Alanna Panday: I Wanted People To See The Actual Hustle Behind The Scenes...

Alanna Panday opens up about her journey. She also mentioned her mom keeps her grounded and discussed the challenges of sharing personal moments online. Despite mixed reactions, she's glad viewers connect with the unfiltered reality of their lives.

"My Family Has Always Encouraged Me"

Speaking about her family, she told Zoom, "My family has always encouraged me to take calculated risks and reminded me to focus on the journey, not just the destination. My mom always says, 'Stay true to your roots, stay grounded, and don't take life too seriously.' That's kept me level-headed and, honestly, laughing through some of the crazier moments."

"Wanted People To See The Actual Hustle..."

She was questioned about sharing her moments in vlogs. She said, "Coming from a background where privacy is a luxury, I went into this with a mix of curiosity and caution. It's one thing to have your work out there, but sharing personal highs, lows, and all the in-betweens? That's another game entirely. I wanted people to see the actual hustle behind the scenes, creating content, getting brand deals, dealing with trolls, beyond the filtered posts. While it's not always easy, it's been worthwhile to share our journey as it really is."

"It's Incredible..."

Talking about the response her series got, she said, "The response has been mixed but overall it's incredible. People seem to genuinely connect with the real, unfiltered parts of us, which is exactly what we hoped for. It's funny, though, because I get messages like, 'You're the glue that keeps everyone together!' and I think, well, someone has got to!"
