Actor Ananya Panday recently engaged in a light-hearted exchange with her father, Chunky Pandey, during an episode on filmmaker Farah Khan’s YouTube channel. The conversation arose after Ananya prepared chicken fried rice for the show, which Chunky enthusiastically praised.
In a playful remark, Chunky asked Ananya, “Ananya, why don’t you cook like this every day yaar?” to which Ananya cheekily responded, “Agar aap mujhe paiso do toh mai karungi, we will talk about my pagaar” (If you pay me, I’ll cook. Let’s discuss my salary). The witty reply drew laughter from everyone present.
This isn’t the first time Ananya and Chunky Pandey have showcased their family dynamics on screen. The duo appeared together on the cookery show Star vs Food S2, where Chunky shared amusing anecdotes about Ananya and his wife, Bhavana Pandey’s culinary skills.
Chunky humorously remarked, “She and her mother have never cooked anything for me, but Ananya has cooked up some nice stories and told me, but never food. See Ananya, I don’t blame you if you’ve gone slightly wrong because it’s a hereditary problem, in our family, no one knows how to cook—I mean, especially from the mother’s side, no one knows how to cook.”
While enjoying the playful banter with her father, Ananya Panday is also celebrating the success of her latest show, Call Me Bae. The show, currently streaming on Prime Video, has added another feather to Ananya’s cap, showcasing her talent and versatility as an actress.
The light-hearted exchange between Ananya Panday and Chunky Pandey provides a glimpse into their fun family interactions and highlights their chemistry on and off-screen. With Ananya’s current success on Call Me Bae and their shared moments of humour, the Pandey family continues to capture the public’s interest with their engaging personalities and candid conversations.
