Ahaan Panday's Father Chikki Panday Once Bailed Shah Rukh Khan Out Of Jail
Chikki Panday is among Shah Rukh Khan's best friends in Mumbai, Ahaan Panday has finally stepped into the spotlight with his debut film, Saiyaara, a romance drama backed by Yash Raj Films. With his nuanced portrayal of an artist in the film, the star in making is all set to make his mark in the entertainment industry. Ahaan's debut has also put a spotlight on his father, Chikki Panday, who is close friends with big Bollywood names like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. As per a Hindustan Times report, Chikki Panday once even bailed Shah Rukh Khan out of jail. As per the report, in 1994, Shah Rukh was arrested for threatening a journalist who had written a magazine article defaming him. SRK was held in custody, and Chikki Panday and actor Nana Patekar were the ones who bailed him out. Chikki Panday, whose real name is Aloke Sharad Panday, is Chunky Panday's younger brother. He is a businessman and philanthropist who prefers to stay away from the limelight. Chikki Panday is among Shah Rukh Khan's best friends in Mumbai and has helped him in the early days of his career. SRK and Gauri frequently visited Chikki's house, watched video cassettes, and spent time there in the superstar's early struggling days. Their friendship went beyond generations as Ahaan Panday is also a friend of Aryan Khan. Now, as Ahaan has left everyone impressed with his acting debut in Saiyaara, all eyes are on Aryan Khan's directorial debut. Bollywood is no stranger to grand debuts, but when the son of Shah Rukh Khan steps into the director's chair, expectations soar to an entirely new level. Aryan Khan's first project, Ba***ds of Bollywood, has already created waves with its unique premise, sharp humour, and a cast packed with some of the biggest names in Indian cinema. Bollywood's biggest superstars—Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan—are all making cameos, adding a layer of nostalgia and meta-humour to the show. Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and Alia Bhatt also feature as themselves, embracing Bollywood's self-referential culture. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Ba***ds of Bollywood is more than just another web series—it's a deep dive into the chaotic, glamorous, and unpredictable world of Hindi cinema, told through a sharp-witted lens. According to insiders, Netflix and the production house have meticulously planned a grand release for the show. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
