required him to really get into character.
The Cross-Border Connection
When Ananya mentions these Pakistani stars, it proves that people have become accustomed to accepting talent from the other side even if there are issues politically between the two countries.
Mahira Khan, as well as Fawad Khan, have received much love, not only in their own country but also from Bollywood, which proves the fact that the talent of these two stars is welcomed internationally.
