A hilarious mix-up outside a movie theatre left everyone in splits, including Chunky Panday, after Bhavana Pandey was mistaken for Maheep Kapoor.
Mumbai, July 20 — Just a day after Ahaan Panday’s much-anticipated Bollywood debut in Saiyaara, proud relatives Chunky Panday and Bhavana Pandey stepped out to catch the film — only to be part of an unexpected comedy show courtesy of the paparazzi.
In a now-viral video, the couple was spotted by photographers outside a venue, prompting one eager cameraman to ask Chunky for a quick comment on Ahaan’s performance. With his signature grin, Chunky enthusiastically replied, “Best hai. Blockbuster hai!”
But the real laugh of the night came moments later when one photographer mistakenly addressed Bhavana as “Maheep Ma’am.” For a split second, there was visible confusion on Bhavana’s face, before she broke into laughter and quipped, “Maheep kahan hai? Maheep Ma’am Chunky ke saath ghoom rahi hai?” (Where’s Maheep? Is Maheep roaming around with Chunky?)
The comment sent everyone, including Chunky, into fits of laughter. Rather than taking offense, Bhavana’s light-hearted and witty response won over both the paparazzi and viewers online. The video quickly circulated on social media, with fans applauding Bhavana for her graceful and humorous handling of the situation.
The Pandays, along with the extended Kapoor-Panday clan, have been in celebratory mode ever since the release of Saiyaara, which marks Ahaan Panday’s entry into the film industry.
