Bhavana Panday on daughter Ananya Panday’s dating life: ‘I was paired with many people when I was young’

Bhavana Panday, mother of actress Ananya Panday and a cast member of ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’, recently addressed her daughter’s dating life amid rumours of a breakup. In the past, there were speculations about a brief romance between Ananya and Aditya Roy Kapur. It seems the two have now gone their separate ways. Meanwhile, new gossip suggests that Ananya may be dating Walker Blanco, as she was recently spotted wearing a pendant with the initials "WB" in a viral video clip.
These dating rumours were countered by Bhavana, who shared her perspective on the matter, emphasising that Ananya should be allowed to lead a normal life. She firmly stated, "The day she decides to get married, she will be happy," expressing her motherly love and support.
In one of the episodes of ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives Season 3 ’, Bhavana fondly reminisced about her college days at SRCC in Delhi, recounting how the ‘Bombay wives’ travelled to the capital to meet new cast members Kalyani Chawla, Shalini Passi, and Riddhima Sahni. During the trip, she attended a college event with friends and fellow co-stars Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, and Seema Sajdeh.
At the event, a student asked Bhavana if the constant headlines linking Ananya to various individuals bothered her. She sighed and responded, "When I was young, I was paired with many people. It just didn’t make headlines. That’s the difference. So, she should live her life as normally as I did, or as any of you do." Bhavana added that she hoped Ananya would enjoy her youth and noted that the only time she might get emotional would be when her daughter decides to marry.
Rumours about Ananya's relationship with Walker have been swirling for several weeks, but the buzz intensified after reports emerged that Walker accompanied Ananya to Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding. However, neither Ananya nor Walker has made any official statement about their relationship.

On the professional front, Ananya Panday was last seen in ‘CTRL’, which received positive reviews from both fans and critics. Her upcoming projects include ‘Call Me Bae Season 2’ and an untitled Dharma Productions film alongside Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan.
