As a dedicated follower of Bollywood, I must say that Chunky Panday’s journey has been quite the rollercoaster ride! From struggling as a lead hero in Bollywood to finding success in Bangla cinema and making a comeback in Bollywood with Housefull, he truly embodies resilience.
In this article, we’ve been discussing an actor who faced challenges as a leading man in Bollywood. However, he eventually thrived in Bengali cinema. This actor is also the father of a well-known actress in Hindi films. Interestingly, he’s about to star in a significant project alongside Akshay Kumar. Can you guess who it is? We’re referring to Chunky Panday.
1987 marked Chunky Panday’s first appearance on the silver screen with the multi-talent film, Aag Hi Aag. Throughout his career, he took on supporting roles and second leads in films such as Paap Ki Duniya, Khatron Ke Khiladi, Tezaab, Aankhen, among others. Unfortunately, several of the movies where he was the main character didn’t fare well financially at the box office.
During a chat with Screen magazine in 2024, Chunky shared that he felt overwhelmed or outshone when prominent actors such as Govinda, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and others emerged on the Bollywood scene.
Afterward, Chunky transitioned into the Bangladeshi film industry, starring as the main character in several movies that achieved great success.
In Bollywood, the actor has often taken on smaller, yet significant roles. Notably, he gained much admiration for his portrayal of Aakhri Pasta in the 2010 film Housefull. He continued to embody this character in every subsequent installment of the series.
Recently, Chunky was spotted in the everyday-life movie titled “Vijay 69,” acting alongside Anupam Kher. Currently, he’s been keeping busy with filming for the eagerly awaited “Housefull 5.” This upcoming project stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, and the rest of the cast.
Under the direction of Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, we have Housefull 5, which unfolds its story on a luxurious cruise ship. The film will be making its way to cinemas on June 6, 2025.
Chunky Panday is wed to Bhavana Pandey, and they have two children: Ananya Panday and Rysa Panday. Ananya entered the acting world in 2019 through Student of the Year 2, and some of the films she has been involved with include Gehraiyaan, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, CTRL, among others.
On Instagram, Chunky Panday maintains an active profile where he regularly posts about both his personal and work experiences for his audience. Currently, he has approximately 546,000 followers on this platform.
