Ananya Panday is very close friend of Suhana Khan
Ananya shares a close bond with her father Chunky Panday. As the debate of nepotism and insider-outsider rages on post the death of actor sushant singh rajput, the veteran actor opened up about his thoughts in the context of his daughter ananya Panday. The actor said, "If my daughter chose to get into films, it’s her prerogative, I’ve not forced her. I wanted to become a doctor. I couldn’t become one. My father was a renowned heart surgeon and my mother was doctor. I must confess that I tried. And I just couldn’t succeed. Then I became an actor. Kids today decide what they want to do. I hope and pray that they succeed. That’s all I can do."
The Housefull actor admitted that as a parent, it does bother him when his daughter is attacked and it does “get too much” at times. “Of course it is sad. When I came into the film industry, it was said that someone had recommended me and that’s how I got into films. It was a huge thing back then. I remember. But you’ve to live with it. You can’t get into an argument about it,” says Chunky.
Moreover the actor said, "I don’t even know how this term insider and outsider have come into place. The moment you sign a film, you become an insider. It’s your first assignment that makes you an insider. From what I can tell you is that the equation of the industry has not changed. It’s is an equal playing field. You’ve to have a huge amount of luck and then things will fall in place."
