Speaking about her journey so far, Chunky said it was difficult for him to let his ‘little girl’ work. The Housefull actor was quoted by Mumbai Mirror saying, “Ananya had been a part of the industry socially but to work in it is a different ballgame altogether.

Chunky further said despite the assurance he had his moments of anxiety with regards to Ananya’s career especially while the actress was filming for her debut.

Quipping about the difference between his personality and that of his daughter, Chunky said, “I was wild; my daughter is nothing compared to me. I had a lot of wrong pressure on me. Being the son of two doctors, I was expected to become one too.”
