The persistent dating rumors involving Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur have been circulating for quite a while. Recently, Actor Chunky Panday, Ananya's father, weighed in on these ongoing relationship speculations. During a recent interview, he offered his viewpoint on the reports concerning Ananya's romantic life, specifically focusing on the speculated involvement with actor Aditya Roy Kapur.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Chunky stated, "This is collateral damage, it's bound to happen. You can't prevent it." When questioned about Ananya's potential compatibility with 'The Night Manager' star Aditya Roy Kapur, he referenced her collaborations with other actors like Tiger Shroff in Student of the Year 2 and Kartik Aaryan in Pati, Patni Aur Woh. He spoke highly of the chemistry she shared with them, underscoring how Ananya consistently complements her co-stars. This, he noted, has contributed to her successful journey in the industry, and he affirmed his belief in her good fortune in this regard.

Last month, pictures and videos of Aditya Roy Kapur and Ananya Panday in Portugal gained widespread attention. The pair's outings, including sightseeing and dining at a restaurant, fueled discussions regarding their potential relationship.

Recently, Aditya talked about the viral vacation pictures. "It’s a good thing I am not so much on social media. But definitely, I have heard," the actor told Hindustan Times.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ananya Panday will be next seen sharing screen space with Ayushmann Khurrana in the second installment of Dream Girl.
