Chunky Panday is celebrating another year today. Known for his iconic portrayal of Aakhri Pasta in the Housefull series, Chunky first rose to prominence in the late 1980s. From his debut film Aag Hi Aag (1987), he has consistently captivated audiences with his versatility, chocolate boy charm and charismatic screen presence. His ability to transition seamlessly between intense roles and comedic characters has made him a bankable star. Over the years, Chunky has experimented with roles in films like Tezaab, Aankhen and Begum Jaan, thus, making his place in the entertainment industry.
As the actor celebrates his 62nd birthday today, September 26, let’s look back at the time when Ananya spoke about her father’s resilience and humour and said she wants to grow thick skin like her actor-father, Chunky Panday.
In an interview with THE WEEK’s Salon, Ananya Panday shared valuable lessons she learned from her father, Chunky Panday. Reflecting on his influence, she said, “I inherited the thick skin from my dad, just taking everything with a smile. He is all heart. And he always cracks the joke on himself first. He is like, Every Friday is like a cricket match; you either hit a six or you are going to get out. But there will be another ball after that. He never gives up.”
To mark the special occasion, the actress took a walk down memory lane and picked a gem from her memory trunk. She posted a slew of unseen photos on Instagram stories to wish her father. Ananya Panday also penned a sweet note that read, “Happy birthday, bestie.”
On the professional front, Ananya Panday last starred in Amazon Prime Video’s Call Me Bae. Now, she is gearing up for the release of Vikramaditya Motwane’s CTRL opposite Vihaan Samat. Mark your calendars! The cyberthriller will be available on Netflix from October 4.
Chunky Panday, on the other hand, is all set to reprise his role as Aakhri Pasta in the fifth installation of the popular Housefull series. The movie boasts a star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Fardeen Khan, and Jackie Shroff.
