Actress Ananya Panday dropped a childhood photo with her cousin Alanna to wish the latter on her 29th birthday celebrated on Saturday.
“Happy birthday big sister. Can’t believe you’re a mama. I love you @alannapanday,” the 25-year-old actress wrote alongside the picture shared on her Instagram story.
The photo shows a young Ananya wearing a blue and red checked frock, with pink clips pinning her hair as she gazes away from the camera and smiles. Little Alanna, dressed in a pink frock, is all smiles as she wraps her arms around Ananya’s neck and hugs her from behind.
Earlier in the day, Alanna shared a set of pictures from her pink-themed birthday bash on Instagram. The social media personality looked radiant in a pink corset-fit mini dress and dewy makeup as she posed for the lens with a white birthday cake, wine and flowers. Ananya’s mother Bhavana Panday took to the comments section and wrote, “Happy Birthday my gorgeous girl.”
Alanna and her husband Ivor McCray V welcomed a baby boy on July 8. “Our little angel is here,” Alanna wrote alongside a video of the newborn wrapped in a towel in her arms.
She had announced her pregnancy in February with a dreamy maternity shoot. The couple revealed the gender of their baby on March 20. “Can’t wait to meet our little baby boy 🩵👼🏻🍼,” she captioned an Instagram carousel posted hours after the gender-reveal video.
Alanna tied the knot with Ivor on March 16 last year in Mumbai. “Yesterday was a fairytale, I love you more than anything in the world @ivor can’t wait to start a family with you,” she wrote alongside the pictures from their wedding.
Alanna actively shares glimpses of her and Ivor’s heartwarming moments with their baby boy on Instagram. “Our little family,” she captioned a video capturing the new parents spending quality time with their baby.
On the work front, Ananya is gearing up for the release of her web series debut Call Me Bae. The show, centred on a disowned billionaire fashionista navigating life on her own for the first time, also stars Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra and Mini Mathur.
Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under the banner of Dharmatic Entertainment, the series will hit Prime Video on September 6. Besides this, Ananya will star in Vikramaditya Motwane’s CTRL, which is slated to premiere on Netflix on October 4.
