Ananya Panday Curses Dad, Chunky For Making Her Do 'Liger', 'We're Not Doing A Film Together Again'

From a lacklustre start in Student Of The Year 2 to now dominating Bollywood with stellar performances in projects like Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Call Me Bae, and CTRL, Ananya Panday has certainly come a long way. However, while everyone else seems to be showering her with praise for her recent film choices, it seems her own dad, Chunky Panday isn't quite a fan. Recently, the dad-daughter duo came together for a candid chat, wherein they revealed that most of their disagreements happened because of Ananya's film choices. For her part, Ananya seems determined not to take her father's advice. 

Ananya Panday and Chunky Panday reveal that most of their fights are caused by her non-commercial film choices

Dad-daughter duo, Ananya Panday and Chunky Panday recently appeared on We Are Yuvaa's YouTube channel for a candid chat. During the same, they revealed the cause of the majority of their arguments — Ananya's film choices. Chunky confessed to not always being pleased by the 'kind of films' Ananya did, which made them quarrel. He further explained his reasons for the same, telling Ananya:

"Because I am from the 80s and 90s, where we made all of those huge big commercial movies. We have had the biggest arguments at home on this, but you said somewhere recently that it was Gehraiyaan that made you decide what kind of movies you want to do. I will fight with you right now."

Ananya Panday says working with filmmaker, Shakun Batra in Gehraiyaan made her think 'as an actor'

Ananya Panday confessed that while growing up, her thought process when it came to films was similar to her father, Chunky's. Since she only watched 'massy commercial films,' that was what she knew and loved. She stated that she didn't even realise that there was anything else out there. 

At that point, Chunky chimed in with a quip, saying, "That's in your DNA, darling." Ananya agreed with her dad again but added that all of that changed working with director cum actor, Shakun Batra in Gehraiyaan. She credited him for pushing her to really start thinking like 'an actor'. In Ananya's words:

"The kind of movies I watched also, were those massy commercial films and I still love those, I would still love to be like a part of those, but that was all I could see, like I only wanted to do that. I didn't know that there was anything else."

Ananya Panday blames her father, Chunky Panday for making her do Liger, says she won't work with him again

Ananya Panday and her doting dad, Chunky Panday also discussed her disastrous film, Liger, which bombed upon release and received brutal reviews. Ananya revealed feeling "sad and upset" when the film flopped, which is when Chunky interrupted to inform everyone that she had blamed and cursed him for making her do the project. Ananya instantly agreed, stating that he was "at fault." She even jokingly added:

"We are not doing a film together again." 

Chunky, never one to not have a comeback, mockingly imitated Ananya as he said, "I want to read my scripts and choose them." He further added that sometimes one just needed to dive in and do a film. However, Ananya shut him down instantly, saying that he was no longer allowed to give her advice after Liger.
