'What a hypocritical bully Ananya is. One of the most vile and fake humans. And now she's doing posts against Sara, trying to pin this whole bullying thing on her when Babil did not even mention her name. Flop Ananya needs to be cancelled soon. We can't tolerate her bullying and nonexistent acting any more. Her theatrical films are all flops still, her pr is trying to make her next big thing lmao…' wrote another.
While the 'Call Me Bae' actress has not reacted to the allegations, she shared a cryptic post on her Instagram not long after the video went viral. She shared a dump of her "life lately" on Instagram. Among the dump was a quote by Hagrid that read, "What's coming' will come and we'll meet it when it does."
The caption read, "Final touches and a little bit of this and that."
In the video, Khan was seen saying, 'What I mean to say is that I just want you guys to know that there are people like Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Pandey, Arjun Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav and even... Arijit Singh? There are so, so many more names. Bollywood is so f****ed. Bollywood is so, so rude."
Not long after, the actor's Instagram profile was deleted.

Their music—a vibrant fusion of jazz, psychedelic rock, soul, doo-wop, and the emerging sounds of funk—captured the euphoria and turbulence of the Woodstock generation. The band's breakthrough came with the 1968 single 'Dance to the Music,' which hit the Top 10 during a week marked by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Their anthems, including 'Everyday People,' 'Stand!,' and 'Family Affair,' became rallying cries for unity and non-conformity, with the phrase 'different strokes for different folks' entering the popular lexicon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The price of dental implants may surprise you Dental Implants | Search Ads Search Now Undo Enduring legacy Sly and the Family Stone released five Top 10 singles—three of which reached No. 1—and three million-selling albums: 'Stand!,' 'There's a Riot Goin' On,' and 'Greatest Hits.'
