Such a heartwarming moment! ❤️ Chunky Panday's joy is so genuine - reminds me of how my dad reacts when I achieve something. Bollywood needs more of these pure father-daughter bonds on display. Ananya's dance was fire too!

Main Tera Tota still slaps after all these years! 😂 Nostalgia hit hard seeing Chunky ji groove to his own song. But honestly, awards shows are becoming too much about star kids - wish they'd give equal stage time to outsiders.

As someone who grew up watching Chunky Panday's films, this made me emotional! Ananya did justice to his legacy. But can we talk about how fit he looks? 60s mein bhi energy level zabardast hai!

The performance was good but honestly getting tired of seeing the same 5-6 star kids at every award function. Where's the diversity? Indian cinema has so much talent beyond film families.

That hug at the end! 😍 So much love between them. As a 90s kid, I remember dancing to Chunky uncle's songs at weddings. Now seeing his daughter perform them - time flies yaar!

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 winning makes sense but Stree 2 over Animal 2 for Best Actress? Jury must be joking! Anyway, happy for Chunky sir - he's one of the most underrated actors we have.
