Farah Khan, a filmmaker, has admitted to having a love for actor Chunky Panday. She did, however, say that it was fortunate that they did not end up together but did get the chance to work together. On her comedy program, The Khatra Khatra Show, Farah was discussing with Chunky’s actor daughter Ananya Panday.

On Fridays, Farah joins the show as a guest host. In the 1990s, Farah admitted to having a crush on Chunky. She also said that she befriended Bhavana Panday only to work with her then-boyfriend Chunky. Everyone laughed as Farah added, “After working with him (Chunky), I am glad that nothing happened between us. I also thanked Bhavana for getting married to him.”

Farah choreographed songs for the movie Housefull 2 and Housefull 4 in which Chunky played Aakhri Pasta. Farah had previously released an amusing video with Ananya when they were filming the episode. She made jokes about the actor and referenced Chunky’s famous remarks.

‘I’m joking’, to pull his daughter Ananya’s leg. Ananya could be seen getting her makeup done, as she sat dressed in the green room. She was recording a video, introducing herself as, “Guys, I am Ananya Panday.” Farah walked in, surprising her and saying, “Ananya, Ananya, you won the National Award for Khaali Peeli.”

Before Farah could offer them a reality check, Ananya began rejoicing with her makeup crew, and her stylist Tanya Ghavri even praised her. Everyone halted for a minute when the filmmaker utilized Ananya’s father Chunky Panday’s famous phrase “I’m a joking.” Ananya eventually burst out laughing.

Ananya made her acting debut in 2019 with Student of the Year 2 before starring with Ishaan Khatter in Khaali Peeli the following year. She most recently acted with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Deepika Padukone in Amazon Prime Video’s Gehraiyaan. Liger and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan are her next projects.
