Ananya Panday's swipe test ends rumours of fake body tan with bronzer: ‘It is called…’
Ananya Panday confirms her tan is natural, settling the rumours of fake tan after her appearance at the premiere of The Bads of Bollywood.
Ananya Panday recently found herself at the centre of trolling. When the actor attended the premiere of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, her body from neck down appeared several shades darker and more bronzed than her face. Netizens called it out, suspicious that the tan has been artificially applied with body bronzer, which is a cosmetic product that gives a sun-kissed tanned glow without sun exposure.
In a recent video posted by fashion critic Diet Sabya, the actor put all rumours to rest, demonstrating live that her tan is completely natural.
Ananya's test
In the video, Ananya gave a live swipe test for all the trolls, reiterating that her tan is natural. She rubbed a towel against her tanned arms, and it remained completely clean, showing no brown smears or traces of bronzer or any product.
The actor said, “Test of bronzer which y'all are saying that I have put.. there's nothing. It is called going on a good holiday and getting a tan." The swipe test was a clear rebuttal to the accusation of fake tans, leaving no room for doubt for the trolls. It is natural to get a tan, especially in tropical destinations like the Maldives, where she has recently vacationed.
Fan reactions
With the tan, Ananya appeared a few shades darker, and one user appreciated this: “So good to see someone go against traditional notions of ‘white beauty’ and promote a bronzed skin in India.” Other fans hailed her witty comeback, "she’s too funny, yaar!" One user called it a mic drop moment, “Mic drop situation by ACP”
Ananya's Maldives photodump
Ananya shared a photodump from her Maldives holiday on September 13. It included a generous amount of sun-kissed moments, whether it is lounging by the sea in a bikini, morning exploration in tank tops and shorts, or diving into the deep blue sea for scuba diving.
