THROWBACK: When Ananya Panday said she hates ‘situationships’ and wouldn’t fake her relationship status for social media: ‘I’m not someone…’

Ananya Panday whose rumors of dating Walker Blanco surfaced on the internet earlier today (August 7th) once spoke about why she avoids speaking about her relationship on social media. While speaking to India Today in 2023, the actress admitted that she hates ‘situationships’. She added, “I don’t like that term only. Also, I’m not on a dating app, and nor do I talk about my relationships on social media. I’m not someone who will pretend to have a different relationship status just for the sake of social media.”

Bombay Times in their report has revealed that after Ananya’s breakup with actor Aditya Roy Kapur, the actress is reportedly dating Walker Blanco who happens to be a former model also working for one of the Ambani properties. The report also denied rumors of Ananya dating cricketer Hardik Pandya after the duo were spotted vibing together at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding.

A source from the wedding told the portal, “Ananya introduced everyone to Walker as her partner at the wedding. She was not even hiding it. There 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.”

Ananya Panday has never made any of her relationships official but the one she had with Aditya for over two years was quite evident in their public appearances and subtle hints. In the India Today interview, the 25-year-old revealed that she is that typical possessive girlfriend who wouldn’t like her partner liking other girl’s hot pictures.

However, this wouldn’t compel Ananya enough to create a ‘finsta’ to stalk him or anyone else per se. When asked if she’s someone who’d create a fake Instagram account for stalking her ex or colleagues, Panday said, “I have my own Instagram account for that. We don’t need a fake account.” Ananya also asserted that she is surely not someone who would ever slide into someone’s DMs.

On the work front, Ananya was last seen making a cameo in Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk starrer Bad Newz. She will be next seen in Vikramaditya Motwane’s movie CTRL which will be released on October 4, 2024, on Netflix.

Later she defeated Ukraine’s Oksana Livach and Cuba’s Yusneylys Guzman Lopez in the semi-finals. This makes her the first Indian woman in the running for a gold medal in wrestling at the Olympics.

Can Vinesh Phogat’s Disqualification Be Overturned? PM Asks Olympics Body

Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, hoping to win India a gold medal at Paris Olympics, received a shock today after being disqualified from her event hours before the final. The reason: she was 100 grams overweight to compete in the 50-kg wrestling event. The news has broke the heart of millions of Indians, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has requested the Indian Olympic Association to explore all options to appeal against the disqualification.

Sources though told NDTV that there is very little elbow room for negotiation in the case once an athlete has failed to meet the basic standards.

PM Modi personally spoke with IOA President PT Usha, seeking firsthand information on the matter and potential avenues for redressal. He instructed PT Usha to exhaust all options to support Ms Phogat’s case, including filing a strong protest against the disqualification if necessary.

Vinesh Phogat, a renowned wrestler and Olympic medal hopeful, was considered a strong contender in the 50-kg category. Her disqualification has sparked widespread disappointment, but PM Modi’s prompt intervention has rekindled hopes for a reversal of the decision.

In a big blow to India’s medal hopes from the wrestling arena, grappler Vinesh Phogat was earlier today disqualified from the 50 kg women’s wrestling event.

Vinesh was scheduled to take on United States’s Sarah Ann Hildebrandt in the Gold Medal match. A statement issued by the Indian Olympic contingent said that Ms Phogat had tipped the scales above the 50 kg mark and was disqualified.

PM Modi also posted a tweet consoling the wrestler, calling her a champion among champions.

“Vinesh, you are a champion among champions! You are India’s pride and an inspiration for each and every Indian. Today’s setback hurts. I wish words could express the sense of despair that I am experiencing. At the same time, I know that you epitomise resilience. It has always been your nature to take challenges head-on. Come back stronger! We are all rooting for you,” the Prime Minister said.
