Ananya Panday’s ramp walk & pre-show ritual

In a chat with Filmfare, Panday revealed an interesting pre-show ritual she follows before stepping onto the ramp.

“I always listen to Fashion Ka Jalwa before walking the ramp. Today I was watching the match, so I almost didn’t listen to it. But then I listened to the song, because I feel if I don’t listen to it, something bad may happen (laughs),” Ananya shared.

Despite slightly tripping on her pants during the walk, Ananya handled it with poise and elegance and kept her momentum going.
