All of us only look at our own circle or those better off than us. Ananya's parents were at the bottom of the totem pole in their group. If they made a step wrong, they would be kicked out the same way Arjun Rampal and Mehr were. They get mocked for living off SRK and people make gossip that SRK pays for Ananya's expenses. It would be embarrassing and hard to be seen that way. She could not dream of having Suhana's lifestyle. Their friendship must have its own power dynamics even if Suhana is nice. She's the one whose house they party at because it's a mansion, she's the one whose dad flies them on private planes to watch cricket games, she's the one who probably gets first dibs on movies. If Suhana wanted Student of the Year, she could have taken it. Ananya knows this so for her it's her own struggle.
Tomorrow if Suhana wants to talk about her own issues, I think it would fine too. She faces her own problems, gets called ugly all the time, people make fun of her skin color, people gossip about her family. She will get compared to her dad and mocked like Abhishek and put down because he's such a big star. Others don't face that.
They are more privileged than average people but nobody looks at those below them. We don't either. We complain about our middle-class struggles too when there are people much worse off than us.
