MUMBAI: Sanam Puri, lead vocalist of popular band SANAM, says he met his ‘fan’ Ananya Panday while recording for a song from her debut film Student Of the Year 2, and has urged people to support her.

According to a source, when Ananya found out that Sanam was roped in to sing Fakira, she decided to be present for the song's recording session.

"Ananya is a really sweet person. That was the first and the only time we met. It's her first film and I would love for everyone to support and encourage her. I was concentrating on the song mostly, but all of us sat together and shared some funny stories later," Sanam said in a statement.

"And Ananya was practising for SOTY 2 with Punit Malhotra (the film's director) in the studio," he added.

Malhotra recently teased Sanam about his fan following.  Commenting on it, Sanam said: "Punit is a fabulous human being, very humble and positive. And he's always accepted my voice in songs by (composers) Vishal-Shekhar. Big thanks to him too."
