The Bollywood scene is abuzz with controversy following Ananya Panday’s recent Instagram story. The post has drawn criticism for seemingly targeting Palak Tiwari, daughter of renowned actress Shweta Tiwari. The incident revolves around a photo Ananya shared with Orry, recently embroiled in a dispute after releasing a WhatsApp screenshot. The screenshot shows Palak apologizing to him, to which he responded with a middle finger.
Ananya Panday’s Controversial Post Sparks Outrage
Ananya’s post, captioned “Orry’s never sorry,” quickly spread across social media, sparking a wave of reactions. A user pointed out, “There’s a campaign underway to sideline Palak, who doesn’t have as much industry clout due to her TV background. The tactics being used are underhanded, with nepotism potentially playing a role in this unfair treatment.”
Another comment highlighted the harshness of the situation, stating, “He’s forcing her to apologize publicly for a private conversation. This appears to be more than just Orry; it’s like the entire new generation of Bollywood nepotism (including Shanaya, Ananya, Kushi, and Navya) is behaving like bullies.”
Amidst this uproar, some Redditors brought up Shweta Tiwari’s established fame in the industry. One remarked, “Neither Orry nor Ananya can rival the popularity of Shweta Tiwari. For millennials, Shweta is an icon, and her role in ‘Kasauti’ was definitive for 2000’s television.”
Social Media Erupts Over Nepotism
A further observation was made about the dynamics within the industry: “These entitled nepotism beneficiaries seem to lack humility. If they can treat Palak, who is both talented and attractive, with such disdain, one can only imagine their attitude towards outsiders striving to make it in the industry. Thankfully, social media today allows us to call out such inappropriate behaviour.”
The core of the controversy is a leaked WhatsApp conversation between Orry and Palak, which has been circulating on social media and forums like Reddit. In the alleged chat, Palak is seen apologizing to Orry, who responds dismissively. Palak’s message, referencing Sara Ali Khan, suggests a plea for peace, but Orry’s response demands an apology born from self-respect, not external pressures. The authenticity of this chat remains unconfirmed, but it has certainly fueled discussions about the inner workings and personal dynamics of Bollywood’s younger generation.
