Ananya Panday’s name had reportedly surfaced in one of the WhatsApp chats of a person accused in the Mumbai cruise drugs bust case, in which Aryan Khan was implicated along with 19 others. On October 3, eight people on a cruise ship were arrested after an alleged drug bust.
Ananya Panday made her Bollywood debut in 2019 with the film 'Student of The Year 2’.
The NCB has been cracking down on A-listers after an alleged “Bollywood-drugs link” surfaced after actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death last year. Several high-profile celebrities and socialites have been questioned since by the anti-drugs agency.
Aryan Khan has been denied bail repeatedly by different courts including the special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) court.
