Dancing Through Life's Challenges

Meet Ananya S Rao, the dynamic force in the entertainment world. From gracing the stage with her graceful Bharatanatyam performances to captivating audiences as a social media sensation with her sister Apoorva S. Rao and making waves in reality television like Bigg Boss and In Real Love, Ananya’s journey is as diverse as it is inspiring and challenging. In this exclusive interview, the multifaceted artist shares her experiences, challenges, and aspirations, offering a glimpse into her life.

1. Your journey as a social media influencer has inspired many. Could you share some key moments or challenges you faced that shaped your path, especially in the realm of social media and online influence?

The first thing I’d like to clarify is that I’m not an influencer. I’d probably call myself an entertainer. I dance with my twin sister. I wouldn’t say that the journey was as difficult as that, to be honest. I’d be lying to myself if I said that. It all depends on that one reel/ post that goes viral. And there you have it.

2 . Participating in Big Boss must have been a unique experience. How was the experience, and what were the most significant lessons you took away from the show?

Yes, Bigg Boss was a very big step for me that would have helped me in some way to be accepted by the Tamil industry. It didn’t go as I planned and hoped it would. But at the end of the day, I’m someone who never gives up. I always prepare for the next big thing. That’s life for me
