The pairing of Varun Sood and Ananya Panday has officially become one of the most talked-about duos in the digital space, following a massive announcement at the Prime Video “It Starts Here” slate event on March 19, 2026. Fans have been quick to notice the “next big pairing” energy between the two, which first sparked during the debut season of their hit series. At the star-studded event in Mumbai, it was confirmed that Varun will return alongside Ananya for Call Me Bae Season 2. The upcoming season promises to dive deeper into their on-screen dynamic as Ananya’s character, Bella “Bae” Chowdhary, navigates her new career as a news anchor while dealing with a personal life that the makers describe as “even messier” than before.
The buzz surrounding their chemistry has intensified with the release of the Season 2 teaser, which hints at a complex narrative involving returning ex-husbands and professional rivalries. Varun Sood, who plays the charming Prince Bhasin, has been vocal about his excitement for the sequel, noting in recent interviews that the scripts for the new season take the story to an entirely different level. The production, backed by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, has also added Shruti Haasan to the cast, further expanding the high-glam universe of the show. As the “BehenCode” faces new tests and the romance heats up, the industry is already looking at Varun and Ananya as the definitive modern-day screen pair to watch this year.
