In Nikhil Thampi
While at a soirée last evening, Ananya was photographed in a Nikhil Thampi mini, one that she teamed with a pair of ankle-strap sandals. Props to Ananya for faring better than most others would in this look. That said, we weren’t fans of it… Can I just say Tacktastic?!!

So just because you join Bollywood, do the parents stop monitoring what their kids wear? Don’t they have say? Or do stylists and PR completely take over their lives? This is not policing or regressive thinking. The look borders on indecency and that too for a young girl. Tacky is too mild a word.
I am 22.
I wear such dresses. She is the same age.
If you can carry it well, where is the harm? And not that she is looking indecent. It is suiting her body type and she manages to look graceful.
Noo she’s 19.. still a teen.. there’s something really abnoxious when a stylish tries to sex up a sweet looking girl … not a fan of dress..I guess she was the only one dressed up inni such short weird clothes in that party..
actually she is 21 this year. what she is wearing is decent compared to what people in my country wear during the summer
She is an adult, man! Cut her some slack.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the choice of her dress? Everybody in clubs are wearing those kind of dresses! And the party she was attending, it wasn’t an award show or a formal event either.
Of course!Her confidence in wearing this should receive lot of appreciation.
It takes courage to chose the tackiest outfit and then rock it too.
to echo a previous person’s point, what is this need bollywood’s stylists have to over sexualise these young girls in their appearances? Yes, they’re young, fit and should of course show skin if they wish but really is this necessary? There’s a difference between showing skin because you’re confident in your own and feel self-assured and showing skin for the sheer sake of it because you think that’s the only way to command attention to yourself. This dress has clearly been designed to be as naked as possible from the ridiculous half boob crap going on to the dangerously high slit (not to mention the obvious Versace ‘reference’)…..honestly we always blame the stylists but can’t these girls speak up for a change and have that much confidence in themselves to believe they don’t need to display everything in a cut-out body con outfit which is no work of art to begin with in order to look good? Or can’t the mothers say something, I know every girl has the right to dress the way she wishes but with the younger crop when they dress like this you do wonder whether there’s any parental input or if they simply encourage such dressing thinking it’ll somehow propagate their young daughter’s fame factor? Sad, if you think of it and kind of disturbing..
Hey folks, why put it on the mothers???? Get a grip folks. Comment on individuals but it’s revoltingg to drag their mothers into this. Why is there no mention of fathers!!! And frankly, if these folks are adults, save the parents the criticism!!
Seriously! Maa behan pe matt aao yaar. Keep it civil – comment on the dress and makeup, move on. No need to bring character/ intention into this.
Jeez!
Come to think of it, a 100 years ago someone your age may have made the EXACT same comment about whatever you are wearing right this moment.
what have they done to her!!…such a cute girl in a tacky outfit
The side split just takes the cake.. you can get on board with the rest but that final detail gives it the firm hallmark of tacktastic…!
Hot tacky mess! Why are the young, to be actors/stars dressing like this? There is very little youth or youthful innocence left :/
Why girl why?? You are a natural beauty.. Don’t join the herd of tacky dressers
Oh kid! Why did you do this to yourself?
Oh a side note, the enire Gen-Next of Bollywood, with all heart and soul, truly believes in “More skin show= more pretty”.
On another side note, seems she directly came from the sets of SOTY2. :p
I am appalled that someone designed this and then someone had the audacity to wear this. It’s beyond tackstatic.
Really? She really wore this? Like actually wore this to a party? SMH
She looks like a background dancer in a k jo movie …the new age Nepo gang take tackiness to whole new level…..if Chunky Pandey humour takes human form this is how it would look.
It looks like a glorified swimsuit and she is only 19 years old!
Ugh, real tackfest. Trying too hard I’d say.
Don’t sneeze….
Why would a kid dress in such revealing clothes?
Yikes!!! That is a definite wthey look!
How do you sit or walk in something so ridiculously designed?
My first reaction was honestly ‘poor girl’. am really not comfortable with a young girl exposing so much.
Another one bites the dust. This is cheap – bordering on vulgar
Trashy + Tacky . Period.
the dress is so trashy
I do not like the dress at all, but am surprised at the comments. “I am no one to judge, but I am going to judge and say hawwww”. People, calm down! You like the dress or you do not. Let her have her life, even if she chooses to have a public one.
I am relieved. Really relieved that sass and sensuality and even plain good old ‘hotness’ has really nothing to do with an outfit or half an outfit or a quarter of an outfit. It all comes from the eyes …. the ada, how one carries oneself. This young lady’s face is blank. Eyes vacuous, body language ….. limp. If this dress was on a mannequin, it might still have been more attractive. Where can one buy personality ? What is that price tag?
I cannot wrap my head around overtly sexualized teen girl looks.. This girl is probably 16 or 17. WTF was the stylist thinking? More importantly, How did her parents let this happen?
Pathetic! These people can go to any extent to grab attention.. It doesn’t matter to them if it’s in a negative way
In the second pic she looks so much like that chick from secret superstar. About the outfit the less said the better. Such a tackfest the new lot is!
Teenage Bollywood chicks (or at least their stylists) seem devoted to ape the dressing sense of Kendall Jenner et al…
I consider myself an open minded person and don’t try and judge. But this appearance is just disturbing. I see a child in this ridiculous outfit and I can’t fathom if it’s the high expections on her or juts misguided advice that she’s stepped out in this outfit.
Am I the only one wondering who she is?
Chunky Pandey’s daughter being groomed by KJo
Moral police is out in full force on a fashion blog!
I have only one word for this look ……sad !
Really disturbing to see a young girl being sexified so blatantly to grab eyeballs. I’m not a prude by any standard but this is just sad and disturbing. Bollywood is a dark place.
funny how u never use the word tacktastic for malaika when she is in clothes far more baring… I feel Ananya pulls this off . and she is generally more simply dressed as compared to Tara Sutaria or Jhanvi..
I’m imagining the dress with the same LHS as RHS =p.. she’s cute despite that uncomfortable dress.. did Malaika wear something very similar in brown recently..
She is doing what any teen would do. She is looking fun comfortable and also sexy. Haters please excuse.
Yikes that’s a bad bad outfit.Like from a d grade bollywood movie where the gangsters moll is dressed in weird outfits with cutouts everywhere to show maximum skin.I can’t believe her parents let her go out like this
Kylie Jenner is the same age and wears similar dresses every day and is lauded for her dressing and hotness. The girl is emulating her. It’s how the world is. No need to overreact. As long as she is carrying it well it should be good and it’s her choice in any case.
Some of the responses on this page are mind boggling. Judgemental much??
She has the confidence to carry her outfit. She looks lovely. It’s never about the dress but about the confidence in carrying what you wear.
If you don’t like, then you don’t wear it. She seems to be a lovely & confident girl, please let it be.
P&P it’s kind of disappointing that you would call such a young girl who is figuring it out tacktastic. Really ??
Please re-read. Priyanka is saying the dress is Tacktastic.
The dress is tacky. If it were a one shoulder mini without all the unnecessary slits it would look so much better.
It grabbed eyeballs in the worst way possible but in Bollywood all publicity is good publicity.
