Bollywood actress Ananya Panday took to social media to reveal what she's been daydreaming about at the gym. Taking to Instagram, the 'Student of the Year' actress shared a series of photos and captioned it, 'At the gym but day dreaming of other things.' The first image shows Ananya taking a selfie at the gym, where she is seen flaunting her washboard abs. In the next shot, she looks glamorous in an off-shoulder dress. Other images feature plants arranged on a balcony, a building, sweet delicacies, an airplane, a swimming pool, and a stunning, peaceful night view of the sea. Ananya Panday also uses Instagram to share professional updates. On June 2, she announced the release date of her upcoming film, 'Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.' She posted a picture of herself and co-star Kartik Aaryan sharing a kiss behind an Indian passport. The romantic drama 'Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri' is slated to hit theatres on Feb.13, 2026. The film reunites Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, who last shared screen space in the 2019 hit 'Pati Patni Aur Woh.' Notably, this project also signifies a fresh beginning for Kartik and Dharma Productions, following their past fallout over 'Dostana 2.' With this film, Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan appear to have moved past their differences, signaling a renewed professional relationship. Ananya was last seen playing the role of lawyer Dilreet Gill in 'Kesari Chapter 2,' which also featured Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan. Her portrayal of a lawyer earned appreciation from both critics and audiences, who commended the conviction and nuance she brought to the character. This was the first time Panday appeared in a non-glamorous avatar.

During the performance, Ananya was joined by Chunky as they tapped a foot together on his popular track, 'Main Tera Tota' from the 1989 drama 'Paap Ki Duniya'. The father and daughter duo set the stage on fire with their scintillating chemistry. Their wholesome performance even left Bhavana teary-eyed. Talking about her special performance, Ananya said, 'I've grown up watching my dad light up people's lives with his work, and this performance was my way of saying thank you — not just to him as an artist, but as the incredible father who's always been my biggest supporter. Mom and I had been planning this surprise for so long and keeping it, a secret wasn't easy! Every time I rehearsed at home, he'd walk by looking confused, wondering what I was up to. Seeing his reaction tonight made it all worth it.' Indo-Asian News Service
