Malaika Arora's Adorable Confession: Why She Still Has Chunky's Poster

Malaika Arora just made the sweetest confession about her longtime crush. She confirmed she still has Chunky Panday's poster after his daughter Ananya revealed this fun fact. This isn't the first time Malaika has expressed her admiration for the veteran actor. Farah Khan also joined in, sharing her own childhood crush on Chunky during the same talk show episode.

Malaika Arora makes an adorable admission, "Chunky I still have your poster'

Mumbai, Nov 10

Actress Malaika Arora has once again proclaimed her admiration for her old crush Chunky Panday.

She took to the Stories section of her official Instagram handle and uploaded a clip of Chunky's actress daughter, Ananya Panday, on the celebrity talk show "Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle", speaking about her parents, Chunky and Bhavana Pandey's love story.

During the conversation, Ananya revealed that Malaika used to own a poster of her father, Chunky at some point.

Resharing the excerpt from the show, Malaika declared, "@chunkypanday i still have ur poster, don't worry (sic)."

However, this is not the first time Malaika has declared her love for Chunky.

Back when Malaika and Farah Khan were judges on the dance reality show, "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa", the 'Om Shanti Om' maker had disclosed that her first crush was Chunky. Pitching in, Malaika revealed that she, too, had a huge crush on Chunky.

Coming back to "Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle", during the episode, Farah was heard saying that Ananya could have been my daughter,' referring to her massive crush on Chunky.

The 'Happy New Year' maker stated that Ananya would have been her daughter as she had such a massive crush on her father Chunky back in the day.

Ananya, who appeared on the show with Farah and was seated next to her on the couch, couldn't stop blushing upon hearing this.

Refreshing your memory, Farah had called Chunky Bollywood's most 'kanjoos' person during her appearance on "The Great Indian Kapil Show", along with actor Anil Kapoor.

When host Kapil Sharma asked the two, "Who is 'jyada kanjoos' between Anil and Farah", the filmmaker and choreographer confirmed that actually both of them are quite generous.

Revealing the most miser celeb, Farah said, "I can tell you who is the most miser in the industry. There is only one person. Chunky Pandey. I swear. Bring me my phone. I will call him and ask for Rs 500."

Chunky Panday was such a style icon in the 90s! No wonder so many actresses had crushes on him. His comic timing in movies like "Aankhen" was brilliant.

While this is sweet, I wish media would focus more on substantial news rather than celebrity crushes from decades ago. There are more important things happening in our country.

Farah calling Chunky "kanjoos" and then Malaika having his poster - what a contrast! 😂 Bollywood gossip never fails to entertain us during tea breaks.

Must be so awkward for Ananya to hear all this about her dad! But she handled it with such grace. The new generation is so much more confident than we were.

This shows how Bollywood has evolved - from Chunky's era to Ananya's. Both generations have their charm. Nostalgic to remember those 90s posters we all had in our rooms! 🎬
