Ananya Panday’s ‘Auntie’ Tee Steals Alanna Panday’s Baby Shower

Alanna Panday’s baby shower in Mumbai on Thursday felt less like a formal celebrity event and more like a family function that happened to have a very filmi guest list. The influencer, who is expecting her second child with husband Ivor McCray, was surrounded by the Panday family and a handful of famous friends at her parents’ residence.

A playful afternoon, not a posed one

The celebration included games, and one clip from the day has become the moment fans are sharing. Guests split into teams, held a cloth at both ends, and had to pass a baby-sized doll along. Ananya Panday and Aneet Padda teamed up for the relay, and the hand-off went sideways: the doll dropped, and the other players burst out laughing.

That kind of unscripted slip is rarely the part of a celebrity gathering that makes it online, but it is exactly what made this one feel warm. The guest list also included Ahaan Panday, Manish Paul, Kubbra Sait, Karishma Tanna and Tejasswi Prakash.

Ananya’s tee did its own talking

Ananya’s outfit was a low-key nod to the occasion: a white baby tee with the word “Auntie” printed in bold red. The piece is from NORBLACK NORWHITE, and it turned a family label into the day’s most shareable fashion detail. For Bollywood fans, it was a small styling moment that probably sent a few people searching for the brand.

The Saiyaara unit, now on different timelines

The baby shower also put the Saiyaara co-stars back in one frame. Here is where they stand:

• Aneet Padda: made her film debut in Saiyaara with Ahaan Panday, has signed the horror-comedy Shakti Shalini for 2027, and appeared in JioHotstar’s Hunkkaar.
• Ahaan Panday: is working on a film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, and is expected to reunite with Aneet for an untitled Mohit Suri romance.
• Ananya Panday: was last seen in Chand Mera Dil, which released in theatres on May 22.

Why this moment matters

Alanna and Ivor are already parents to their son River, born in May 2024, and the new arrival will make them a family of four. That makes this shower a milestone in a story fans have followed from the couple’s Mumbai wedding on 16 March 2023 to their move into parenthood. For an industry that often runs on staged appearances, a dropped doll and a cheeky tee were a reminder that family moments still land hardest when they do not look planned.
