“My first interaction with Vidya Balan was inside her vanity van and I ...” — Chunky Pandey Quote

My first interaction with Vidya Balan was inside her vanity van and I was dressed up in my character. As I stepped into her van, she looked at me and screamed. That was like a compliment for me.

I can't expect to be playing the lead and romancing heroines, so I'll do what I'm best suited for and I'm doing that happily.

Nowadays, you cannot tell your kids what to do. In fact, you have to listen to them. As a parent, give them great education and values and they will decide what to do in life.

In 'Begum Jaan,' a lot of people did not recognize me as my look was different. That is the big thing and it means you have gone so much into your character.

The biggest compliment I get is when someone tells me, 'You're so real.' Even if my journey isn't exactly like theirs.

It's really the tone that people use to convey things sometimes that can either become a compliment or an insult. It's not always what you are saying, it's about how you say it.

I just do whatever I want to do and if it inspires anybody to be who they want, hopefully positive things, then that is the highest paying compliment ever.

I'll downplay myself before I compliment myself.

For me it's a compliment, playing baddie characters. I take it as a compliment.
