Chunky
Pandey
too
has
joined
the
bandwagon
of
celebrity
judges.
Along
with
Malaika
Arora
Khan,
he
would
be
judging
celebrity
contestants
for
the
reality
dance
show
'Zara
Nachke
Dikha'
which
has
kick
started
on
Star
One
this
week.
"However,
while
Malaika
has
been
roped
in
as
the
sexiest
judge
on
television,
I
play
the
role
of
a
judge
who
always
has
sex
on
the
mind",
quips
Chunky
Pandey
while
describing
the
show
which
is
being
touted
as
the
'war
of
the
sexes'.
Why
'war
of
the
sexes'?
Because
'Zara
Nachke
Dikha'
has
a
format
which
would
witness
television
actresses
competing
against
the
actors!
While
the
girls
team
comprises
of
Delnaz
Paul,
Mouni
Roy,
Maninee
Day,
Rupali
Ganguly,
Karishma
Tanna,
Jennifer
Winget
and
Sweeni
Khare,
the
all
boys
gang
includes
Ali
Asghar,
Amit
Tandon,
Bakhtiyar
Irani,
Manish
Goel,
Chaitanya
Chowdhury,
Vikas
Sethi
Gaurav
Chippra
and
Amey
Pandya.
"It
is
sheer
fun
to
be
sitting
out
there
and
being
witness
to
such
fabulous
performances.
Also,
thankfully
it
would
be
a
happy
outing
overall
since
till
the
very
last
episode,
there
won't
be
any
elimination.
I
always
like
to
have
fun
on
and
off
the
screen
and
thankfully
the
show's
format
allows
me
to
be
my
witty
self",
says
Chunky
who
is
thoroughly
enjoying
a
new
phase
of
his
career
where
he
would
be
seeing
more
than
half
a
dozen
films
of
his
releasing
over
next
few
months.
However,
coming
back
to
the
show,
what
really
attracted
him
to
get
into
the
garb
of
a
judge?
"Let's
be
realistic
here;
things
have
changed
since
I
made
my
big
screen
debut
close
to
two
decades
back",
Chunky
gets
serious
here,
"At
that
time
television
was
'just'
a
medium
for
entertainment
with
2-3
programs
calling
for
attention.
Today,
it
is
a
huge
arena
out
there.
You
have
to
be
on
TV
if
you
are
looking
at
enhanced
visibility.
I
don't
see
any
harm
there
at
all.
And
lest
one
forgets,
I
was
one
of
the
pioneers
of
appearing
on
TV
years
back
when
stars
shied
away
from
doing
so."
Errr,
when
exactly?
"Remember
'Superhit
Muqabla'
when
you
were
a
kid
and
wanted
to
watch
something
different
from
those
routine
Wednesday/Friday
'Chitrahaar'",
says
Chunky
with
mock
amusement,
"This
was
the
time
when
Metro
channel
was
launched
and
I
was
roped
in
as
a
host
for
'Superhit
Muqabla'.
While
Baba
Sehgal
kick
started
the
show,
I
too
hosted
close
to
20
episodes
out
of
the
100
odd
ones
that
had
gone
on
air."
Yes,
one
does
remember
that
now.
So
how
is
he
finding
his
stint
as
a
judge?
"Well,
as
I
said
earlier,
'Zara
Nachke
Dikha'
is
an
interesting
concept
with
Adam
fighting
against
Eve.
And
the
one
who
is
having
maximum
fun
is
me.
I
have
hosted
TV
shows
in
the
past
but
being
on
the
judge's
chair
gives
you
a
different
high
altogether.
And
mind
you,
Malaika
sitting
next
to
you
is
always
an
added
bonus",
winks
Chunky.
On
the
movie
front
too,
Chunky
has
a
lot
to
look
forward
to.
His
upcoming
releases
are
Daddy
Cool,
Sankat
City,
Paying
Guest,
Khalbali
Hai
Khalbali
and
Hello
Darling.
