Hello Magazine India
Associate Editor

Ananya is a journalist in pursuit of human stories behind the headlines. With nearly two decades of experience across some of India’s leading lifestyle and culture magazines including Man’s World, Rolling Stone, HT Brunch, she covers the intersection of luxury, culture, fashion, and entertainment.

Equal parts interviewer, storyteller, and professional people-watcher, she remains endlessly fascinated by the personalities who shape the zeitgeist, the enduring pull of star culture, and the strange, often absurd machinery of modern fame. An occasional movie reviewer and a lifelong lover of the art, craft, and chaos of cinema, she is also an unabashed Bollywood fanatic and prefers to view life through a distinctly cinematic lens.

She is known to get disproportionately triggered by the 'contentification' of cinema, the general parade of mediocrity, and tilted skylines.
