Bollywood actor Chunky Panday has been working in the film industry for over 30 years and has appeared in well over 100 films, earning a place in the hearts of audiences. After the OTT boom, he also ventured into the digital space and appeared in a couple of web series, the last one being the Disney+ Hotstar comedy-drama Pop Kaun?, which was created by Farhad Samji.
Meanwhile, Panday has also been making appearances on the Netflix reality TV series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, which focuses on the personal and professional lives of Bhavana Pandey, Neelam Kothari, Maheep Kapoor, and Seema Kiran Sajdeh, the wives of Chunky Panday, Samir Soni, Sanjay Kapoor, and Sohail Khan (divorced), respectively.
Reflecting on a recent encounter, Panday shared a humorous anecdote of being recognised by an air hostess. He, however, said that she had no clue who he was and identified him solely as the guy who appears on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. “Then they made me video call Bhavana. They only knew I was on the show and a husband. They had no clue I was an actor myself,” he said laughing, while on the show Cyrus Says.
He further mentioned that though the show is slightly scripted, the women in focus are pretty much portrayed as they are. “Even though it’s slightly scripted, those girls are like that. You can’t fool the camera for a long time. You can do it for 10-15 minutes and fake out a few things. But if you keep it on me for two hours, I’ll come out in my chaddi,” he added.

He also humorously mentioned that when he’s out with his wife, people often ask him to take a photo of them with her, excluding him from the frame.
“Look at me, I was once upon a time Chunky Panday. Then I became Ananya Panday’s father. Now I am Bhavana Panday’s husband. There are times when we go out and people ask me, ‘sir, can you take a photo of us with your wife?’ And they don’t want me in the photo,” Panday said, chuckling. The actor also revealed that the next season of the show will premiere in a few months.
