When Ahaan Panday made SHOCKING confession, said he's not related to Chunky Panday: 'My surname is...'
Ahaan Panday has quickly become Internet's new crush with the release of his debut film, Saiyaara. Among all the star kids who have stepped into the world of cinema, Ahann is widely been considered the next superstar. Following the footsteps of his uncle Chunky Panday and cousin Ananya Panday, Ahaan has carved a distinct place for himself in the Hindi film industry. Amid growing buzz around his debut, an old comment of the actor denying any association with Chunky Panday resurfaced. Is Ahaan Panday NOT related to Chunky Panday?
In 2017, a 19-year-old Ahaan Panday took to his Instagram Live to interact with his followers. However, when someone asked about his relations with his uncle Chunky Panday, 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.'
The comment stirred curiosity among fans, considering his father, better known as Chikki Panday, is Chunky Panday's younger brother. While it is unclear, whether the statement occurred due to a private family matter, but the Panday family seems strongly united today, and supporting Ahaan with full force. Chunky Panday penned a heartfelt wish for Ahaan Panday
Chunky Panday even posted on Instagram to wish Ahaan following Saiyaara's teaser release, 'Welcome my Boy to the World of Movie Magic @ahaanpandayy @aneetpadda_. What a fantastic teaser congratulations @mohitsuri @yrf #akshayewidhani #saiyaara @shanoosharmarahihai.' View this post on Instagram

Anupam Kher reflects on Tanvi The Great's struggles at book launch: ‘What I achieved, no one could in a thousand years'
Anupam Kher , who recently returned to directing after 23 years with Tanvi The Great, is making a comeback, this time as an author. Different But No Less, Anupam's fourth book, launched in Mumbai on Wednesday. The book follows the creation of Tanvi the Great, a movie that was almost never made. From early rejections to casting stories, the book records the project's challenges and illuminates the motivation behind Anupam's decision to base his comeback on the tale of an autistic girl. Anupam stated, "I wrote this film because I needed strength more than money to write it and then make it. That's how this book came out, and it's the strongest thing I have done in my life.' A star-studded assembly of friends, coworkers, and collaborators attended the launch event. Filmmaker and longtime mentor Mahesh Bhatt , actor Boman Irani , who also served as the event's host, Gajraj Rao, Anang Desai, and director Pankuj Parashar, with whom Anupam collaborated on Chaalbaaz, were among those in presence. Mahesh Bhatt gave an emotional analysis of Anupam's journey. 'One of the greatest strengths of this kid—I call him a kid because when I met him he was 28, although I was only 34, but still—is his vulnerability,' Bhatt remarked. 'I don't know any other attribute apart from vulnerability when it comes to him. And a person who cannot be vulnerable cannot be courageous. I'm proud that a journey we began all those years back has landed us in this moment. I can wholeheartedly claim, proudly, that I have contributed somewhere in his journey, and I think his flight has just begun.' The movie, however, encountered challenges at the box office and clashed with Saiyaara, a musical directed by Mohit Suri . While discussing the movie's performance, Boman questioned Anupam about his thoughts on the disappointing box office arrival. 'To everyone present here, if I had to ask you what your top three films of all time are, I'm sure nobody would even remember the box office business they did when they released," he said unquestionably, as he always does. "What I have achieved with this film, no other person could achieve in a hundred thousand years. ' With typical wit, Boman joked that none of the actors, including himself, received compensation for their work on Tanvi the Great because they were only carrying out Anupam's vision, which was in turn carrying out his heart.
