Internet divided over Karan Johar’s back pat moment with Ananya Panday, video goes viral

An old video featuring Karan Johar and Ananya Panday has resurfaced online and triggered debate among social media users. The clip is from an earlier event where the makers had announced the second season of Call Me Bae. While the video is not recent, it has gained traction again, with viewers questioning a brief interaction between the two.

In the clip, Karan is seen patting Ananya on the back during the event. The gesture is followed by Ananya turning towards him and smiling, before both of them pose for the cameras. While the moment appears brief, it has been widely circulated with different interpretations. Some users have suggested that the gesture looked unusual, leading to mixed reactions online.

One user who shared the video wrote, "Look like Karan Johar make Ananya Pandey uncomfortable." Another comment that gained attention labelled the filmmaker as "Tharki Budhdha." These responses have added to the ongoing discussion, with several others debating whether the moment was misread or taken out of context.

At the same time, there has been no official clarification from either Karan Johar or Ananya Panday regarding the viral clip. The absence of a response has further fuelled speculation, though there is no confirmed information about the intent behind the gesture. Observers have pointed out that such clips, when taken in isolation, can often lead to varied interpretations.

Despite the online chatter, it remains unclear what exactly transpired during the moment captured in the video. There is no verified account suggesting discomfort from Ananya’s side. The discussion largely continues to be driven by social media reactions rather than confirmed statements.

Meanwhile, the focus also remains on the upcoming season of Call Me Bae, which is expected to stream soon. The show will see Ananya return as Bella Bae Chowdhary, navigating her personal and professional life in Mumbai, alongside new characters and evolving storylines.
