MUMBAI, India – December 11, 2025: Snapchat India hosted the second edition of its flagship event, ‘Snap with Stars,’ transforming the celebration into an exclusive Christmas party for top Mumbai-based creators. The event’s star attraction included Bollywood actors Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, who joined the gathering to celebrate the platform’s creator community and their upcoming movie release.
The intimate party saw both special guests engaging directly with creators, enjoying interactive games, and participating in speed-dating sessions designed to foster genuine connection and collaboration. Both stars were also seen enjoying the unique AR experiences and interactive features available at the venue.
A key highlight of the event was Ananya Panday’s official announcement of her Snapchat debut as a Public Profile, utilizing fun, creative Lenses to share the news with her audience.
‘Snap with Stars’ is Snapchat’s flagship IP, designed as an intimate, closed-door event where select creators spend time with top stars from across the industry. The initiative is built on the platform’s core value of fostering real, close connections and opening doors for co-creation.
Kartik Aaryan “I’ve always had a simple approach to life – be real, have fun, make people smile and never take yourself too seriously. What I like about Snapchat is how easy, quick and in-the-moment it feels, capturing raw moments. Meeting creators today, trying out some fun lenses and celebrating Christmas together genuinely felt like hanging out with friends. I’m looking forward to sharing more of these fun, everyday moments with my community on Snapchat in a way that feels relaxed and completely me.”
Ananya Pandey
“I’ve always tried to stay true to who I am, whether that means being a little goofy, very chatty, or simply sharing the small in-between moments that don’t always make it to the big screens. For me, authenticity isn’t just a word; it is the only way I know how to connect with people. I believe audiences today instantly recognise when something is real, and that honesty is what I value the most. This is why Snapchat feels so right for me. It is a space where I can share moments as they are, without overthinking, and stay connected to my community in the most genuine and effortless way. Trying out lenses, connecting with creators and celebrating Christmas together really made the day special. I cannot wait to share BTS & my unfiltered side through Snaps with everyone!”
