Alana Pandey, known as a popular influencer and YouTuber, recently found herself in a situation that quickly became the talk of social media. Alana, who made her OTT debut with the Amazon Prime Video show The Tribe, is often praised for her fashion sense and unique style. However, a recent video involving her father, Chikki Pandey, has brought attention for a different reason—her choice of attire.
A Father’s Reaction to His Daughter’s Outfit
In a video that has now gone viral, Alana’s father, Chikki Pandey, can be seen reacting to her outfit during a casual family interaction. The clip shows Chikki asking Alana, “Have you forgotten to wear your top?”—a comment that visibly surprises her. Alana, defending herself, responds by saying that her outfit is actually a shirt. The father-daughter conversation continues with Chikki pointing out, “This is not LA, this is Bandra.”
Alana tries to explain that she’s wearing a bralette, to which her father humorously replies, “If it’s a bralette, shouldn’t it cover?” Alana, though taken aback, sits down quietly after this exchange.
Social Media Responds: Desi Dad Vibes?
The video, which was originally shared on Alana’s Instagram, has triggered a variety of reactions from viewers. Many social media users quickly commented on the relatable dynamic between Alana and her father. One user wrote, “Her dad is giving full desi dad vibes!” Another commented, “Every dad in India reacts like this. It’s so relatable!”
Some users supported Chikki Pandey’s point of view, with one saying, “He’s right. You should dress appropriately when around family.” Others felt Alana should take her father’s comment as a lighthearted joke, stating, “It’s just a normal dad comment, no need to overthink it.”
Mixed Reactions: Defenders vs. Critics
Not all comments were lighthearted, though. A portion of the audience criticized Alana’s outfit choice, suggesting that she should dress more conservatively around family members. “Why would you sit in front of your dad wearing something like that?” wrote one user. Others compared her to international celebrities, with one remarking, “Is she trying to be like the Kardashians?”
Despite the mixed opinions, Alana continues to maintain her unique style and personality. She’s known for her bold fashion choices and frequently shares glimpses of her life, style, and work with her followers.
Alana’s Personal Life: A New Journey as a Mother
While the video brought attention to Alana’s fashion sense, it’s also worth noting that she’s recently stepped into a new phase of her life—motherhood. Alana married US-based filmmaker Ivor McCray in March 2023, and the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Edward Ivor ‘River’ McCray, in July 2023.
