Ananya Panday recently became the target of online trolling after a clip from her upcoming film Chand Mera Dil started circulating on social media. In the video, the actress was seen performing Bharatanatyam-inspired dance movements, which quickly led to mixed reactions from viewers online.
While some people appreciated her effort, others criticized her expressions and dance style, leading to harsh comments across social media platforms. As the trolling grew stronger, Ananya’s father, actor Chunky Panday, finally reacted to the situation.
Defending his daughter, Chunky said people should avoid judging a performance by watching only a few seconds of a clip online. According to him, audiences should first watch the complete film and understand the emotional context of the scene before making negative comments.
He also pointed out how social media often creates instant opinions without giving artists a fair chance. Chunky appeared calm while responding and stressed that actors put in hard work and preparation for every role they perform.
The incident has once again sparked discussions about online trolling and the pressure celebrities face whenever short clips from films go viral before release.
Meanwhile, many fans came forward to support Ananya, saying actors should be encouraged for trying different styles and performances instead of being judged too quickly.
Despite the criticism, the conversation has increased curiosity around Chand Mera Dil, with audiences now eager to see the full performance and understand the scene properly.
