Mumbai Oct 29 (NationPress) Bollywood star Ananya Panday is buzzing with enthusiasm as she prepares to celebrate her birthday on 30th October. She has been delighting her fans by posting various stories on her social media platforms showcasing her pre-birthday festivities.

In one of her stories, Ananya can be seen holding a scrumptious chocolate cake adorned with her name. The cake is lit with candles while someone lights it up. The ambiance appears to be from a film set. She captioned it, “Perks of shooting close to your birthday: many, many cakes on the set.”

In another delightful post, Ananya shared a snapshot of a gorgeous chocolate cake situated in the gym. She humorously stated that having cake at the gym should be 'illegal,' with gym equipment visible in the background. Her caption read, “Birthday cake at the gym should be illegal, right? Love it.” In a third post, she was spotted at the gym table with a petite chocolate cake before her, dressed in a navy blue workout outfit, eyes shut as she made a wish before blowing out the candle.

She captioned this moment, “Totally wished I got a pull-up this year.” In her final story, Ananya posted a selfie wearing a white face sheet mask and a light grey hoodie, brimming with excitement for her birthday.

The actress appears to be both relaxed and eager for her special day, saying, “My birthday is tomorrow. I am just very excited. Please wish me tomorrow also.” Her mother, Bhavana Pandey, shares in her excitement, recently posting a nostalgic childhood photo of Ananya on social media. In the image, a young Ananya, likely 7-8 years old, is seen enjoying a small car ride at a game zone. Bhavana affectionately wrote, “My cutie's birthday is coming up.”

Ananya re-shared her mother's post, adding a flying kiss emoticon. The bond between the actress and her mother is incredibly close, resembling that of best friends. Recently, during Diwali, Ananya wore her mother’s designer outfit from 20 years ago and earrings given to her by Chunkey Pandey's mother.

On the professional front, Ananya, who made her Bollywood debut with Student of the Year 2, recently starred in her OTT debut series, Call Me Bae, produced by Karan Johar. She has also appeared in films like Dream Girl 2, Liger, and Pati Patni Aur Woh.
