After months of speculation, actress Ananya Panday’s relationship status is finally clear, thanks to a heartfelt Instagram post from her boyfriend, Walker Blanco. Celebrating Ananya’s birthday, Walker shared a photo of the actress in a blue top and subtle pink gloss, captioning it, “Happy birthday beautiful. You are so special. I love you Anniee!” The post quickly went viral, marking the couple’s first public declaration and sparking celebrations among fans.

Ananya, previously linked to actor Aditya Roy Kapur, has been a favorite topic of discussion, especially within Bollywood’s circle of fans and media. Recently, Ananya’s mother, Bhavana Panday, shared her thoughts on the scrutiny her daughter faces regarding her relationships. In the latest season of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, Bhavana opened up about how, unlike in her own youth, her daughter’s relationships consistently attract media coverage. “When I was younger, I was paired with many people. It just didn’t make the headlines… The day she decides to get married, maybe I will get emotional,” she remarked.

Bhavana’s reflections came during a visit to Delhi, where she and fellow “Bombay wives” introduced viewers to new cast members Kalyani Chawla, Shalini Passi, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. During an event at her alma mater, SRCC, Bhavana addressed students, emphasizing her desire for Ananya to experience a “normal” young adulthood.

In her career, Ananya Panday is also gaining attention with her recent role in the Netflix thriller CTRL, where she plays a social media influencer entangled in AI-driven chaos. Opposite Vihaan Samat, she portrays Nella, a character navigating the darker implications of data privacy and technology. Next on her agenda is an untitled film by Karan Johar, set for release on March 14, 2025, starring alongside Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan.

With her career in full bloom and her relationship officially public, Ananya’s journey remains under the spotlight, promising more excitement both on and off screen.
