Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri: Ananya, Kartik’s ‘Fake Tan’ Look Sparks Meme Fest, Netizens Go ‘Itna Bronzer’
Ananya Panday, Kartik Aaryan’s ‘tanned look’ for Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri goes viral
In the pics, the Dream Girl 2 actress appears almost unrecognisable from the version of herself previously seen in the film’s announcement. Sporting noticeably bronzed skin, the actress is styled with voluminous golden and light brown highlights in her hair, a significant departure from her usual glam image. While it’s unclear whether this sun-kissed look is the result of deliberate makeup or just harsh lighting, online users believe the change was intentional – and they’re not exactly pleased.
Kartik Aaryan’s makeover also hasn’t gone down well with fans. Known for switching up his look in different films, Kartik is seen with a short fade haircut and spiky top, giving off the impression of a mohawk. Like Ananya, he too appears visibly tanned. While actors often experiment with new styles to suit the tone and characters of their films, these particular choices have been met with derision and memes online.
Take a look:
Netizens go ‘itna sara bronzer’
Reddit users haven’t held back. “It is fake tan,” one commented bluntly. Another joked, “Kartik is giving Jethalal hairstyle energy,” while a third added, “Kartik Aaryan looks like a 50-year-old’s idea of what a youngster looks like.” Ananya’s transformation has been labelled “the Deepikafication,” with users drawing parallels between her current look and Deepika Padukone’s aesthetic. Some even compared her to a mix between Ananya and Disha Patani, dubbing her “Ananya Patani.” One of the fans stated, “Itna sara bronzer.’
