At the star-studded first birthday bash of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal's twins, Krishna and Aadiya, Bollywood actress Ananya Panday was seen 'playing' with a couple of snakes and puppies. She later took to her Instagram handle to share photos of herself posing with the snakes and puppies. She captioned the post "My definition of heaven - puppies & snakes .. my two fave animals".
Unfortunately, this did not go down well with the netizens, who accused Ananya of animal cruelty. Rakesh Shetty, a Congress leader, even wrote a letter to the Mumbai Police, demanding strict action and an FIR against Ananya and other celebs present at the party for "demonstrating cruelty against pythons". In response, Ananya quietly deleted two of the four pictures with the snake from her post. But her effort to edit the post went unnoticed, as the caption of the post still remained unchanged.
The Congress leader went one step ahead and also sought action against Shah Rukh Khan, Shanaya Kapoor, Anant Ambani, Isha Ambani and Radhika Merchant for indulging with the snakes. A video of Anant Ambani handing over a snake to SRK and dangling another one around his neck, as well as Shanaya posing with a snake, had gone viral after the party.
Ananya is yet to issue a statement on the criticism. Other celebs who attended the birthday bash included Karan Johar, Kiara Advani, Katrina Kaif, Aditya Roy Kapur, Karisma Kapoor, and others. It was a star-studded affair, which surely will be remembered for a long time.
