Mumbai: Walker Blanco’s recent Instagram post confirmed his relationship with actress Ananya Panday, putting an end to months of speculation. On Ananya’s birthday, he shared a heartwarming tribute, posting a radiant photo of her with the caption, “Happy birthday, beautiful. You are very unique. Anniee, I adore you!” The gesture thrilled fans, and the post quickly gained attention.
Ananya, who wore a casual blue shirt and subtle pink gloss in the post, has previously kept her romantic life private. She was previously linked with actor Aditya Roy Kapur, though reports suggest they parted ways earlier this year. Her mother, Bhavana Panday, shared her perspective on Ananya’s love life during Fabulous Lives vs. Bollywood Wives Season 3. Bhavana, who accompanied her friends on a tour to Delhi, responded thoughtfully to a student’s question about the media’s focus on Ananya’s relationships, explaining that she wanted her daughter to enjoy her life like anyone else.
Professionally, Ananya was recently seen as “Nella,” a social media influencer caught in a whirlwind of AI-driven chaos, in the Netflix thriller CTRL. The show, alongside Vihaan Samat as “Joe,” explores themes of data privacy and the impact of AI on personal lives, adding a dark twist to the digital age. Ananya’s upcoming role is in an untitled Karan Johar movie, scheduled for release on March 14, 2025, where she will star alongside R. Madhavan and Akshay Kumar.
