Ananya Panday Celebrates 27th Birthday Amid Rising Career Success
Ananya Panday celebrates her birthday today, October 30, turning 27. The actress appears to be enjoying a successful streak in her career since her debut in *Student of the Year 2*.
Her most recent appearance was in *Kesari Chapter 2*, where she starred alongside Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan. The film is a dramatized retelling of historical events and claims to be inspired by true stories. It is based on the life of Sir C. Sankaran Nair, a prominent Indian lawyer and nationalist. Ananya’s performance was well appreciated by both fans and critics alike.
### Ananya Panday’s Unique Methods to Ward Off the Evil Eye
Despite her thriving career, Ananya also follows traditional methods to ward off the *buri nazar* (evil eye). In typical Indian fashion, mothers often use their own rituals to protect their children from negative energies. Ananya’s mother, Bhavna Panday, follows a special ritual for her daughter’s protection.
In a Netflix video, Ananya revealed that her mother puts two black dots behind her ears every day to safeguard her from the evil eye.
### Adding Humor to the Tradition
Highlighting the lighter side of this tradition, Ananya said,
“My mom put two black dots behind my ear before I came here. Everyone thinks I don’t shower or have something dirty behind my ear, but my mom keeps putting it again and again.”
### An Extensive Nazar Cleansing Ritual
The actress also shared that the rituals don’t stop there. She undergoes a *nazar* cleansing ritual weekly.
“I take out my nazar every week. The help at my house does the mirchi thing. You know the mirchi thing? So, if it smells a lot, it means you have nazar. If the mirchi burns a lot, you have nazar,” she added with a laugh.
Although Ananya admits she doesn’t fully understand the science behind these customs, she willingly participates in her mother’s safeguarding traditions.
### What’s Next for Ananya Panday?
As she celebrates her birthday, Ananya is keeping busy on the professional front as well. She will next appear in *Tu Meri Main Tera* alongside Kartik Aaryan, set to release on December 31, 2025.
She is also slated to star in *Chand Mera Dil*, a romantic drama co-starring Lakshya, scheduled for release in 2026.
With a promising lineup and strong fan support, Ananya Panday continues to carve a successful path in the film industry.
