Actress, Ananya Panday has been in the limelight quite often recently with her back-to-back hits like Call Me Bae and CTRL. However, most recently, a post of hers has been gaining some attention, but not for entirely positive reasons. Believe it or not, Ananya Panday's birthday tribute for her very own nani has become source of discussion for many.
