Ananya Panday's new web series, Call Me Bae, now on Prime Video, is stirring the pot. This show, which charts the highs and lows of Bella Rajwansh, played by Ananya herself, serves up a cheeky blend of opulence and satire. But here’s where it gets juicy: could the ballroom dance sequences be tipping their hat to iconic moments from Bridgerton and The Vampire Diaries? Yep, the series isn’t shy about poking fun at celebrity culture and extravagant weddings. And those ballroom scenes? They seem to borrow a page from Kate Sharma and Lord Anthony Bridgerton's (famously known as Kanthony) high-society waltz or Damon Salvatore and Elena Glbert’s (famously known as Delena) iconic dance moves. It's a bit of a cultural mashup, blending snarky commentary with familiar visual flair. Whether this dance homage is a nod to these beloved series or just a stylish coincidence, it’s adding a sassy twist to Bella's journey. So, what do you reckon? Is Ananya channelling a bit of that Bridgerton-Vampire Diaries magic, or is it all just a glamorous fluke? ‘Call Me Bae’: From Walking Down the Aisle to Varmala Exchange, Ananya Panday Recreates Kiara Advani–Sidharth Malhotra’s Wedding Moments in Her Prime Video Series (Watch Video).
