Ahaan Panday or Ananya Panday: Whose success makes Chunky Panday happier?

Ahaan Panday made his big Bollywood debut with Aneet Padda in ‘Saiyaara’, directed by Mohit Suri. The film went on to become a box office sensation and went on to earn more than Rs 550 crore globally. But it seems uncle Chunky Panday is the happiest of all.

Recently, filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan visited Chunky’s house for her new vlog with cook Dilip. During the vlog, Farah noticed Chunky’s love for ‘Saiyaara’ and playfully asked why he wasn’t as happy about his daughter Ananya Panday’s success as he was about Ahaan’s.

Farah Khan teases Chunky about his feelings for ‘Saiyaara’

While talking to Chunky, Farah revealed, “I used to have a crush on you when I was young because of your good looks and long hair.” To this, Chunky replied with humour, “I was like Chunky Saiyaara re.”

Farah replied to him, saying, “Saiyaara ki success se sabse zyada khush ek hi aadmi hai (There is only one man who is the happiest about Saiyaara’s success), not even Aditya Chopra, Mohit Suri or Ahaan Panday’s father, it’s Chunky. You have taken it too personally, but Ananya ki success se (with Ananya’s success) you are not so happy.”

Chunky Panday explains his unspoken pride for daughter Ananya

Chunky responded, “No, I am happy about her success too, but I don’t show it. For Ananya, I am a little nervous. Kabhi socha nahi tha Saiyaara itna chalegi (I never thought Saiyaara would run this much) and will become such a big hit. Jab yeh bacche chote the (When these kids were little), tab we used to clap when they talked, threw a party when they started walking and now when they are performing on screen, it’s the happiest feeling.”
