Last updated on: March 20, 2024 01:27 IST

From the nepo kid targeted by trolls on social media to an actor who's learning to prove her mettle, Ananya Panday has come a long way.

In 2023, Ananya joined Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kajol Devgan and Shraddha Kapoor as a Lakme brand ambassador.

On Sunday, the 25 year old walked for internationally-acclaimed Designer Rahul Mishra at the grand finale of India's biggest fashion event, the Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI 2024.

Rediff.com's Hitesh Harisinghani and Afsar Dayatar captured the stunning show, which was held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
