Chunky Panday says he has 'set the bar high' for Ananya's boyfriends amid dating rumours with Aditya

Ananya Panday is rumoured to be dating Aditya Roy Kapur for more than a year now.

Amid the rumours, Ananya’s father and actor Chunky Panday claimed he has pampered his daughter too much and has set high standards for whoever her boyfriend is.

In the book Raising Stars, by Rashmi Uchil, Chunky Panday detailed how Ananya Panday has been a pampered girl since she was the firstborn in the family. He recalled welcoming his daughter exactly nine months and 16 days after tying the knot with his wife Bhavana. He further stated, “Ananya was part of our very first wedding anniversary. We do not know life as a married couple without Ananya.” 

Recalling how he once got Lady Gaga to sing for her daughter on her birthday. He quipped, “I’m a-joking. I’m not rich enough to get Lady Gaga to sing for me. It so happened that Ananya and her friends had accompanied me to the Grand Prix in Delhi. Lady Gaga was there to perform for the inaugural ceremony. I told her that it was Ananya’s birthday and she spontaneously broke into a song. All those present joined her and sang along, ‘Happy Birthday to you.’ It was a very sweet gesture on her part. She made Ananya’s day.”

In the same conversation, the Housefull actor reiterated that Ananya has been a pampered girl and so whoever chooses to date her will have to match up to his standards od treating her. He asserted, “I have pampered both my girls and my niece so much. I have set the bar too high. It will be very difficult for their boyfriends to match. I got Lady Gaga to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ for Ananya on her birthday. If her boyfriend can manage to do that, I will consider him to be worthy enough to get lucky with Ananya.” 

Interestingly, Chunky Panday’s statement comes amid Ananya Panday’s reportedly budding romance with Aashiqui actor Aditya Roy Kapur.
