Siddhant Chaturvedi recently expressed his support for Ananya Panday’s digital debut with the series Call Me Bae. The trailer for the show, which was released to much enthusiasm, has a playful nod to a memorable moment from a 2020 roundtable interview involving both Siddhant and Ananya. In the interview, Ananya spoke about the struggles of being in the film industry, to which Siddhant famously responded, “The difference is jahaan humare sapne poore hote hain, wahi inka struggle shuru hota hai.” This comment became a viral sensation and has now been referenced in the Call Me Bae trailer.
Directed by Collin D’Cunha and created by Ishita Moitra, Call Me Bae follows the journey of a billionaire fashionista, Bae, who must navigate life after being disowned by her family. The series is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment and is set to premiere on Prime Video on September 6.

Siddhant took to Instagram Stories to share his excitement about the series, praising Ananya’s performance and wishing the entire team the best. He wrote, “@ananyapanday in your element and how! @collindcunha best wishes to the whole team! Looks super fun! PS: love the last part @primevideoin @dharmamovies @karanjohar.”
At the trailer launch, Ananya addressed the reference to the viral interview moment, noting that she and the team had “kind of owned up to it.” Reflecting on the incident, she mentioned that it happened five years ago and expressed her desire to move past it, focusing instead on her work and hoping that people appreciate it.
Ananya and Siddhant previously collaborated on the film Gehraiyaan, which was released directly on Prime Video in 2022 and was also produced by Dharma Productions. Their continued association with Karan Johar’s projects underscores the strong professional ties within the Bollywood industry.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere of Call Me Bae, looking forward to seeing Ananya in a new light as she explores the ups and downs of her character’s life in this stylish and entertaining series.
