Bollywood actress Ananya Panday recently bought herself a swanky new Range Rover car. The actress was spotted in the city arriving for her gym session in her brand new car. The car had a garland in the front, which is customary among Hindus upon the purchase of a new vehicle.
Ananya has added the Range Rover 3.0 to her garage which already boasts of luxurious cars. Her latest addition reportedly cost her Rs 3.38 cr. However, what grabbed attention was the unique number plate. The number plate ends with 3000, a number that is not usually assigned but allotted on special request. Fans began guessing the reason behind the number. Some wondered if her birth date of October 30 is the reason behind it or some wondered if she is a big Marvel fan (I love you 3000).
When she was spotted by the paparazzi in the city stepping out of her car, she was congratulated by the photographers. To this, she responded with a smile and said, "Thank you."
Meanwhile, Ananya, who reportedly broke up with actor Aditya Roy Kapur, is now rumoured to be getting close to Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya.
Hardik, who was part of India's ICC T20 World Cup 2024-winning squad, also announced his divorce from Serbian model Natasa Stankovic.
Fans of both Ananya and Hardik are gushing over their growing proximity. It was during the sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant when Ananya and Hardik had a gala time dancing together, and several videos of them circulated online. This was the start of the rumours, but the dating speculation further caught fire when the duo started following each other on Instagram. Just after attending the sangeet ceremony and having a blast dancing together, Hardik and Ananya started following each other on Instagram, and this was when netizens started their guessing game.
