Ananya Panday took a break from her busy schedule to share a special birthday wish for her cousin Alanna Panday. The Bollywood actress, known for her roles in ‘Dream Girl 2’ and the upcoming series ‘Call Me Bae,’ posted a nostalgic throwback picture on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, capturing the hearts of her fans.
The adorable childhood photo shows Ananya and Alanna embracing each other in a loving hug, radiating the close bond they share. Alongside the picture, Ananya penned a heartfelt message, “Happy birthday big sister, can’t believe you’re a mama. I love you.”
Alanna Panday, who tied the knot with Ivor McCray in Mumbai last year, recently became a mother, welcoming their baby boy last month. The couple had announced they were expecting their first child back in February, making this birthday even more special for Alanna.
As for Ananya, she is gearing up for her much-anticipated OTT debut with the web series ‘Call Me Bae,’ set to stream on September 6. The series, produced by Dharmatic Entertainment with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra as Executive Producers, features Ananya as Bella Bae Chowdhary. The story follows Bae’s journey from heiress to hustler as she navigates the ups and downs of life, relying on her street smarts and style rather than her once-valuable assets.
‘Call Me Bae’ also stars Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra, and Mini Mathur. Written by Ishita Moitra, Samina Motlekar, and Rohit Nair, and directed by Collin D’Cunha, the series promises to showcase Ananya in a bold new avatar.
In addition to ‘Call Me Bae,’ Ananya is set to star in ‘CTRL,’ another exciting venture slated for release on Netflix on October 4. The actress’s fans are eagerly awaiting her performances in both projects, as she continues to make her mark in the industry.
