Ananya Panday did her schooling from Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai. She was accepted by Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC for a major in Communication in the Spring 2018 semester. However, since Panday was shooting for her debut Student Of The Year 2, she had to request for a deferral (which means postponing the admission) twice - first to Fall 2018 and later to Fall 2019, both of which the University agreed to do. But, as the actress is not going to attend the University anymore, as she has decided to concentrate on her acting career more.
