Bollywood actor Chunky Panday recently shared his thoughts on his daughter Ananya Panday’s and nephew Ahaan Panday’s achievements during a vlog with filmmaker Farah Khan. The conversation came up when Farah visited Chunky’s home for a cooking vlog with chef Dilip.
Chunky Panday opens up about his reaction to Ahaan and Ananya Panday’s success: “I’m happy, but I don’t show it”
Why Chunky Was More Vocal About Ahaan’s Success
During the vlog, Farah reminded Chunky of his strong reaction to Saiyaara’s success — “There was only one man who was happiest about Saiyaara’s success … you, Chunky,” she said. Then she asked why his happiness seemed less visible when it came to Ananya’s success. Chunky replied that he was proud of Ananya’s work, but he did not always express it openly. He admitted he felt nervous about Saiyaara’s success: “I never thought Saiyaara would run this much and become such a big hit.” He added that as children, he and others celebrated small steps like walking or talking, and now seeing them perform on screen brought him great joy.
What the Moment Meant
For Chunky, the comparison was never about competition, but about different kinds of pride. He explained that every milestone — from early childhood to leading roles — held significance. While his pride for Ananya was always present, it manifested quietly. With Saiyaara, the success of Ahaan’s film felt like a surge of emotion he hadn’t anticipated.
Wrapping Up
This conversation showed a more personal side of Chunky Panday — someone who supports both his daughter and nephew, even if he expresses his pride differently. The vlog resonated with many who appreciated his honesty about parental pride, expectations, and how success is experienced in different ways. On the professional front, both Ananya and Ahaan continue building their careers: Ananya with her varied roles and Ahaan with the success of Saiyaara. Fans will be watching closely to see what both of them do next.
