Bollywood Actress Ananya Panday and US Model Walker Blanco Split Up
Bollywood actress Ananya Panday and US model Walker Blanco have ended their relationship following a mutual decision last week. The couple originally met during the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in 2024.
Bollywood actress Ananya Panday and US model Walker Blanco have officially broken up, according to recent reports from prominent Indian media outlets including the Times of India and India Today. The couple, whose romance initially drew significant public attention within India, has decided to part ways after a relatively brief time together following their initial meeting in 2024.
According to reports detailing the split, the decision to end the relationship was made last week. Sources close to the situation have clarified that the breakup occurred with the full consent of both individuals, emphasizing that there is no lingering bitterness or animosity between Ananya Panday and Walker Blanco following the separation.
The romance between the Bollywood actress and the American model first began in the middle of 2024. The pair crossed paths during the high-profile pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, the younger son and future bride of billionaire Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani. Following their introduction at a cruise party, sources indicated that they initially became very close friends before exploring a romantic connection.
During the course of their relationship, Walker Blanco's professional ties to India also drew notice. He is professionally employed at the Vantara Animal Park located in Jamnagar, a major conservation and animal welfare initiative established under the auspices of the Ambani family and the broader Reliance group.
Public displays of affection occasionally marked their time together, highlighted by a notable social media message from Walker Blanco. Celebrating a special occasion, the US model posted a public tribute declaring, 'Happy birthday, beautiful. You are very special. I love you, Annie!' reflecting the warmth that once characterized their romance.
This development follows another high-profile relationship conclusion for the Bollywood star. Prior to her involvement with Walker Blanco, Ananya Panday was in a relationship with fellow actor Aditya Roy Kapur, a romance that similarly came to an end earlier in 2024 before her subsequent connection with the Vantara Animal Park employee.
