Ananya Panday’s Chand Mera Dil dance clip sparks Bharatanatyam debate and massive trolling

Ananya Panday is facing massive online trolling after a dance sequence from Chand Mera Dil went viral. Social media users criticised the performance, with many accusing the film of misrepresenting Bharatanatyam and mocking the use of a Nataraja idol in the backdrop. While some called the backlash excessive, others defended the criticism as a conversation about respecting classical Indian art forms. Amid the controversy, the film continues to see steady box office growth over its opening weekend.
