What Chunky said

Chunky Panday shared that he is very proud of Shah Rukh Khan.

In the interview, Chunky said: "Yes, Bhavana [Panday, his wife] and others have all stayed in Shah Rukh’s house in London and Dubai. I have also stayed at his house a couple of times but of course, I like to stay at a hotel. I would love to stay in someone’s house, but I am messy and I know that they will throw me out of their house in two days. I have stayed at Shah Rukh’s house though. He has lovely houses. I am very proud of him.”

He further continued that he has turned into a miser. “I used to feel left out, nobody was talking about me. I was like, ‘Let's become kanjoos (miser), at least people will speak about me.’ In those days, everybody used to smoke cigarettes and everybody also wanted to quit cigarettes. So nobody brought them to the sets. But I didn’t want to leave it, so I took my own pack to the sets. And everybody used to take cigarettes from my pack. I realised five to six packets of my cigarettes used to finish every day. My kanjoosi started there,” he added.
