Ananya Panday turned a year older on October 30, and warm wishes poured in from all corners of Bollywood but trust Kartik Aaryan to make his birthday wish the most hilarious and talked-about one of the day!
The Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri actor shared a behind-the-scenes monochrome video featuring himself and Ananya from their upcoming film’s song shoot — and it’s pure comedy gold. Posting the clip on Instagram, Kartik wrote,“Happy Birthday to the most selfless @ananyapanday 👻 What an announcement 😂.”
In the video, the two are seen sharing their trademark banter on set. Kartik, ever the joker, starts by announcing,“Aaj aakhri din hai on the song we shot have today!” The two then playfully tease each other about whose song it actually is. Kartik jokingly calls Ananya a “selfless co-actor” before breaking into laughter. He then looks at the camera and adds, “Blur kar na isko peeche, blur ho rahi kya?”
(“Blur her in the background — is she blurring properly?”)Ananya, never one to back down, shoots back,“You’ll realise my true value when I’m gone!”Kartik responds with a quick-witted snap of his fingers,“But you have to go first! Ye maine chutki ki tarah usko gayab kar dena hai!”(“But you have to go first! I’ll make her disappear with a snap!”)
The friendly teasing, laughter, and effortless chemistry between the two stars had fans flooding the comments section with laughter and heart emojis.
As if the banter wasn’t enough, Ananya took things up a notch with a cheeky “announcement” that left everyone in splits. “Guys, so today we’re announcing that I’m in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4! I’m Maunjulika — ami Maunjulika chan chan chan!”
The tongue-in-cheek moment sparked an online frenzy, with fans speculating if her statement hinted at a real casting. While there’s been no official confirmation yet, her playful energy certainly stirred up curiosity about the next chapter of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise.
Kartik and Ananya were last seen together in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), and ever since, fans have been waiting to see their chemistry return to the big screen. Their light-hearted camaraderie and effortless comfort with each other as seen in this BTS clip have reignited that anticipation. Their upcoming film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri marks their reunion, and expectations are sky-high. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, who previously helmed Satyaprem Ki Katha with Kartik, the film is set to be a romantic entertainer packed with music, drama, and emotion.
Originally slated for a February 13, 2026 release, the film will now arrive earlier — hitting theatres on December 31, 2025, just in time for New Year celebrations.
From the witty banter to Ananya’s fake announcement, the video gave fans a glimpse of the fun dynamic the duo share both on and off screen. It wasn’t just a birthday wish — it was an accidental mini teaser of the sparkling chemistry fans can expect from their upcoming film.
