Ananya Panday’s Chand Mera Dil dance row proves EVERYTHING that’s wrong with social media outrage and context-free trolling

The recently released Chand Mera Dil begins on an interesting note. Director Vivek Soni has a knack for taking familiar situations and executing them with a certain freshness and visual imagination. One saw glimpses of this quality in his 2025 Netflix film Aap Jaisa Koi , and his latest outing, Chand Mera Dil, is no exception.
