Ananya Panday is celebrating her 28th birthday on Friday, October 30, and her parents have marked the occasion with heartfelt throwback posts that have delighted fans. Actor Chunky Panday and Bhavna Pandey both took a trip down memory lane on Instagram, sharing childhood glimpses of their elder daughter alongside loving birthday messages.
Bhavna shared a video montage featuring Ananya from her childhood, including a conversation between the young Ananya and her father that gave fans a look at the actress before she entered the film industry. Along with the montage, Bhavna wrote: “Happy Birthday my baby girl!!!! Love you the mostest!!!! Born for the camera!!!! Wishing you the most fantastic year!!!! Shine on!!!! You make us proud every day,” according to Bollywood Hungama and IANS.
Chunky’s little big girl
Chunky Panday also marked his daughter’s birthday with a collection of throwback pictures from family trips, capturing Ananya at different stages of her childhood alongside her family. He also shared a photograph of himself with Ananya taken during their visit to Lalbaugcha Raja for Ganpati darshan in Mumbai, writing: “Happy Happy Birthday my Little Big Girl @ananyapanday. Wish You All The Love, Blessings and Happiness in the World.”
The video shared by Bhavna begins with little Ananya being asked by her father where she is going, to which she adorably replies: “Shooting.” In another cute moment, Chunky asks his daughter to call him “Papa,” but little Ananya instead addresses him as “Chunky” and then “Panday,” leaving him amused — a clip fans have shared widely as proof, in Bhavna’s words, that her daughter was born for the camera.
Birthday wishes pour in
The birthday posts drew wishes from several members of the film and entertainment fraternity, with Malaika Arora, Seema Sajdeh, Farah Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Urmila Matondkar, Maheep Kapoor and Amrita Arora among those who wished Ananya in the comments, according to reports. Dharma Productions also wished the actress a happy birthday. Ananya is the elder daughter of Chunky and Bhavna Panday; the couple also have a younger daughter, Rysa Panday.
