Ananya Panday has been the subject of dating rumors involving former model Walker Blanco.
Ananya Panday has sparked rumors of dating former model Walker Blanco, but during a recent appearance, the actress playfully referred to herself as “mysterious” when asked about her relationship status.
Ananya Panday is currently enjoying the success of her latest web show, Call Me Bae, but it’s her rumored relationship with former model Walker Blanco that often steals the spotlight. In a recent interview, Ananya addressed the rumors about her relationship status, playfully referring to herself as ‘mysterious.’
During an interaction with Zoom, a fan asked Ananya about her relationship status and the traits she looks for in an ideal partner. With a lighthearted tone, she responded, “Ah, mysterious Ananya,” before adding, “So, the first part is gonna be a mystery because as I said I’m a mysterious person.”
When discussing the qualities she values in a partner, the Call Me Bae actress expressed her desire for someone who supports her dreams and lifts her spirits. She emphasized how rare it is to find someone who truly backs a young working woman in pursuing her ambitions, calling it “a very attractive quality.” Ananya also mentioned that she seeks someone who makes her laugh and is a good friend above all else.
Given her popularity on social media, keeping her personal life out of the public eye has proven challenging. Ananya admitted she’s not a private person by nature and struggles with balancing her desire to share her relationships and the need to maintain privacy.
“If I love someone, I am with someone I would like to scream it out from the rooftops and I believe in celebrating relationships and not hiding them, but I also understand that sometimes it’s not fair to the person that you’re with or your partner to kind of expose them to that world if they don’t want to be exposed,” Ananya said.
The 25-year-old actress also shared her belief that when things are kept private between two people, “it can end up being more special,” a notion she frequently reminds herself of.
Rumors about Ananya’s relationship with Walker Blanco began circulating in August, following a report by Bombay Times. The two reportedly met during the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, where Ananya allegedly introduced Blanco as her partner. However, both have remained silent about the ongoing speculation.
Walker, who hails from the United States, currently works at Vantara, an animal shelter in Jamnagar, Gujarat, owned by Anant Ambani. His social media profiles reveal he’s originally from Chicago, Illinois, and now resides in Miami, Florida.
Recently, a video posted by Ananya’s cousin, Alanna Panday, on YouTube gained attention when viewers noticed Ananya wearing a pendant featuring the initials ‘AW.’ Fans quickly speculated that the initials might represent Ananya and her rumored boyfriend Walker.
On the professional front, Ananya was last seen in Call Me Bae and will soon appear in Vikramaditya Motwane’s CTRL, which is set to release on Netflix on October 4.
