Their friendship has blossomed over the years, particularly through their close connection with Suhana Khan, SRK's daughter, who also commented on Ananya's post, expressing her affection with emojis.

In her Instagram post, Ananya referred to Shah Rukh as "KING/bestie," showcasing their bond. She dazzled in a stunning outfit by Faraz Manan, featuring a golden embellished halter-neck blouse paired with a satin saree skirt and a cape, complemented by delicate diamond jewelry.

During the IIFA Utsavam Awards green carpet, Ananya expressed her excitement about watching SRK host the event, saying, "He is my absolute favorite. I have grown up watching him and used to record his shows."

In a recent interview, Ananya reflected on her friends Suhana and Shanaya Kapoor, noting that they seem better prepared for their debut compared to her experience, saying, "Everyone's journey is so different… I'm happy with when I started."

On the professional front, Ananya was last seen in the drama Call Me Bae and will appear in the Netflix thriller CTRL, set to release on October 4.
