On the eve of the release of Kabir Khan's period sports drama Chandu Champion, the makers organised a special screening for Bollywood celebrities. Among those who turned up was lead actor Kartik Aaryan's ex-girlfriend Ananya Panday.

A paparazzo account shared a video of Ananya from the red carpet of the screening on its Instagram handle. Ananya smiled and posed for the paparazzi, donning a casual grey gown with a tiny black sling bag. She waved at the photographers before entering the building. She was accompanied by her BFF and budding actor Shanaya Kapoor. Her father Chunky Panday was also present.

Ananya dated Kartik during the filming of their 2019 film, Mudassar Aziz's romantic comedy Pati, Patni Aur Woh. They broke up soon after, but continued to remain friends. Ananya even called up Kartik during the ‘Hey Karan, it’s me' round on filmmaker Karan Johar's chat show Koffee with Karan season 7. Ananya's mother Bhavana Panday also appeared on the same season and picked Kartik as her favourite ex of Ananya. Ananya recently broke up with Aditya Roy Kapur, whereas Kartik has reportedly remained single since his relationship with Sara Ali Khan during the making of Imtiaz Ali's 2020 romantic drama Love Aaj Kal.
