Ananya Panday
Aryan Khan is all set to make his directorial debut with Bads Of Bollywood, and a star-studded premiere was held in the city last night. From Kajol, Madhuri Dixit, Vicky Kaushal, to Ananya Panday, the who's who of Bollywood arrived to support Aryan. While Ananya stunned in a white coloured maxi dress, netizens took cognizance of the tan on her body and trolled her. Now, the diva had seemingly given a reply.
For those unversed, Ananya gave us major wanderlust as she dropped stunning pics from her exotic vacay to Maldives. The actor's recent vacation to the Maldives was evident in her tan, which sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some on Instagram and Reddit praised Ananya's natural beauty, others criticised. Fashion watchdog Diet Sabya started the conversation with a playful caption: "I can't with y'all. She's just come back from vacation lol."
Fans were divided; one defended her, saying, "The tan looks great, to be honest; the makeup artist should have just matched her face to it!!" while another quipped, "Forgot to take her face on the vacation?" A person also said, "Okay, the makeup on face and on body are literally 5 shades different." Someone else said, "She is TanAnya Panday." A comment also read: "50 shades of Ananya."
Unfazed by negativity, Ananya embraced her tanned figure, writing, "I am a fan of tan."
Fresh from a Maldives getaway, Ananya stepped onto the red carpet in a stunning rhinestone maxi dress worth approximately Rs 86,200. The dreamy gown in white and champagne tones featured lace-trimmed asymmetric neckline details and a thigh-high slit.
On the work front, She will next be seen in films like Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and Chand Mera Dil. TMMTMTTM will feature her in the lead opposite Kartik Aaryan and will be released in the cinemas on New Year. The film is being directed by Sameer Vidwans.
Meanwhile, Chand Mera Dil is a romantic drama that pairs her with Kill actor Lakshya for the first time. Vivek Soni is helming the project with Dharma Productions bankrolling it.
