Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle: Chunky Panday reveals that Sajid Khan was originally going to play Aakhri Pasta in Housefull; explains how wife Bhavana Panday helped him bag the ICONIC role<\/p>\n

Chunky Panday said, \u201cI believe the second innings of my career happened all thanks to my wife Bhavana Pandey. She brought luck for me after we got married. We got married in the year 1998, when my career was at my lowest phase. I had a career in Bangladesh but even that was about to end. It was a very big thing. But it lasted from 1993 to 1998 aur woh khatam hone aa raha tha. She was the only one who told me to come back to Bollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cIn fact, the best film that I\u2019ve had recently is the Housefull series. Sajid Khan, Bhavana and I were at a party. Sajid Khan told Bhavana that he was making a film called Housefull. He said, \u2018Everyone wants me to play this character of Aakhri Pasta. Lekin main nahin kar paunga because it would be difficult for me to act as well as direct at the same time\u2019. He further said, \u2018I am wondering who I should cast\u2019. Bhavana asked him, \u2018Why don\u2019t you take Chunky?\u2019. He looked at me and asked, \u2018Chunky, will you do it?\u2019. I replied, \u2018Haan, main karoonga\u2019. So, I feel that my wife has been very lucky for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
