‘Not at the cost of wanting…’: Ananya Panday reveals her ambitious side; expert weighs in | Feelings News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiMay 20, 2026 10:40 AM IST Ambition often gets a bad reputation. Somewhere between ruthless competition, endless comparisons, and the glorification of “winning at all costs,” being ambitious is sometimes mistaken for being willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. Ananya Panday, however, seems to see ambition differently. In an interview with Variety India, the Call Me Bae actor said, “I am very ambitious but not at the cost of wanting to pull someone else down. But I am very ambitious. I know exactly what I want to do.” She also acknowledged how women in the industry can make the path easier for others, saying that the boundaries Deepika Padukone has set for herself have paved the way for many younger women coming after her. Panday’s distinction separates healthy ambition from insecurity-driven competition — something mental health experts say reflects emotional maturity.

2 min readFeb 23, 2026 03:12 PM IST Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has said that making too many changes to the playing XI for the Super 8 clash against Zimbabwe won’t be the solution to India’s woes, following their 76-run loss to South Africa in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The 39-year-old said that players needed to sort their issues out themselves and too much chopping and changing could create insecurity within the dressing room. “It is time to find solutions. We think solutions are made by making changes. No. Players will find solutions themselves if there is stability in the team. We have to keep the environment such that players feel stable and think for themselves and bring in solutions. We cannot think of always making changes. They will go into insecurity otherwise,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel ‘Ash ki Baat’. The 106-Test veteran also felt that India needed to reinstate Axar Patel in the playing XI for the game in Chennai on Thursday and also consider the option of picking Kuldeep Yadav for …

‘Sab darr ke khel rahe hain’: Former India batter claims insecurity within Test team under Gautam Gambhir | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former India batter Mohammed Kaif said insecurity over playing spots has stalled the progress of the Test batters in home conditions under the current team management helmed by Gautam Gambhir. On Sunday, India’s batters put on an abject display on a crumbling Eden Gardens pitch in Kolkata against South Africa in the first Test that they proceeded to lose by 30 runs. Opting for four spinners, including two all-rounders in Washington Sundar and Axar Patel, India moved away from a specialist batter, Sai Sudharsan, at number three for the match. Though Sundar put on an impressive and stoic show in his new slot, Kaif called out the instability over playing XI selections, with batters being rotated quite often. Citing a lack of support for batters such as Sarfaraz Khan, who has been demoted from the national radar, Kaif said on his YouTube channel: “Whichever players are playing, they don’t have a feeling that someone is standing for them. Koi backing nahi hai, sab darr ke khel rahe hain. (There is no backing; everyone is playing …
