For the occasion, the birthday girl made a style statement donning a denim dress. Her white sports shoes and evergreen smile complimented her attire.

She also cut a cake in the presence of her media and fans who had gathered at her residence. Ananya, who is the elder daughter of Chunky Panday, debuted with Student of the Year 2, and since then has established a solid fan following.

It seems the actress had a gala time with her fans. She managed to squeeze time out of her busy schedule to celebrate her day. On her birthday, she was busy shooting for a song for her upcoming film Pati Patni Aur Woh with her co-stars Bhumi Pednekar and Kartik Aaryan.

Ananya Panday shared, "It will be a working birthday for me. I'll be shooting for a song till midnight and expecting Kartik (Aaryan) and Bhumi (Pednekar) to surprise me. I've been dropping hints for days, even sashaying around the sets in a crown and a sash which reads, ‘It’s my birthday’. They better have a plan ready, else I'll be disappointed."
