Mumbai, Jan 4 (NationPress) Bollywood star Ananya Panday, who recently appeared in the streaming feature ‘CTRL’, has unveiled a nostalgic video of her father, Chunky Panday, as he hosted a New Year’s broadcast event during the 1980s.
The actress took to her Instagram Stories to share the clip where Chunky is seen donning a tuxedo while hosting the event aired by Doordarshan in 1988.
In the video, he remarked, “The old year has passed. And with new joys, a new year has come. So let us welcome this moment with a smile, with a little dancing, with a little singing. But imagine, if this increasing moment suddenly stops. That breath from which everyone's heart gets excited. Where everyone gets up and starts dancing. That is, everyone becomes clean bowled. And that art is the Swarlahari of music. The one and only, Bappi Lahiri.”
He then welcomed the music maestro, saying, “Hello everybody. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Bappi da, which film song will you sing for us today?”
The composer replied, “Today, it is not a film song. Today, everything is new. Even my music is new. For you.”
Chunky then stated, “And I am also new here. I am a new announcer from Doordarshan. My name is Chunky Panday. And I wish you all a Happy New Year from Doordarshan and from me. And in celebration of this new year, Bappi da, please take the stage. It's all yours.”
Previously, Ananya Panday praised Deepika Padukone, highlighting her as a strong advocate for everyone on set. During a roundtable, Ananya shared, “When I started out in the industry, I didn't really know that one could really stand up and reinforce what they want. I used to simply do what I was asked to do.”
