Ananya Panday and Chunky Panday

Chunky Panday continues to prove he is the 'Dad of the Year'. The actor recently recalled the time he got Lady Gaga to sing 'Happy Birthday' for his dear daughter, Ananya Panday. Chunky revealed that he would only consider a potential boyfriend of Ananya's worthy of being with her unless he pulled something like that off for her. In the book "Raising Stars" by Rashmi Uchil, Chunky Panday also talked about how Ananya Panday was the first girl child in her generation of the family.

Recalling the story about Lady Gaga, Chunky said, “I have pampered both my girls and my niece so much. I have set the bar too high. It will be very difficult for their boyfriends to match. I got Lady Gaga to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ for Ananya on her birthday. If her boyfriend can manage to do that, I will consider him to be worthy enough to get lucky with Ananya. I’m a-joking. I’m not rich enough to get Lady Gaga to sing for me. It so happened that Ananya and her friends had accompanied me to the Grand Prix in Delhi. Lady Gaga was there to perform for the inaugural ceremony. I told her that it was Ananya’s birthday and she spontaneously broke into a song. All those present joined her and sang along, ‘Happy Birthday to you.’ It was a very sweet gesture on her part. She made Ananya’s day.”


In the book Raising Stars, Rashmi Uchil, Chunky Panday talked about how Ananya Panday was born exactly nine months and 16 days after he tied the knot with Bhavana Panday. In a fun coincidence, Bhavana and Chunky were also born 9 months and 16 days after their parents' wedding. Reflecting on this, he said, "Ananya was part of our very first wedding anniversary. We do not know life as a married couple without Ananya.”
