Ananya Panday says ‘Wah Taj' as she poses in front of the Taj Mahal
For the caption, the actress simply wrote: 'Wah Taj!'
Ananya added the song 'Jashn-E-Bahaaraa' by A. R. Rahman and Javed Ali from the 2008 film 'Jodhaa Akbar' starring Hritihk Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She took to her stories section and reposted the pictures she had shared.
Ananya added the caption: 'Pictures don't do this beauty justice. You have to see it to believe it.' The Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1631 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
Ananya in her stories section also shared a glimpse of veteran star Jackie Shroff and wrote: 'Guess who I'm shooting with.'
In the picture, Jackie's face is not visible, however his iconic plant neck piece with 'Bhidu' written on it gives away that the actress is shooting with the veteran star.
The actress will next be seen in 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' starring Kartik Aaryan, Neena Gupta and Jackie. The project marks Kartik and Ananya's second on-screen collaboration after their 2019 release 'Pati Patni Aur Woh'. Backed by Karan Johar in collaboration with Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora, 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' is likely to reach the cinema halls on Feb.13 next year.
Meanwhile, Ananya with the help of her initiative So Positive in partnership with an NGO, has launched aKindness Curriculum designed for schools across India and said that she feels if kindness is instilled in children from a young age, it becomes second nature to them.
Ananya said, 'Kindness has always been at the heart of everything we do at So Positive.
It's something I deeply believe in-not just as an idea, but as a way of life. I truly feel that if we can instill kindness in kids from a young age, it becomes second nature to them as they grow up.'
She added: 'That's why the Kindness Curriculum is so close to my heart. With everything going on in the world, I feel an even stronger need to help build a generation that's more empathetic, emotionally aware, and simply... kind.'
Ananya's initiative So Positive, in partnership with the inspiring NGO Slam Out Loud.

The return of anklets: 15 sophisticated picks for the season
Anklets, once relegated to nostalgic or bohemian styling, have re-emerged as a refined accessory for summer 2025. No longer confined to casual beachwear, they are now appearing in polished iterations—think delicate gold chains, pearl strands, and diamond accents—worn by style influencers and celebrities alike. Hailey Bieber has been spotted layering thin, minimalist designs, while fashion insiders are embracing subtle charms and personalized touches. The trend speaks to a broader shift toward understated yet intentional jewelry, where even the smallest details carry weight. Styling these pieces requires a measured approach. Pearl anklets lend quiet sophistication to linen separates or slip dresses, while gold links—whether sleek or textured—pair seamlessly with tailored shorts and loafers. For evenings, diamond or pavé designs add discreet shimmer, best showcased with bare legs and sleek silhouettes. Meanwhile, personalized charms (Arabic script, understated symbols) offer individuality without overwhelming a look. Below are 15 standout anklets that balance trend and timelessness. Here are our favourite anklet picks of the season The resurgence of anklets reflects a growing appreciation for accessories that merge versatility with quiet luxury. Unlike louder seasonal trends, these pieces work across contexts—from resort wear to urban ensembles—without demanding attention. Designers are responding with options that range from investment-worthy heirlooms to contemporary twists on classic motifs. As summer unfolds, expect to see further experimentation: mixed metals, architectural shapes, and perhaps even high-jewellerry interpretations. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Pinterest

Winwyn Marquez joins Rizal Park flag ceremony as marine reservist, honors Filipino legacy
Actress, beauty queen, and marine reservist Winwyn Marquez proudly wore her uniform once again as she took part in a flag-raising ceremony at Rizal Park in Manila on Monday, August 5 — an event that marked the beginning of National History Month. The event was organized by Salute to a Clean Flag, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting respect for the national flag and historical awareness among Filipinos. In a carousel post on Instagram, Winwyn shared moments from the ceremony, including a striking image of herself standing at attention beneath the towering Philippine flag. 'Proud to wear my uniform again as part of the Philippine Marine Reserve and stand for something meaningful,' she wrote. 'Because our flag is more than a symbol…it's a promise to serve, remember, and stand united.' Winwyn joined fellow armed forces personnel, reservists, health workers, educators, and members of various sectors in the ceremony, which also paid tribute to the late Dr. Alfredo Bengzon. A Ramon Magsaysay Awardee and former Secretary of Health, Bengzon is remembered for his legacy of public service, including the establishment of the National Milk Code, the Generic Drug Law, and his pivotal role in peace dialogues with armed groups. Marquez, who completed her marine reservist training under the Philippine Naval Reserve Command in 2020, graduated at the top of her class. Her commitment to service extends beyond the military — she has long advocated for education, women's empowerment, and civic engagement. While she continues to shine in the entertainment industry, most recently as a host on 'Unang Hirit', Winwyn is also celebrated for being the first Filipina to win the Reina Hispanoamericana title in 2017. Earlier this year, she placed second runner-up in Miss Universe Philippines 2025. Her participation in Monday's event not only reflected her pride in wearing the uniform, but also her continued dedication to honoring Filipino heritage, unity, and public service.
