Chunky Panday, while speaking to Film Companion’s Anupama Chopra said that he only chose multi-starrer films as they had been working for him. “And then came a time after 1993-1994 that multi-starrer films stopped being made. They just went on to solo heroes, it’s like musical chairs happening, and suddenly the music stops, and I don’t have a chair to sit on, so I was literally out of work,” he said.
Standing up for his daughter Ananya Panday he said, “First of all I’m glad they are calling her a star-kid so that makes me a big star. I’m seeing the positive sides to it. I keep telling her ‘You know exactly how you got here.”
Surprisingly, the actor revealed that he always wanted his daughter to be a doctor, as both of his parents were doctors, and he himself tried but couldn’t become one. He mentioned that when Ananya was 15, she told him that she wanted to get into movies, so Chunky Panday asked her to finish her graduation first.
Well, we like how Chunky has taken this nepotism debate so positively and now is a proud daddy.
