Nepo drama unfolds: Alia Bhatt runs to hug Vicky Kaushal, ignores Ananya Panday; video goes viral

It was a star-studded night filled with glitz and glamour at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025, held on Monday. The who's who of Bollywood turned up to amp up the glamour quotient, putting their best fashion foot forward at the event.

From Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday and Vicky Kaushal to Vikrant Massey, several celebrities were present at the awards night. Several photos and videos from the starry evening have since gone viral.

Did Alia Bhatt ignore Ananya Panday at Filmfare OTT Awards 2025?

In one such clip, Alia is seen running up to hug Vicky Kaushal. Although Ananya Panday was seated nearby, Alia appeared to walk past her to greet Vicky first, before turning around and chatting with others. Ananya later greeted Alia after a while. However, viewers felt that Alia bypassed Ananya to reach Vicky, sparking speculation over whether the moment was intentional or simply an awkward coincidence.

While Alia and Ananya did exchange a few words, they did not hug.

The other clip shows Alia repeatedly leaning towards Vicky to speak to him, while Ananya was seated beside her.

Netizens had mixed reactions to the clip. Many claimed that Alia deliberately ignored Ananya, while others felt she was merely greeting Vicky and that it had nothing to do with avoiding Ananya.

One comment read, "When senior nepo spots junior nepo trying to network: laughs in Gangubai style and walks away. This is better than any OTT show tonight."

Another wrote, "Both are Karan favourites, but Karan is giving more movies to Ananya Panday, so obviously she's not happy."

A third user commented, "Nepo vs nepo drama in 2025 was definitely an unexpected plot twist."
