Ananya Panday made her Bollywood debut in Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year 2', which recently completed five years of its release.

Karan had cast Hollywood actor Will Smith, who made a special appearance in the film.

Ananya recently expressed how surprised she was to meet the actor for the first time on the set of her film.

Ananya Panday claimed that she couldn't believe Punit Malhotra, the filmmaker, had kept this secret. 

Ananya said that a day before the shoot that she was filming a song, and Punit casually mentioned Will Smith's appearance. She claimed that his disclosure surprised everyone.

Ananya even described Will Smith as the most chilled-out person when she initially arrived on the set.
