Ananya Panday has become the target of trolls after her Bharatanatyam fusion dance sequence in Chand Mera Dil went viral.
Author and columnist Shobhaa De has come to the actor's defence, urging trolls to question the filmmakers and choreographers responsible for the sequence.
Shobhaa De said, 'She's not a trained Bharatanatyam dancer, and if you have to call out anyone, shouldn't it be the choreographer and the director? Why target her?'
She also requested the audience to react only after watching the film and understanding the full context.
Ananya's father Chunky Panday also defended her, saying that pure Bharatanatyam requires years of rigorous training and discipline.
