'Call Me Bae': Ananya Panday's Debut Series Promises Laughs And Sass

Prime Video's upcoming series, Call Me Bae, is generating buzz with its witty dialogues and unapologetic humour. The trailer hints at a fun-filled journey featuring relatable characters, unexpected twists, and plenty of laughs. Ananya Panday stars as Bae, navigating life's ups and downs with sharp wit. Whether she's dealing with a bumpy auto-rickshaw ride or making clever remarks in a job interview, Bae's unfiltered opinions are sure to resonate with viewers.

One standout moment in the trailer is when Saira (played by Muskkaan Jaferi) tells Bae, "Middle class would be an upgrade ma'am," after her cards are declined at a five-star hotel. This line sets the tone for the series' unapologetic humour and highlights Ananya Panday's character as a mood-setter.

Another hilarious scene features Bae asking Muskkaan about the absence of seatbelts in an autorickshaw. Ananya's deadpan delivery is spot-on, capturing the chaos of Mumbai's streets and the relatable fear of navigating them.

Bae humorously acknowledges her privileged background while poking fun at social media as a form of journalism. Her self-awareness adds depth to her character and provides plenty of laughs.
