Actor Ananya Panday is facing heavy trolling online after a clip of her performing Bharatanatyam fusion in Chand Mera Dil surfaced on social media.
The performance quickly sparked debate, with many slamming her dance moves and questioning the fusion take on the classical form.
Amid the ongoing backlash, actor Ridhima Pandit has now joined the conversation and seemingly taken a dig at Ananya over the viral performance clip.
Ridhima Pandit took to the comment section to diss Ananya, writing, "Guts" with two crying emojis.
Ananya's father and actor Chunky Panday came forward to defend her amid the criticism, stating that the performance was meant to be a fusion of futuristic and traditional dance forms.
He added that pure Bharatanatyam requires years of rigorous training and precision, and that Ananya's performance was a creative blend, not a classical recital.
Chand Mera Dil is a film helmed by Vivek Soni and backed by Dharma Productions, set against the backdrop of an engineering college.
