Actress Ananya Panday won the Best Debut trophy at the Filmfare Awards earlier this year and was supported by her mother Bhavana Panday. However, his father, actor Chunky Panday was not by his side. On the recently released Netflix reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, Chunky opened up about why he didn’t join her for the big day of his life.
In the final episode of the season, Chunky is seen holding Ananya’s trophy while talking to Bhavana at his house. “Bhav 34 years, and finally comes home,” he tells her. Chunky later told him that he was also nominated by Tezaab and Aankhen. When he was nominated for Tezaab, he was filming for a movie with Sanjay Dutt in Goa and began to assume that he would win. “When you are young, you start to think that there is no one better than you in the world… I stopped the shooting in Goa, I flew to the Centaur hotel. When they said, ‘Now an actor in a supporting role’, the names started … ‘And the winner is’ … I got up, I was a bit far from the stage, I thought let me get to the stage before they give it to someone else. I started walking … ‘He goes to Anupam Kher for Vijay’. Oh god Bhavana. I kept walking, went to the bathroom and never came back, “he said.
When Bhavana says that he should have come to Guwahati, where the awards were held this season, he said, “I feel like I’m cheated when it comes to awards. If I go to an awards function, we may not win the award. She won’t win it … I never won an award, ”he said. Bhavana said that he was being too superstitious, but maintained, “After 34 years, you will become a little superstitious.”

Ananya won the award for her film work Student of The Year 2 and Pati Patni Aur Woh. She has also acted in Khaali Peeli and will now be seen in Shakun Batra’s upcoming with Deepika Padukone and with Vijay Deverakonda in Fighter.
Previously, Chunky told the Hindustan Times in an interview how he was unable to maintain his success. “Failure is easy enough to handle because no one is looking at you. Success is difficult to maintain and not everyone could handle it. I could not maintain my success. I had a great streak. In 93-94, everything came to an end and I had to go to Bangladesh and work there. Talent will always want to work ”, he had said before the release of Abhay 2.
