Chunky Panday defends Ananya Panday amid Chand Mera Dil trolling: “People completely misunderstood it”

Actor Chunky Panday has spoken up to support his daughter Ananya Panday after she faced a lot of negative comments online over a dance scene in her new movie, Chand Mera Dil.

The issue started when a part of the movie went viral on social media.

 In that scene, Ananya's character, Chandni, performs during a college cultural event. The dance combines Bharatanatyam-inspired moves with modern and hip-hop styles. While some people liked the creative approach, many others, especially those who are fans of classical dance, criticized the performance. They said the movements looked stiff and not graceful enough for Bharatanatyam.

The situation got worse because the scene had a big statue of Lord Nataraja in the background.

 Some people thought the sequence was a traditional Bharatanatyam performance instead of a mix of styles.

During an interview with the Times of India, Chunky Panday said that the scene was being looked at without understanding the movie's context.

 "I think people completely misunderstood it. It was never meant to be pure Bharatanatyam. It was a fusion performance, the type of experimental dance you often see college students do at cultural events," he said.

Chunky also explained that the audience was judging the performance based on traditional classical dance standards.

 "People assumed it was traditional Bharatanatyam and started judging it from that lens. But pure Bharatanatyam requires lots of training and years of discipline and precision," he added.

He also talked about how Bharatanatyam is very technical and structured, almost like robotic movements.

 "It's a mix of futuristic, advanced dance forms with elements of traditional dance. It's a creative blend, not a classical recital," he said.

Chunky asked the audience to watch the entire film and understand the context before making judgments.

Ananya Panday has not said anything about the controversy so far.

Tusshar Kapoor says Golmaal 5 shoot is 80-90% complete: “The work I have done with Akshay Kumar sir will be the icing on the cake for my career as well”; reveals Lucky was initially meant to be a silent character

 May 25 is an important date in Tusshar Kapoor’s career. It was the day his first movie, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai (2001), came out 25 years ago. Soon, his other big movie, Golmaal (2006), will celebrate its 20th anniversary on July 14. In a special interview with Bollywood Hungama, Tusshar talked about the Golmaal series and the upcoming Golmaal 5.

In the Golmaal series, Tusshar Kapoor’s character, Lucky, never speaks but makes funny noises.

 This became one of the main sources of humor in the films. When asked how this unique trait came about, he said, "Lucky wasn’t originally part of the story. He was added later, before I got the role. The writer, Neeraj Vora, first imagined him as a silent character. When I was cast, Sharman Joshi suggested I work with theatre actor Vikas Kadam. He advised that instead of being silent, Lucky should make sounds that show he's trying to speak, even if he can't say full words. He said, 'Since he can hear, we can let him make sounds that express his feelings, even if he can’t talk. He can't speak, but he can still make noises.' So, they decided to make him a bit mischievous and even a bit tough!" 

The idea worked, and now Lucky is an iconic character.

 Tusshar said fans often want him to act like Lucky, "Everywhere I go, they only want me to do it!"

Tusshar also shared updates about Golmaal 5, "About 80 to 90% of the filming is done.

 It’s been fun working with my co-stars and the director. Rohit Shetty is the most hardworking director I’ve ever worked with. No one is as serious and professional about their work as he is. He inspires me and all of us. We work day and night, and when we get tired, we realize he was already there when we arrived and will still be there after we leave. He takes breaks, but he never stops working. He’s really fast and very organized. Fingers crossed, and we hope the movie meets everyone’s expectations."

EXCLUSIVE: Tusshar Kapoor says Golmaal 5 shoot is 80-90% complete: "The work I have done with Akshay Kumar sir will be the icing on the cake for my career as well"; reveals Lucky was initially meant to be a silent character

This time, Tusshar Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, and Shreyas Talpade are joining Akshay Kumar.

 His new look, especially his bald style, became a major topic of discussion. When asked what to expect from Akshay, Tusshar smiled and said, "I’m not going to say much. I have a few scenes with him. This is my fifth film with Akshay sir, including Laxmii (2020), which I produced. The work I’ve done with Akshay sir in Golmaal 5 will be the icing on the cake for my career as well!"

Ranveer Singh’s team reacts to FWICE ban over Don 3 controversy: “He has consciously chosen to maintain silence”

Actor Ranveer Singh has finally responded to the ongoing issue about his reported exit from the movie Don 3 after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees, or FWICE, said they would not work with him until the matter is settled. His team released a statement explaining his position and clearing up the confusion that has been spreading online.

The controversy started when it was reported that Ranveer Singh had stepped back from Don 3 just weeks before the film was set to begin filming.

