Ananya was also quizzed about Vijay's film Arjun Reddy which is still considered to be a controversial flick for its misogynistic theme and if she had a discussion with him on the same. To which she replied, "No, I haven’t, I thought he acted very well. Besides, portraying a certain character doesn’t mean you are that person in real life. Vijay is kind, smart, well-spoken and knows how to hold a conversation."
