Ananya Panday Turns Up The Heat In A Sexy Polka-Dot Mini Dress
Ananya Panday serves fashion and there is no denying it, and today the actor has done it again—served looks, and the internet is already going crazy over her good looks. In her recent photoshoot, Ananya Panday wore a stylish black mini dress with tiny white polka dot prints all over it. The dress features a tiered ruffle style that adds a soft, flirty texture and movement.
The outfit subtly defines her waist with a fitted waistband, giving structure to the otherwise flowy design. The outfit gives a 10-on-10 vibe with a halter neckline, and the V-shaped cut adds a touch of glamour to her overall appearance. While sharing the pictures, Ananya wrote, 'How many is tooo many?"

For the makeup, Ananya Panday kept it minimal and fresh, with a dewy and radiant base and skin tint, softly groomed eyebrows, and a nude or muted peach lip shade. Ananya let the eyes do all the talking with just mascara to define lashes without overpowering the fresh look.
For the hair, she left it loose in soft waves with a middle or slightly off-center part. This look is a perfect example of effortless evening glam—something you can wear for a dinner date, a night out with friends, or even a casual party.
Ananya Panday's work front
Ananya Panday has been on a roll with back-to-back successful projects. She recently wowed audiences with her role in Kesari 2, co-starring Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan. Before that, she delivered two successful shows—Call Me Bae and Netflix's web series CTRL. Ananya is now gearing up for Dharma Productions' passionate love story titled Chand Mera Dil alongside Lakshya, which is slated for a 2025 release.
Recently, reports came in that she will join hands with Abhay Verma for a romantic drama Choomantar. As per a report in PeepingMoon, Abhay Verma will return to Maddock Films to join hands with Ananya Panday for a romantic drama titled Choomantar. If reports are to be believed, the sci-fi romance will go on floors by the end of 2025, with pre-production starting as early as September. More details about the project and other cast members are currently under wraps.
Ananya has been busy with the shoot of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri with Kartik Aaryan.

Mohit Suri Called Uncle Mahesh Bhatt For Advice On Saiyaara: 'He Said Swear Words'
Mahesh Bhatt told Saiyaara director Mohit Suri to trust his instincts. Mohit Suri's latest film, Saiyaara, has become a sensation ever since its release last month. The film starred newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, who have also become massive stars due to the film's success. As Saiyaara continues its box office run, Mohit Suri joined CNN-News18 for a Town Hall where he discussed love, loss and of course, Saiyaara. During his session, he recalled how he called his uncle, Mahesh Bhatt, for advice when he was confused about a certain scene in the film. Mohit's mother, Heena, is Mahesh Bhatt's sister, making him the filmmaker's nephew. Mohit has often worked under Mahesh's guidance, and when he was faced with doubt during the shoot of Saiyaara, he reached out to his uncle and mentor. Referring to the scene in Saiyaara where Ahaan Panday's father gets violent with him, Mohit Suri said, while he was staging the scene with the actors, he felt it had become too dramatic. Mohit Suri said, 'At 7 in the morning the next day, I was going to shoot the scene. I sent a missed call to Bhatt saab. He was up at 4 in the morning, and he called me up. I said, 'I am feeling a little unsure, they're very nice people. I think I'm being a little too dramatic.' He has no idea about my script." 'All I've told him is the scene where the son gets violent with his father, he's an alcoholic. Bhatt saab just cut me off. He said a couple of swear words to me; that's him. I didn't realise that my profile picture was of my son's hand in my hand. He just said that the way you're holding your son's hand in a close-up, the kind of emotion you feel towards your son, no matter how, go shoot this scene, it's never going to have a wrong emotional connect," Mohit recalled. Mohit Suri said that Mahesh Bhatt mentioned, 'The son-father bond is too pure for you. How can the same person who has a DP like this even ask me this question? Go shoot it the way you want." Mohit Suri listened paid heed to this advice and it turned out to be one of the scenes that Aditya Chopra loved most. Meanwhile, Saiyaara has struck an emotional chord with audiences across the globe. The film's Indian box office collection has crossed Rs 300 crore, while the global total now stands above Rs 500 crore. Alongside Ahaan and Aneet, the ensemble cast includes Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, Shaan Groverr, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola.

