Viral Video Fuels Rumours Of Alia Bhatt Ignoring Ananya Panday, Fans Uncover Full Story
A viral clip from the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025 sparked rumours that Alia Bhatt ignored Ananya Panday, but a second video showing the two chatting has now put the speculation to rest.
Several Bollywood celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday and Vicky Kaushal, marked their presence at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025, but it was a brief moment from the ceremony that ended up dominating online conversations. A short clip from the event went viral, with social media users speculating that Alia had deliberately overlooked Ananya, who was seated right next to her. The truth behind the moment, however, paints a very different picture.
What actually happened at the event
In the viral video, Alia is seen walking towards Vicky Kaushal and greeting him warmly with a hug. Ananya, seated beside him, watches the exchange. After acknowledging Vicky, Alia takes her seat next to Ananya but turns around to greet a few people sitting behind her, prompting netizens to claim that she had ignored Ananya altogether.
