Bollywood actress Ananya Panday faced social media criticism after attending “The Ba**ds of Bollywood” premiere in Mumbai, where users accused her of using fake bronzer.
Critics claimed her body tan appeared “several shades darker” than her face, sparking debate about whether the glow was real or artificial.
Ananya, who recently returned from a sun-soaked vacation in the Maldives, decided to address the speculation with humor and confidence. In a video shared by fashion critic Diet Sabya, she performed a “live swipe test,” rubbing a clean towel against her tanned arms to prove her tan was natural from her recent beach holiday.
“Test of bronzer which y’all are saying that I have put… it’s nothing. It is called going on a good holiday and getting a tan,” Ananya said with a laugh.
The light-hearted yet firm response instantly won internet approval, with fans praising her for handling the trolling gracefully.
