Ananya Panday’s tan takes over the Internet: Maldives glow or bronzer blowout?

Mumbai rolled out the red carpet on Thursday night for Aryan Khan’s much-talked-about directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The premiere felt less like a screening and more like a fashion runway. From crisp monochromes to bold statement gowns, the city’s biggest names turned up dressed to impress, giving paparazzi and fans a night of pure style spectacle.

Ananya Panday’s Dazzling Look and the Tan Everyone’s Talking About

Among the many head-turners, Ananya Panday stole the spotlight. She arrived in a one-shoulder silver-white gown that shimmered under the lights, its fine mesh-like fabric hugging her frame with a dramatic thigh-high slit. A thin halter strap curved around her collarbone, lending the outfit just the right amount of drama. Her makeup kept the focus on her natural glow, softly defined eyes, a rosy nude lip, and a warm bronze sheen across her cheeks and temples. But what really set the internet ablaze was the contrast between her glowing face and her noticeably deeper tan on the rest of her body.

Within minutes, Reddit threads lit up. Some users compared her look to the iconic Friends scene where Ross gets an overzealous spray tan, while others speculated if it was just the Maldives sun doing its job. A few even revisited the ongoing chatter about her nose and lips, debating whether she’d gone under the knife again.

Maldives Sun or Makeup Magic?

For those following Ananya’s recent updates, the tan isn’t exactly a mystery. The actor had just returned from a dreamy Maldives getaway, sharing sun-drenched bikini photos, cycling sessions, and snapshots of the island’s glowing sunsets. Whether her golden glow came from the tropical holiday or an extra sweep of bronzer, it certainly became the evening’s biggest talking point.

As the cameras flashed and Aryan Khan’s series prepared to stream on Netflix, the premiere proved to be more than a celebration of his directorial debut. It became a night where fashion, internet chatter, and a sun-kissed mystery collided, setting the perfect stage for the show’s grand launch.

With the Netflix release slated for September 18, the buzz around the show’s dark, edgy theme only added to the anticipation.
