Ananya Panday Gets a Call from Rumoured Boyfriend Walker Blanco Mid-Event, Her Reaction Goes Viral | Watch

Ananya Panday is back in the spotlight, not just for her films and series but for her rumoured love life. After her much-talked-about relationship with Aditya Roy Kapoor reportedly fizzled out earlier this year, rumours have been swirling about her dating Volker Blanko, a model-turned-animal rescuer currently working at Vantara, the Anant Ambani-owned wildlife sanctuary in Jamnagar.

Adding fuel to the gossip fire, a viral video has surfaced on Reddit showing Ananya seated at an event, casually ignoring a call from none other than Walker himself. The phone screen flashes with his name adorned with a cluster of cute emojis, but Ananya, realising she can’t take the call mid-event, coolly flips her phone upside down. Of course, the internet detectives on Reddit were quick to catch on, with hawk-eye fans already dissecting the video and sharing their hot takes. The video has since gone viral.

According to India Today, the new couple met at the Ambani family’s star-studded cruise party before Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding. Interestingly, Walker is followed by Ananya and her BFFs Shanaya Kapoor and Navya Nanda on Instagram.

Earlier, reports from Bombay Times had revealed that Ananya introduced Walker as her “partner” at the glitzy Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant wedding. “Ananya introduced everyone to Walker as her partner at the wedding. She was not even hiding it. They were multiple people who even saw them dancing together when a romantic song was being played. It is too new for the two to make it official,” a source had told the publication.
