Bollywood actress Ananya Panday has once again sparked conversation around her rumoured relationship with Walker Blanco after sharing a heartfelt birthday wish for him — coincidentally on Valentine’s Day.

On Saturday, February 14, Ananya took to her Instagram Stories and posted a candid picture of Walker smiling as he sat on a balcony in the background. The post quickly caught fans’ attention, especially given the timing of the occasion.

Alongside the image, she wrote, “Happy birthday Walkie, you’re the best."

In another story, the actress shared a short video of a chocolate cake decorated beautifully with flowers. While it remains unclear whether the cake was meant for Walker’s birthday celebration or simply coincidental, Ananya added a sweet caption to the clip, writing, “This may be the most perfect cake ever." The posts further fueled speculation among fans who have been closely following the duo’s social media interactions.

Ananya and Walker dating rumours

Rumours about Ananya and Walker’s relationship first began circulating when the two were seen attending the grand wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant together. Their appearance at the high-profile event set social media abuzz, and since then, their online exchanges and subtle displays of affection have consistently grabbed attention.

Despite the growing curiosity and constant chatter online, neither Ananya nor Walker has officially confirmed or addressed the dating rumours.

Who is Walker Blanco?

As per reports, Walker Blanco is originally from the United States, with roots in Chicago, Illinois. His Facebook profile suggests that he spent a significant part of his early years in Miami, Florida. Interestingly, Walker was previously associated with modelling before stepping away from the limelight.

He is currently linked with Vantara, the ambitious wildlife conservation initiative spearheaded by Anant Ambani. While specific details about his role at Vantara remain undisclosed, sources suggest that he is deeply passionate about wildlife and conservation efforts.
