Chunky Panday Defends His Daughter
While Ananya is yet to react to the trolling, her father and actor Chunky Panday, while talking to ETimes, said, “I think people completely misunderstood it. It was never meant to be pure Bharatanatyam. It was a fusion performance, the kind of experimental dance you often see college students perform at social or cultural events.”
He further said,  “This is a fusion of futuristic, advanced dance forms with elements of traditional dance. It’s a creative blend, not a classical recital. I would request people to watch the film and understand the context before reacting.”
