Chunky Panday recently shared his thoughts on his daughter Ananya Panday’s relationship with Aditya Roy Kapur and her approach to her burgeoning film career. In a candid interview with Lehren Retro, the veteran actor expressed his liberal stance on Ananya’s personal life and her decision to navigate her career in her own way.
“I mean it’s fine. I think she is 25, she is earning more money than I did. She is free to do what she wants. How dare I tell my 25-year-old daughter what to do,” Chunky stated, reflecting on Ananya’s relationship with Aditya Roy Kapur. The couple has been the subject of media buzz, particularly after being spotted together on various occasions, including vacations in Spain and public events, although they’ve yet to make an official statement about their relationship.
Chunky also touched upon the generational differences in their views on cinema. He admitted to preferring commercial cinema and occasionally sparring with Ananya over her choice of roles. “Mujhe commercial cinema bohot pasand hai…She tells, ‘Papa mein karungi. Lekin first let me establish myself as an actor.’” This exchange highlights the evolving dynamics between parent and child in the context of Bollywood’s changing landscape.
Ananya’s journey in the film industry began with her debut in Student of the Year 2, alongside Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria, and has since taken on roles that have varied in scope, including her latest film Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. Looking ahead, she has exciting projects lined up, such as Call Me Bae, and a yet-untitled film with Akshay Kumar, showcasing her versatility and ambition.
Chunky further shared his pride in Ananya’s accomplishments, not only in securing her first film role on her own merit but also in her academic achievements and the decision to pursue her passion for acting over college, a choice supported by the family.
The interview also revealed Chunky’s openness to modern trends in filmmaking, including Ananya’s participation in intimate scenes, reflecting a broader acceptance of changing norms within the industry. “Yes I am fine with it. I have seen it in Hollywood. There is no harm. You have to accept it,” he remarked, illustrating his progressive viewpoint.
As Ananya continues to carve her niche in Bollywood, it’s evident that she has her family’s unwavering support, empowering her to make independent choices in both her personal life and career. Chunky Panday’s recent insights not only shed light on the dynamics within one of Bollywood’s beloved families but also underscore a message of trust and freedom crucial for the growth of young artists in the film industry.
