Chunky Pandey has revealed that he had to struggle a lot at the beginning of his career. There was a time when after working in many hit films, he had a shortage of work. As a result, he had to go to Bangladesh and work in the film industry there. Along with doing films, he also did property dealing there, so that he could live better. Chunky said these things in an episode of YouTube channel We Are Yuva. During this, his daughter Ananya Pandey was also present. Chunky told the reason for not taking Ananya to the set
Ananya asked Chunky why he never took her to the set. In response, Chunky said – I will tell you why you never came to my set. When I and your mother got married, I was in a low phase. I had just returned from Bangladesh and I was looking for work for myself. I never got into the matter of calling you to the set or calling your mother to the set and it has been going on like this since then. Father advised him to learn acting
Chunky also told that he had to struggle a lot to establish himself as an actor. Regarding this, Chunky said- When I told Papa about becoming an actor, he said that okay you want to become an actor, but you do not have any acting background. First prepare yourself. Because of this I went to different acting classes and started modeling to earn money. I was very used to earning money. I tried from 19 to 23 years. I was rejected from many auditions. Worked in property dealing in Bangladesh
After not getting work in Hindi films, Chunky went to Bangladesh to try his luck. Regarding this, he said- I had blockbuster films. Right after the film Aankhen, I really had no work at all. The only film I got after the film Aankhen was Teesra Kaun. After this there was a complete drought. Because of this I went to Bangladesh. Did films there. Luckily those films worked. I had made it my home in a way. But yes it was scary, but I did not stop working. I opened an event company there. I started doing events. I started doing property dealing, bought land. I put my ego aside and I told myself that I have to survive. That’s why I did all this, but I also learned a lot in this process. Chunky said- I could not ask for money from parents.
Chunky said in the end- I was badly broken by financial crisis. If you are a boy and you have started your career, then you cannot go back and ask for money from your parents. I did not even tell these things to anyone.
