In a candid chat, Chunky Panday humorously highlighted his daughter Ananya Panday’s “shrieky” voice as her acting flaw, while praising her ability to carry a show like Call Me Bae.
Chunky Panday praised Ananya Panday’s acting in Call Me Bae but pointed out her “shrieky” voice as a flaw. “I want to get your DNA checked,” he joked in a candid conversation.
Actor Ananya Panday has been navigating the “privileged nepo kid” label since her debut in Student Of The Year 2. However, her father, actor Chunky Panday, doesn’t shy away from pointing out both her strengths and weaknesses. In a candid chat with Ananya on the We Are Yuvaa YouTube channel, Chunky humorously highlighted her flaw as an actor—her “shrieky” voice.
When Ananya asked, “Do you think I am a good actor?” Chunky cheekily replied, “At home or on screen? Mum thinks I am a better actor at home than on screen.” The father-daughter duo shared a laugh as Ananya added, “Whenever my mom and dad fight, she tells him, ‘Save it for the screen.’ I find it damn funny.”
Chunky went on to praise her, saying, “You are a surprising actor. You have surprised me with a few of your performances, especially with the first one I saw. But now what I saw in Call Me Bae, to kind of pull off those 7-8 episodes and still be pleasant to the eye and you want to watch it again and again, I think that’s a great achievement. That’s something I would never be able to do. I can pull off a few nice scenes in films, but carrying a whole film or show with you, that’s why I want to get your DNA checked.”
Ananya then asked her father what he thought she could improve on. “What is something I can work on? You keep saying it’s my voice, but do you think it has gotten better?” Chunky replied, “Sometimes, I feel you can remove the shriek. Do you think I have gotten better? Slightly. But every time you shriek, I want to call you up wherever you are at that time. Even I have got so many flaws, every actor has flaws. Actually, we become good actors because of our flaws.”
Chunky also shared an amusing anecdote from his role as Aakhri Pasta in Housefull, saying, “When I had to play an Italian, I am such a bad mimic, I landed up putting Afghani into it. So, Aakhri Pasta is a Pathan and an Italian. It’s not bad, we can have flaws. But yours looks like a flawless performance, bae. I am proud of you.”
On the professional front, Chunky Panday was last seen in Anupam Kher’s Vijay 69. Meanwhile, Ananya was last seen in Vikramaditya Motwane’s CTRL and will next appear in Chand Mera Dil, alongside Lakshya Lalwani. Directed by Vivek Soni, the film is slated for a 2025 release.
