Ananya Birla and Janhvi Kapoor have reportedly been friends for a long time. Ananya, the daughter of Kumar Mangalam Birla and Neerja Birla, is an entrepreneur and a well-known musician. She launched her music career with her debut single Livin' the Life in 2016, produced by Jim Beanz.
According to reports, Ananya will soon be launching her makeup brand, for which Janhvi will be the face. The gift from Ananya is said to be a thank-you gesture to Janhvi for being associated with her brand.
The actress was last seen on screen in the film Devara: Part 1, which marked her Telugu film debut. The film also stars Jr. NTR and Saif Ali Khan. She is currently shooting for Param Sundari with Sidharth Malhotra and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which features an ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, and Maniesh Paul.
