Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday and Vicky Kaushal, among others, recently attended the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025. A video from the event soon went viral, showing Alia warmly greeting Vicky and a few others seated behind her. However, social media was quick to speculate that she had deliberately ‘ignored’ Ananya Panday, who was seated right beside her. Now, fans have uncovered the truth behind the much-talked-about moment.
Did Alia Bhatt ignore Ananya Panday?
The video from the event showed Alia excitedly walking towards Vicky to greet him with a hug, while Ananya watched as she was seated right next to him. After greeting Vicky, Alia sat beside Ananya but, instead of greeting her immediately, she acknowledged others seated behind her. This led to speculation that Alia had ignored Ananya.
However, fans have now unearthed another video which shows Alia cheerfully chatting with Ananya right after greeting everyone. The two were seen smiling and conversing during the event, effectively putting an end to the rumours.
For the unversed, Ananya won the Best Actor, Series (Female): Comedy award at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025 for her performance in Call Me Bae.
