Panday opened up about her life to IDiva.com. She says that she wants to be a role model for young girls out there.  "I don't ever want young women to look at me and feel any kind of pressure to look or dress like me. I want people to be able to walk up to me and talk to me. It shouldn't be hard because I am young and I don't have a filter. I say things that are embarrassing all the time. I tripped and fell yesterday. Even with brand shoots, I am trying to focus on young and fresh brands that resonate with my personality. I want young girls and women to feel like they connect with me and that they don't have to aspire for unreal beauty or fashion standards."

Panday wants to be open and real with people. Especially on social media. She tells IDiva.com, "I feel like no one posts their failures on Instagram, everyone only wants to post happy pictures and their successes. That and social-media bullying are my peeves."

Panday has had to deal with a lot of haters on social media. However, she tells IDiva.com that she doesn't let them bother her. "I have realised that when people troll you, it is not something that's on you, it is on them. You've not done anything wrong, something is wrong with them and they are taking it out on you. I am thick-skinned because of my dad. He has gone through a lot and he takes a joke well but people don't realise that their words can hurt. Those words might not hurt me, but it is unfair that my parents have to read things about me. I feel it is easy to sit behind a computer screen and say things casually because you can't say it to someone's face. I don't think bullying or trolling is okay in any way."

Panday tells IDiva.com what her secrets for staying grounded are. "I am still treated the same way by my friends and family, and it helps ground me and detach from the way I am treated on sets or at conferences. It is important to go back to a normal life and talk about something other than films. At such a young age, it is easy to get carried away and be surrounded by yes men but I know my family and friends will always have my back."

Panday has a lot of confidence. She opened up about her journey with confidence to LifestyleAsia.com. "I know it sounds cliche, but I think that when you start working fresh out of school, as I did at 18 for the film, there are so many issues that a young girl, in general, has with herself," she says. "We have our body issues, we have our own set of mental health issues, relationships and it could be anything. At that age, we're constantly battling something or the other. Then at the same time, you're starting in this big world and you're putting yourself out there. So I was nervous back then. I didn't know the ropes to call it. Even though my father's an actor, I never grew up on a film set in that way. So I was still learning how to conduct myself. I was still learning the way things work, how to interact with people, and how to meet people for work then. I'm a little more confident in myself in general now because I'm easier on myself and I think that's what it is."
