Ananya Panday’s return from the Maldives wasn’t just about holiday memories — it came with a bronzed glow that set social media on fire.
The actor turned heads at the premiere of Netflix’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood in Mumbai, not just for her shimmering white outfit, but for the deep tan she sported, clearly fresh from island life.
While some fans loved the confident, sun-kissed look, others couldn’t resist chiming in with playful digs. Comments like “Fake tan gone wrong, at least do it evenly,” and “One day after roaming at Juhu beach,” started making the rounds.
Nicknames like “Tananya Panday” and captions like “The summer I used all the bronzer” began trending, as the internet did what it does best — turn a red-carpet moment into a meme-fest.
But Ananya took it all in stride, with a cheeky clapback that only added to her charm. Sharing a light-hearted video on Instagram Stories, she wrote, “I’m a fan of the tan (laughing emoji),” proving once again that she knows how to laugh along with the jokes — and win people over while doing it.
Later, she also shared a clip from the event, captioned, “Why does it feel so good to be bad, shining away for the #TheBadsOfBollywood which is out now on @netflix,” clearly embracing the evening’s edgy vibe.
Of course, her bronzed glow wasn’t a surprise to everyone. Just days before, Ananya had flooded Instagram with dreamy Maldives snapshots — swimming with sea turtles, spotting dolphins, and lounging under pastel skies.
“The sky looks like it was painted, and I also did some painting,” she captioned one of the posts, hinting at the relaxed, sun-soaked escape behind the tan.
