Best remembered for his portrayal of Akhri Pasta in the Housefull series, Chunky Panday is an Indian film actor. He started his movie career with the multi-starrer Aag Hi Aag, following which he was seen in Paap Ki Duniya, both of which were commercial success. Although he was seen in a number of successful movies post his debut, he was, over the period, only cast in supporting roles. He then moved onto working in Bangladeshi movies as a lead actor but still failed at getting lead roles in Bollywood.

He, however, returned to Bollywood in 2003 and since then has appeared in movies like Qayamat: City Under Threat, Elaan, D - Underworld Badshah, Rascals, Himmatwala, Humshakals, Begum Jaan and Shuruaat Ka Twist.
