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.
Recently, Ananya Panday took to Instagram to wish her nani a happy birthday. However, while birthday posts often garner a gushing reaction from fans, Ananya's one has sparked serious debate. And it is because she shared an unseen glimpse of her nani enjoying a beer while feeding toddler Ananya milk from a bottle. Ananya added a birthday wish with it that read:
"Happy Birthday Nani! Love you, cheers."
Ananya's note also featured beer and smiling emojis, drawing much attention from fans. Off-late, celebrities are being expected to set examples in responsibility due to the influence they could potentially have on fans.
Ananya Panday's post for her nani comes not long after Diljit Dosanjh went viral for changing his song lyrics while performing in Hyderabad. The singer, who had been prohibited from singing songs about alcohol, came up with an innovative way to overcome the ban. He avoided alcohol references by replacing '5 tara theke ' with '5 tara hotel ' and ' daaru' ch lemonade' with 'Coke' ch lemonade.'
For the unversed, it was the Telangana government that had restricted Diljit from singing songs promoting alcohol and drugs. And Diljit's cooperation contrasts sharply with Ananya's candid post. That said, both approaches, albeit different, call to attention the ongoing debate about celebrities understanding their influence on audiences and responsibility in the entertainment industry.
