  • Ananya Panday shares selfie in arm sling, sparking concern among fans
  • She jokes about her injury, keeping the mood light with a playful caption
  • Ananya last appeared in "Tu Meri Main Tera," released on Dec 25, 2025.

Ananya Panday seems to have kicked off 2026 with a small health hiccup and her usual sense of humour intact. The actor shared a mirror selfie on Instagram where she is seen wearing an arm sling, sparking instant concern among fans. In the picture, Ananya is dressed in a comfy oversized grey hoodie and matching bottoms, standing in what looks like a salon or vanity area, with posters and decor visible behind her. She keeps it casual, but the sling is hard to miss, suggesting she may have hurt her arm or shoulder.

Instead of sounding worried, Ananya chose to caption the moment with a cheeky line in Hindi: 2026 mein nazar lag gayi, implying she has been hit by the evil eye. The playful caption, paired with her unimpressed expression in the selfie, made the post feel more like classic Ananya banter than a dramatic health update.

Naturally, the comments quickly turned into a get-well-soon zone. Fans and friends flooded the replies, sending wishes and asking what happened. Since she has not shared details about the injury yet, it is unclear whether it is a minor strain, a fall, or something that happened during a shoot. For now, the sling is doing the talking while she keeps the tone light.

The post also grabbed attention on celebrity pages, with many calling it a bumpy start to the year for the actor. Still, the overall vibe remains upbeat: she is visibly fine, just temporarily strapped in, and clearly in no mood to make it a big sob story.

Known for her films Student of the Year 2, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Gehraiyaan and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Ananya Panday has steadily carved her space with youthful roles, evolving performances, and a growing presence across cinema and digital platforms.

On the work front, Ananya was last seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, her latest film release, which hit theatres on December 25, 2025.
