Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Ananya Panday and Walker Blanco have ended their relationship after dating for over two years, according to a source quoted by ETimes. The source said it was Ananya's decision to end things last week, but the breakup was mutual and there are no hard feelings. Neither has officially commented. The pair were first linked in July 2024 at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding in Mumbai. Walker confirmed the relationship publicly in a birthday post for Ananya in October 2024, writing 'I love you Anniee.' Ananya had earlier dated actor Aditya Roy Kapur. Walker, a former model from Chicago, remains connected to Bollywood circles.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both outlets report the breakup identically, attributing it to ETimes and framing it as mutual with no hard feelings. NDTV adds an old interview quote from Ananya on love, which Freepress Journal omits, but neither outlet adopts a slant. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no disagreement. The absence of official confirmation from either party leaves the timeline in question: the story moves only when the couple or their representatives issue a statement.
