Ananya Pandey on Saturday dismissed the accusations that she lied about getting selected in a prestigious US university.

The ‘Student of the Year 2’ actor had recently said in an interview that she chose not to go to college despite being accepted for a journalism program as she wanted to focus on her acting career.
A woman, who goes by the name of “anieeepeee” on Instagram, then came forward disputing the actor’s statement and said she never applied for any foreign university.

Setting the record straight, the 20-year-old actor posted a photo of her with the university letters on Instagram and revealed that she had successfully applied for a major in Communication at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism but postponed her admission twice as she was shooting for her debut film.

“As I’ve stated earlier, I was accepted by Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC for a major in Communication in the Spring 2018 semester.”In my case, I could only defer my admission two times so I will not be attending university , since I’ve decided to pursue my career in acting,” she added.

The actor also said the rumours that she lied about getting selected in a foreign university were “getting out of hand” and have been “unfair” to her and her family.

“As for the people who have been trying to pull me down with these accusations, I would like to send you all lots of love, peace and positivity.
