The much-anticipated sequel to ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh‘, featuring Bhumi Pednekar and Kartik Aaryan, is reportedly in the works. However, speculation is rife that Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha Thadani, might be stepping into the role previously played by Ananya Panday. Amid these casting rumours, both Ananya and Rasha were spotted at a Mumbai event, where their interaction—or lack thereof—sparked fresh gossip about an underlying tension between the two.
During a recent awards function, Ananya Panday arrived in an elegant black ensemble, exchanging pleasantries with various celebrities. However, her interaction with Rasha Thadani—or rather, the absence of one—became a talking point.
In a viral clip, Ananya was seen turning away from Rasha and engaging in conversation with another guest, seemingly ignoring the young actress altogether. Netizens noted that Rasha appeared to expect at least a brief acknowledgement from Ananya, adding fuel to rumours of a possible rift.
As soon as the video went viral online, one Redditor reacted, “‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’.” Another wrote, “I feel Ananya has a problem with everyone.” Finally, one shared, “If I recall correctly, I think KJo called Ananya out for being insecure about her contemporaries on KWK, so you’re not wrong lol.”
Ananya played a pivotal role in the first instalment of Pati Patni Aur Woh, which was released in 2019. While Kartik Aaryan is set to reprise his role in the sequel, Ananya’s name was conspicuously missing from casting discussions. Industry chatter suggests that Rasha is now the frontrunner for the female lead. Initially, South actress Sreeleela was linked to the project, but recent whispers indicate Rasha may have taken over the part.
