Over the weekend, Ananya made her debut at a prestigious event held every year in Paris called Bal des Debutantes or popularly called Le Bal. And guess who Ananya had for company at this mega event -- Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Philippe!
The high-society event, which was first initiated in 1992, is the traditional debut of 20 boys and 20 girls from across the world who belong to famous families.
The cream crop of the world, ranging from fields such as art, culture, business and politics participate in this event. The young boys and girls represent their background and families in this fundraising event.
The young debutantes are dressed by some of the most famous couturiers around the world. Ananya, who was seen at this high-profile event was dressed by none other than Jean Paul Gaultier for the event.
For the rehearsal of the event, Ananya chose a dress by famous Indian designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. The dress which was a short black and gold number with bouncy hemline flattered her frame perfectly.
Family's pride

Interestingly, Ananya's cousin Ahaan Pandey was also present at the ceremony. Ahaan's mum and fitness expert Deanne Panday shared a picture of the cousins waltzing together.
A celeb already
While Chunky Pandey was a popular supporting actor during the 90's and is best known for his roles in movies such as Tezaab, looks like his daughter Ananya has all the makings of a Bollywood leading lady.
The 18-year-old is already a paparazzi's favourite and is often snapped during her public outings. Ananya is almost always seen in the company of her famous best friend - Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana.
In fact, the girl squad of Ananya Pandey, Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor (Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor's daughter) is the latest young celebrity pack to gather media attention everywhere they go.
Ananya, with the famous company she keeps and her drop-dead gorgeous looks, is already making news. In the past, there were also reports of her making her acting debut opposite Tiger Shroff.
However, there are no confirmations, though dad Chunky has said recently that Ananya would like to get into films.