 He was announced as the new lead of the franchise in 2023, taking over the popular action series that was backed by Excel Entertainment and directed by Farhan Akhtar.

After some reports came out, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, the producers, filed an official complaint with industry groups.

 This led to FWICE taking action against Ranveer Singh.

Now, Ranveer Singh's team has made a detailed statement, saying that he has chosen to stay silent throughout the entire situation out of respect for everyone connected to the franchise.

The statement said, "Ranveer Singh respects the film industry and everyone involved in the Don franchise.

 Throughout the recent developments with Don 3, he has chosen to stay quiet, believing that professional discussions and personal matters should be handled with dignity, maturity, and mutual respect."

The spokesperson added that even though there have been many stories and guesses, Ranveer didn't feel the need to get into public arguments or explain every rumor.

"They have not felt it necessary to respond publicly or add to the speculation.

 His focus remains on his work and future commitments," the statement explained.

The team also said that Ranveer still respects all those involved in the Don franchise and wishes the film success.

"He continues to have deep respect and good feelings for all those involved and sincerely hopes the franchise has continued success.

 Choosing to be calm and graceful in these moments has always been a choice he has made, and he will continue doing so," the spokesperson concluded.

This statement has made the discussion about Don 3 even more heated.

 Some fans appreciate Ranveer's choice to stay silent and keep things dignified, while others are still curious about what might have caused the conflict between the actor and the filmmakers.

So far, neither Farhan Akhtar nor Excel Entertainment has made any new comments about the situation.

Ananya Panday’s Chand Mera Dil dance row proves EVERYTHING that’s wrong with social media outrage and context-free trolling

The recently released film *Chand Mera Dil* starts with an interesting setup. Director Vivek Soni has a talent for taking common situations and making them feel fresh and visually engaging. This quality was seen in his 2025 Netflix film *Aap Jaisa Koi*, and *Chand Mera Dil* is no different.

Ananya Panday’s dance performance in *Chand Mera Dil* has sparked a lot of online criticism, highlighting how social media can be unfair and unkind without understanding the full picture.


In the first 15 minutes of the movie, we meet Aarav, played by Lakshya, a student who isn’t very interested in anything.
Then Chandni, played by Ananya Panday, steps on stage for a dance performance. What starts as a traditional Bharatnatyam routine takes an unexpected turn as she adds modern elements, giving it a unique feel. The song "Priya Madhuri" is used in the sequence, adding to the mood. By the end of the performance, Aarav is completely captivated and starts to fall for Chandni.

Unfortunately, this creative and well-done sequence has now become a target for online mockery.
On May 24, a Twitter account posted a short clip of the dance. The video was clearly taken from an illegal pirated copy of the film, and it didn’t provide any context. To truly understand the performance, you need to watch the full sequence from start to finish.

When viewed in isolation, the end of the dance might seem strange.
The poor quality of the pirated copy also makes it hard to hear the "Priya Madhuri" track, which is important to the scene. Some people tried to say that Ananya’s dance was an insult to Bharatnatyam.

Many people jumped in to criticize Ananya and her dance moves.
It was easy for some verified accounts to attack her and make fun of Hindi cinema. These posts get a lot of attention, and the more reactions they get, the more money they bring in.

It’s important to note that the video appeared on Twitter just three days after the film was released.
By then, many reviews and audience reactions were already out. The film had both positive and negative feedback, but none of the harsh reviews mentioned Ananya’s dance sequence as a problem. That’s because people who watched the whole movie understood the context and the intent behind the scene.

This is different from other films, like *Kartavya*, which faced backlash soon after its release on Netflix.
With *Chand Mera Dil*, there was no immediate outrage from theatre audiences. If the dance had truly offended viewers, the conversation would have started on Friday, not after a pirated clip came out two days later.

So, it seems more like an attempt to mock Ananya, Karan Johar, and Hindi cinema as a whole.
This group has been trolling other stars before—like Alia Bhatt’s Cannes appearance and Varun Dhawan’s casting in *Border 2*. Now, they’re targeting Ananya. Tomorrow, it might be someone else.

This constant online bullying has made people in the industry more cautious.
Many artists are now second-guessing their ideas before even trying something new, for fear of being mocked. As a result, filmmakers often stick to safe, tried-and-true stories. That’s ironic, because the same online voices ask, “Why doesn’t Bollywood try something new?”

Ananya’s dance in *Chand Mera Dil* may not work for everyone, and that’s totally okay.
But judging it without watching the full film, without context, and using an illegal clip isn’t true criticism. It’s another example of how social media can discourage creativity by rushing to criticize instead of understanding.