Janhvi Kapoor In Masaba Gupta's Silver And Satin Look Is A Bride Who Breaks The Rules
Last Updated: As the Masaba bride for House Of Masaba's latest bridal collection, Janhvi Kapoor stunned in an unconventional lehenga set that came with a strapless blouse and dhoti skirt. Janhvi Kapoor continues to prove she's in a league of her own when it comes to style. After her dazzling ethnic looks for Param Sundari promotions, the actress has now stepped into bridal couture for ace designer Masaba Gupta by bringing a mix of drama, heritage, and modern flair to the runway of imagination. Masaba Gupta's House of Masaba's latest collection celebrates 'the bride who knows who she is and chooses how she shows up", and Janhvi Kapoor is its perfect muse. She embodies the many moods of the modern bride: coy, brave, shy, rebellious – often all in one frame. Decoding Janhvi Kapoor's Look View this post on Instagram A post shared by House of Masaba (@houseofmasaba) Janhvi traded the conventional lehenga for an unexpected silhouette. The Chandni set included a strapless, structured blouse with curved edges, crafted in shimmering silver and drenched in sequins that caught the light with every movement. Instead of the traditional skirt, Masaba styled her in satin-gold dhotis, mermaid-shaped and detailed with central pleats for a regal, fluid finish. The pairing balanced old-world grandeur with contemporary confidence – a visual metaphor for the modern bride herself. Janhvi's bridal accessories were statement pieces in their own right. Gold armlets with silver detailing framed her upper arms, the embroidered designs cascading into tassels of beads and stones. Her wrists were stacked with chunky bangles and delicate floral bracelets, blurring the line between jewellery and art. A unique, ornate headpiece: part maang tikka, part crown, added an unapologetic dose of drama, anchoring the look firmly in bridal tradition while refusing to play it safe. For the makeup, Janhvi went with a flawless matte base that let her natural complexion shine, with sculpted contour, flushed cheeks, and a touch of highlighter for a lit-from-within glow. Her maroon lips became the look's statement feature, while metallic eyeshadow, generous mascara, and pin-straight, open hair tied the ensemble together. The result was bridal glam that was both timeless and fresh. Janhvi Kapoor, in Masaba Gupta's hands, isn't just wearing couture – she's telling a story. This is bridal fashion that speaks to individuality, defies predictability, and still honours tradition. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mohit Suri Reveals How Saiyaara Title Track Was Born: 'These Boys From Kashmir…'
Last Updated: Mohit Suri revealed at CNN-News18's Mumbai Townhall that he recorded all songs for Saiyaara before shooting. He also spoke about Saiyaara title track's creation. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara wasn't just built on a script – it was first built on music. Suri, at CNN-News18's Mumbai Townhall event, revealed that he recorded all the songs for the film before even beginning to shoot. He also spoke about how the Saiyaara title track was conceived, which ultimately became a chartbuster. The filmmaker, who is known for working with multiple music directors at the same time, detailed his process. 'It's a nightmare to work with multiple music directors," Mohit Suri playfully said. 'When I started off, I was 22 when I was directing my first film. I had long hair, etc., and people didn't take me seriously. I was in Krish Kapoor mode. Most people didn't want to work with me at that time – the senior ones. They didn't think I knew my job. Out of inability, I went out and found guys like Mithoon, who was 19 back then, and all these people, and got a musicians' ensemble together." That 'inability" quickly became his competitive edge. The Aashiqui 2 director said, 'What was good was that I was someone who went out and hung out in clubs and coffee shops, etc., and that's how I know a DJ Suketu, who made Bin Tere Sanam. I had the edge because I was connected, and I put it all together, and it worked out. Then it also worked for the second film. What started as a limitation became my strength. I am not against working with one music director, but my greed or need for good music – if one person can give it to me, I am happy. But I love that process where I am sitting and jamming together." Mohit Suri on the making of Saiyaara title track For Saiyaara, the title track has its own serendipitous backstory. 'There are these boys from Kashmir, who I have one song called Ishq in the Indie circuit. I'm like, call this boy down, he brings along a partner. They are in Mumbai for 14 days to try their luck. The last time Arslan was working on the Atal Setu between Leh-Ladakh and Kashmir as a civil engineer – he's a civil engineer. He comes and meets Tanishk Bagchi from Bengal. He makes them meet me. I make them meet Irshad Kamil, who is from Punjab. We jam together and make something in the air, called the Saiyaara title track. It's the most amazing process." Mohit Suri-helmed Saiyaara was backed by YRF. It starred debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
