Ananya Panday says ‘Wah Taj’ as she poses in front of the Taj Mahal

Actress Ananya Panday had a “Wah Taj” moment as she soaked in the breathtaking beauty of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Ananya took to Instagram, where she shared a string of pictures from her visit. The actress looked stunning in a mustard yellow and deep blue printed dress as she posed in front of the ivory-white marble mausoleum, which in 2007 was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World initiative.

For the caption, the actress simply wrote: “Wah Taj!”

Ananya added the song “Jashn-E-Bahaaraa” by A. R. Rahman and Javed Ali from the 2008 film “Jodhaa Akbar” starring Hritihk Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She took to her stories section and reposted the pictures she had shared.

Ananya added the caption: “Pictures don’t do this beauty justice. You have to see it to believe it.” The Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1631 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.

Ananya in her stories section also shared a glimpse of veteran star Jackie Shroff and wrote: “Guess who I’m shooting with.”

In the picture, Jackie’s face is not visible, however his iconic plant neck piece with “Bhidu” written on it gives away that the actress is shooting with the veteran star.

The actress will next be seen in “Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri” starring Kartik Aaryan, Neena Gupta and Jackie. The project marks Kartik and Ananya’s second on-screen collaboration after their 2019 release “Pati Patni Aur Woh”. Backed by Karan Johar in collaboration with Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora, “Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri” is likely to reach the cinema halls on Feb.13 next year.

Meanwhile, Ananya with the help of her initiative So Positive in partnership with an NGO, has launched aKindness Curriculum designed for schools across India and said that she feels if kindness is instilled in children from a young age, it becomes second nature to them.

Ananya said, “Kindness has always been at the heart of everything we do at So Positive.

It’s something I deeply believe in-not just as an idea, but as a way of life. I truly feel that if we can instill kindness in kids from a young age, it becomes second nature to them as they grow up.”

She added: “That’s why the Kindness Curriculum is so close to my heart. With everything going on in the world, I feel an even stronger need to help build a generation that’s more empathetic, emotionally aware, and simply... kind.”
