Ahaan Panday once denied being related to Chunky Panday and his comment raised many eyebrows.
Chunky Panday has very vocally supported Ahaan Panday’s debut.
Ahaan Panday has become the talk of the town after the release of his debut film, Saiyaara. Of all the star kids who have made their debuts recently, Ahaan Panday is being touted as the next big superstar. Following the footsteps of his uncle Chunky Panday and cousin Ananya Panday, Ahaan Panday is all set to make his mark in Bollywood. Amid this, an old comment of the actor denying his ties with Chunky Panday has resurfaced.

In 2017, a 19-year-old Ahaan Panday took to his Instagram Live to interact with his fans. However, when someone asked him about his uncle, Chunky Panday, Ahaan was reportedly irked. According to SpotboyE, Ahaan said, “It’s funny that my surname is Panday, but I’m nowhere connected to him. My dad is Aloke Sharad Panday, and that’s the only Panday connection I have. I have established myself in the B-town through my popularity.”
Ahaan’s comment raised some eyebrows back then as his father, better known as Chikki Panday, is Chunky Panday’s younger brother. Ahaan Panday is indeed Chunky Panday’s nephew. It is unclear if Ahaan’s denial was linked to a family feud, but the Pandays have a united front today and have been quite vocal in their support for Ahaan.
Recently, Chunky Panday even took a dig at the ‘Kapoors and Khans’ of Bollywood. An Instagram post had gone viral, which said, “In a world of Kapoors and Khans, Pandays came out of syllabus.” The post featured pictures of Chunky Panday, Ananya Panday and Ahaan Panday. Chunky Panday shared the post on his Instagram Story, taking a dig at other celebrity families in Bollywood.

Chunky Panday recently attended Saiyaara’s premiere and had a glowing review of the film. As the paps caught up with Chunky Panday and Bhavana Panday after Saiyaara’s screening, they asked the actor to review Saiyaara. Chunky Panday said, “Very good, best. Blockbuster.” Chunky and Bhavana flashed proud smiles as another actor in their family had impressed fans.
Ahaan Panday‘s family is constantly showing up for him in real life and on social media, leaving no stone unturned to ensure that his debut is a success. Leading the charge is Ahaan’s uncle, actor Chunky Panday, who constantly praises the film. Ananya Panday, Deanne Panday and Alanna Panday also keep sharing positive reviews of the film on Instagram.
