KINNARI RATHOD MEETS THE EVER ZANY CHUNKY PANDEY FOR A CHAT ON LIFE, KIDS AND LOTS OF PASTA
My mother always wanted a girl so she dressed me like one till I was two and until the neighbours warned 'this boy will go the queer way’,” says the man in question, clad in a pink shirt and casual denims. FYI, Filmfare has just finished a crazy session of digital bytes for which he’d worn bright red Lenons to go with the shirt. Well, that’s Chunky Pandey for you. We’re at this tony club he own in Bandra. Conversing over some cool lime soda on a balmy afternoon. The 50-plus actor laughs, “So far I’m quite ‘normal’ but when I go shopping, many a time, I enter the ladies section and the staff goes like, ‘Sir these are for women!’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah I’m shopping for my wife and daughters’. Actually, I venture to buy for myself. I do get attracted to women’s clothes and colours. They say by the time you are four, your personality has developed. Being dressed like a girl for two years is a long time na?” he asks with mock seriousness.
