Amid love for Ahaan, Chunky Panday shares cheeky post on ‘Pandays coming out of syllabus in world of Khans and Kapoors'

Hindustan Times7 days ago
No one is prouder than your family when you finally get successful in life. No one is more prideful either. On Saturday, soaking in the success of his nephew Ahaan Panday's debut vehicle, Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, Chunky Panday reshared a rather cheeky post, seemingly throwing shade at the Khans and the Kapoors, who are also his friends. Chunky Panday is feeling proud of his daughter Ananya and nephew Ahaan Panday.
Cheeky Chacha Chunky
Ahaan's first movie released on Friday and collected a massive ₹21 crore, a figure any debutant would be envious of, star kid or otherwise. The young actor is also earning praise for his performance in the movie. Naturally, Chunky was excited to flex the love his nephew is getting.
Bollywood trade expert Joginder Tuteja posted a picture of Chunky, his daughter Ananya and Ahaan and wrote, 'In the world of Kapoors and Khans, Pandeys came out of syllabus. And I am not joooooking!!!!!' Chunky posted happy and heart emojis in the comments section and reposted the same on his Instagram Stories.
How the did internet react?
Reddit noticed this too and called Panday senior cheeky for it. Most agreed with the idea. 'I mean pandeys indeed came out of syllabus no one could've predict that Chunky pandey's daughter will have better career than SRK's daughter and Chunky pandey's nephew will have better first movie than Amitabh's grandson!'
Another wrote, 'These nepo's should take out each other. That is the drama I am here for.'
'Aamir khan's son, bachhan grandson, Saif's son etc . So many big nepos , it's low-key funny that chikki panday son beat them all like who even cares for pandey family otherwise , they're probably like D tier stars in the industry,' commented another.
Others defended 'nepobabies' too, 'Not defending suhana but she is yet to have a theatrical release vs ananya who has done a lot more. There is no comparison yet.'
'Pandey's did came out of syllabus . Even the one who is not in acting profession, alana managed to made her way through YouTube . I had no idea of ahaan acting debut till poster came out,' said another. Alanna is Ahaan's sister and a successful YouTube star herself.
About Saiyaara
The romantic drama, helmed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF has garnered positive reviews from critics and audiences. It also stars Aneet Padda, who has acted in the web series Big Girls Don't Cr yand the Kajol-starrer film Salaam Venky.
The film released in theatres on Friday.

Ananya Panday launches kindness curriculum for schools across India

Bollywood actress Ananya Panday is championing a new cause aimed at instilling emotional intelligence and empathy in young minds. Through her digital social responsibility platform So Positive, Ananya has introduced a Kindness Curriculum for school children across India, in collaboration with the NGO Slam Out Loud. Ananya, who has consistently used her platform to promote positive digital behavior, shared her vision behind the initiative. 'Kindness has always been at the heart of everything we do at So Positive. I truly believe that if we can instill kindness in kids from a young age, it becomes second nature to them as they grow up,' she said. 'With everything going on in the world, I feel an even stronger need to help build a generation that's more empathetic, emotionally aware, and simply… kind.' The curriculum is set to be implemented in schools across the country through Slam Out Loud's Jijivisha Fellowship and the Arts for All program. It is expected to impact over 2.5 lakh children by helping them explore compassion and kindness through arts-based learning. To widen accessibility, the curriculum is also available on So Positive's YouTube channel, enabling parents and educators across the globe to incorporate it into their learning environments. Furthermore, efforts are underway to make it accessible on the Government of India's DIKSHA portal. On the professional front, Ananya is gearing up for her upcoming film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, her second collaboration with Kartik Aaryan after Pati Patni Aur Woh. The romantic entertainer, directed by Sameer Vidwans and backed by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora, is scheduled for a theatrical release on February 13, 2026.

Devoleena Bhattacharjee celebrates seven months of motherhood

Television star Devoleena Bhattacharjee, best known for her role in Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, recently took to Instagram to mark a special milestone—seven months of motherhood. The actress, who welcomed her baby boy Joy on December 18, 2024, shared an emotional post reflecting on her journey as a new mom. Posting a series of adorable photos cradling her son, Devoleena penned a touching caption: '7 months of holding my heart outside my body… From those tiny fingers wrapping around mine to sleepless nights filled with snuggles — every moment has been pure magic. You've turned my world into a soft, beautiful chaos I never want to escape from. Here's to growing together, one giggle, one cuddle, one milestone at a time. You, my little love, are my greatest journey. #7MonthsOfLove.' Fans flooded the comments section with love and blessings, celebrating the joy and warmth radiated by the mother-son duo. Devoleena has been regularly updating her followers with glimpses of baby Joy's life, including his Annaprashan — the traditional rice-eating ceremony — and candid family moments. The actress and her husband, Shanawaz Shaikh, tied the knot in a private court wedding in December 2022. The couple had kept their relationship low-key until they made their nuptials public, and since then, have openly shared their journey into parenthood with their fans. Devoleena's post reflects not just her deep love for her child but also the emotional transformation that motherhood brings — a journey she continues to embrace with joy and gratitude.
