Ananya Panday becomes the only Indian actress to be named in Business of Fashion 500 Class of 2025
Bollywood actor Ananya Panday has secured a spot on the prestigious Business of Fashion 500 Class of 2025, becoming the only Indian actress featured this year. The annual list celebrates global leaders shaping the fashion industry and includes international names such as Hailey Bieber and Zoe Kravitz.
Ananya Panday joins a distinguished group of Indian actors who have previously been recognized, including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Sonam Kapoor. For Ananya, this recognition marks another milestone in her expanding presence in the fashion space. She has already made a significant impact as Chanel’s first-ever Indian brand ambassador and through campaigns with global luxury houses like Jimmy Choo.
Sharing her excitement on Instagram, the actress wrote that she was “honoured to be on the BoF 500 Class of 2025 list amongst the best in fashion.”
Beyond fashion, Ananya has been steadily building her career in films. She made her debut with *Student of the Year 2* and went on to find commercial success with *Pati Patni Aur Woh*. Her performance in *Gehraiyaan* was noted for its maturity, while *Kho Gaye Hum Kahan* resonated strongly with younger audiences. More recently, projects like *CTRL* and the streaming series *Call Me Bae* have allowed her to experiment with contemporary narratives.
Looking ahead, Ananya has several exciting projects lined up. These include Dharma Productions’ *Chand Mera Dil*, where she stars opposite The Ba***ds of Bollywood actor Lakshya, and *Tu Mera Main Teri Main Teri Tu Mera*, alongside Kartik Aaryan, directed by *Satyaprem Ki Katha* filmmaker Sameer Vidwans. She will also return in *Call Me Bae* Season 2 on Amazon Prime Video.
Earlier this year, Ananya was also listed in Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 (2025), further adding to her growing international profile. With her inclusion in the BoF 500 Class of 2025, she continues to successfully balance her work between cinema and fashion, maintaining strong visibility on both global and homegrown platforms.
