Rumours of Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur dating have been doing the rounds for some time now. Over the weekend, these rumours only gained momentum after the stars walked for celebrity designer Manish Malhotra at Lakme Fashion Week. After the grand finale, Ananya and Aditya also posed for a bunch of images. In the photos shared on social media, Ananya and Aditya are dressed in stunning Manish Malhotra ensembles. With their arms around each other, the two look oh-so-lovely. Sharing the images, Ananya said, “Fun!” and tagged Lakme Fashion Week. Replying to the post, Shweta Bachchan Nanda wrote, "Smoke show." Ananya's mother, Bhavana Pandey dropped a bunch of fire and red-heart-eye emojis. Ananya's cousin Alanna followed suit.
Reports of Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur dating first began after Karan Johar hinted at something to that effect during the latest season of Koffee With Karan. Speaking to Ananya, the filmmaker said that he saw the two [Ananya and Aditya] dancing and chatting at his 50th birthday party. “I saw you at my party... What's brewing between you and Aditya Roy Kapur?" asked Karan Johar. While Ananya did not elaborate, after much prodding she said: "I find Aditya Roy Kapur hot."
Not too long ago, Aditya Roy Kapur also travelled to Qatar to watch the FIFA world cup with Ananya Panday and her gang, including her father Chunky Panday, Sanjay Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor. Eagle-eyed fans even caught a glimpse of Aditya Roy Kapur in one of the videos that Sanjay Kapoor shared from Qatar. “Never dreamt that I would be there in the stadium and watch Messi scoring a goal in a World Cup semi-final, what an unbelievable moment to watch this with 85k Argentinians fans all screaming Messi Messi," Sanjay Kapoor said, sharing the video.
On the work front, Ananya Panday – last seen in Liger – will play the lead role opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in Dream Girl 2. She is also part of Kho Gaye Hum Kahan alongside actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav. Aditya Roy Kapoor, meanwhile, headlined the web series The Night Manager.
