Ananya Panday and her father, veteran actor Chunky Panday, recently stole the spotlight with a heartwarming performance at an awards show. The father-daughter duo danced to the popular 1988 track Main Tera Tota from Chunky’s film Paap Ki Duniya, creating a delightful moment that quickly went viral on social media.
In a video shared by Chunky Panday on Instagram, he is seen making his way to the stage, flanked by dancers, before joining Ananya for the energetic performance. Ananya dazzled in a traditional ensemble—a gold embroidered blouse paired with a green dhoti-style skirt—while Chunky looked sharp in a classic black suit.
The performance was a crowd-pleaser, with Ananya showcasing her graceful dance skills and Chunky adding his signature charm with playful expressions. The touching moment concluded with Ananya bowing to her father and the two sharing a warm embrace.
Main Tera Tota originally featured in Paap Ki Duniya, an action film directed by Shibu Mitra that starred Chunky alongside Sunny Deol, Shakti Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, and Danny Denzongpa.
In his Instagram caption, Chunky wrote, “This is the first time I got to perform at an international film award function. Thank you, Zee Cine Awards and my darling Ananya Panday. What a surprise. So proud of you. Love you forever.”
The post drew love from fans and celebrities alike. Bhavana Pandey, Ananya’s mother, commented, “The best,” with heart and evil eye emojis. Actress Nyra Banerjee added, “Pretty daughter ke proud cute father,” while Dia Mirza, Maheep Kapoor, and Sanjay Kapoor all showed their appreciation with heart emojis.
