She started her social media journey at a very young age and hence had seen instances of cyber bullying very early on. When the trolls started hitting her near the launch of her debut film, she decided to fight cyber-bullying and set an example for the people who consider her as a role model.

She started an online campaign named as “So+”, pronounced as “So positive” to fight against cyber bullying and stop the trolls affecting not only her, but other aspiring models, actors, teenagers and everyone who is adversely affected by it. So Positive is an original cause taken up by Ananya which is backed with substantial data, research and behavioral statistics. The initiative’s prime focus is to make people aware of the fact that this issue exists and is prevalent in society. The platform would create engagement to inform the broader public about the existing actions to emerge out of the issue. Ananya’s initiative is centered around extending support and providing guidance to people to collaborate with helpful entities such as government and lawyers, to name a few.

Recently this initiative was acknowledged by Instagram and it was taken to a global level by the team of Instagram. This was a huge step towards the success of this initiative and reduction of cyber bullying not only in the country, but across the globe.
