My career started there! So Pahlaj did Ilzaam with him, which was a superhit. But when I met him in the bathroom, I didn't know him. There was no social media back in the day. People did not know who looked like what. So we were both in the bathroom, and my drawstring was in a knot. I wanted someone to help me open it. He helped me open it. That is when I asked him what he does for a living, and he said he was a producer and his name was Pahlaj Nihalani. I was taken aback. I introduced myself saying my name is Chunky Panday and he said what a strange name! I said yes but I want to be in films. He said next day come to my house and meet me. And the next day I bagged the role.”Chunky made his acting debut in 1987 with the film Aag Hi Aag and gained recognition for his supporting role as Babban in Tezaab.
