Ananya’s Dance Video Goes Viral.. Faces Heavy Criticism on Social Media!

Ananya Panday has once again become a trending topic on social media after a dance clip from the film Chand Mera Dil went viral online. Produced by Karan Johar and starring Lakshya Lalwani in the lead role, the film is set against the backdrop of Hyderabad. However, more than the movie itself, it is Ananya’s Bharatanatyam-inspired dance sequence that has grabbed public attention and triggered heated discussions among netizens.

Many social media users and classical dance enthusiasts have criticized the performance, claiming that the dance steps and expressions failed to respect the essence of traditional Bharatanatyam. Several viewers questioned whether the sequence represented classical dance or merely a cinematic interpretation. Memes, trolls, and criticism surrounding the clip have now gone viral across social platforms. Director Vivek Soni is also facing backlash, with many emphasizing the need for greater sensitivity while portraying traditional art forms in cinema. Despite the controversy, the film’s team has not yet issued any official response. Trade analysts also note that the movie has underperformed at the box office, though the viral controversy is bringing significant online attention to the film.
