According to her, the trip was not just about updating her wardrobe but about reshaping the way she expresses herself.

“I came back wanting to experiment more, trust my instincts, and not shy away from bold silhouettes or unexpected pairings. Even now, whenever I need a creative spark, I revisit those memories. They’ve earned a permanent place on my mood board and in my mindset,” she explained.

The ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ actress also shared her go-to style hacks when she’s on the move. For her, comfort comes first, but she still likes to keep her look stylish and “put together.”

“When I’m traveling, whether for work or a holiday, I want to feel comfortable but still presentable. I always pack versatile basics that I can mix and match: a great pair of denims, oversized shirts, statement accessories, and a blazer that works for both day and night,” she said.

On long travel days, Ananya prefers cozy outfits. “Comfort is key, so you’ll find me in sweatpants and sneakers, especially on flights, when settling into an Airbnb, or while exploring a new city,” she added.

Apart from style, Ananya also revealed her beauty must-haves while traveling. Her simple yet effective hacks ensure she looks fresh even on hectic schedules.

“Beauty-wise, a dewy skin tint, mascara, and a lip and cheek tint go a long way. I also swear by a hydrating mist, a good SPF, and under-eye patches for early call times. And yes, dry shampoo is a must. It’s a total game changer,” the actress said.
