Actor
Chunky
Panday's
daughter
Ananya
Panday
made
her
debut
in
Bollywood
with
Karan
Johar's
Student
Of
The
Year
2
in
2019.
Just
three-film
old
and
she
is
already
being
touted
as
one
of
the
rising
stars
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
Her
actor-father
Chunky
Panday
is
quite
proud
of
her
achievements
and
recently
opened
up
on
her
growing
success.
The
Saaho
actor
recalled
the
time
when
his
father
shared
the
excitement
of
being
known
as
Chunky
Panday's
father.
Chunky
told
IANS,
"Years
before
I
had
become
an
actor,
I
had
very
famous
doctor
parents.
I
was
always
known
as
Doctor
Panday's
son,
naughty
son.
Then
one
day
after
becoming
an
actor
in
1987,
I
remember
my
father
was
in
Delhi
attending
a
heart
surgeons'
conference
and
when
he
was
introduced
on
stage
he
was
introduced
as
Doctor
Panday,
who
also
happens
to
be
actor
Chunky
Panday's
father
and
my
father
was
so
excited."
He
further
continued,
"In
fact,
there
were
no
mobile
phones
then
but
he
called
me
up
on
an
STD
line
and
said
'Chunky,
I
am
very
proud
of
you.
I
have
been
introduced
as
your
father'."

Chunky
told
the
news
agency
that
he
feels
the
same
way
when
he
is
introduced
as
Ananya
Panday's
father
and
called
it
'pure
excitement
and
happiness."
"The
same
goes
now,
I
think
when
I
am
introduced
as
Ananya's
father
anywhere,
it's
pure
excitement
and
happiness.
I
think
seeing
her
success
is
making
me
happier
than
seeing
my
own
success.
When
my
success
was
happening
I
was
too
busy
working.
With
hers,
yes,
I
am
working
but
it
really
makes
me
proud
and
it
is
10-fold
more
to
see
a
child
succeed
at
something,"
IANS
quoted
Chunky
as
saying.
He
added,
"Yes,
I
am
proud
to
be
Ananya
Panday's
dad
and
I
always
want
to
be
known
as
that.
And
I
have
another
daughter
Rysa
Panday,
I
want
to
be
known
as
her
dad,
too."
Speaking
about
Ananya
Panday,
the
actress
will
next
be
seen
in
Vijay
Deverakonda-starrer
Liger
and
Shakun
Batra's
yet-to-be-titled
film
co-starring
Deepika
Padukone
and
Siddhant
Chaturvedi.
