Ananya on voicing Riley

Panday said voicing Riley made her relive many of her childhood moments and dubbing for the upcoming movie was "the most fun I’ve had at work". "I have always been such a huge fan of Disney and Pixar animated films, these stories transport you to a world that is so entertaining and yet relatable at the same time.

"I remember being a teenager myself when I saw Inside Out a few years ago and being so mesmerized by this wonderful world of colourful emotions, never imagining in my wildest dreams that one day I would be an integral part of such a novel story!" the 25-year-old actor said in a statement.
