No doubt the Khans, Bachchans and Kapoors ruled Bollywood for decades. However there are a few families who have earned a lot of name and fame in the entertainment industry.So far, about a dozen film actors have emerged from the Kapoor family. Several have also emerged from the Khan and Bachchan families so far.
Now, along with these few film families, the Panday family is also emerging. So far, 4 stars have been born in this family and among these, 2 star kids have tasted success with their first film itself.
This cinematic legacy started with Chunky Panday
The family legacy with Chunky Panday has been going on since the 90s. Acknowledged for blockbusters like Tezaab, Aankhen, Vishwatma, Zakhm and many more, Chunky Panday has been one of the top actors of his time, loved for both serious roles and his brilliant comedy timing.
Even today, he appears in some of the major Bollywood films, as well as acting in Tamil and Telugu films. His wife, Bhavana Panday, on the other hand, is not an actress, but she is a popular name among celebrities. She emerged even more famous following her appearance on Netflix’s reality show “Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives”.
Ananya Panday’s films have done well. She is already a big name among the heroines of this generation. She has not been a regular but has been a part of different stories with films like “Pati Patni Aur Woh”, “Gehraiyaan”, “Dream Girl 2” and more. Not only limited to the silver screen, but also entered the OTT platform with hit projects like “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan”, “Call Me Bae: and “CTRL”, which have been widely acclaimed.

Ahaan Panday did wonders in his debut itself.27-year-old Ahaan Panday recently embarked in his acting career with Saiyaara, released in theatres on July 18, 2025, and made a splash at the box office. The strong performances of both actors also garnered a lot of accolades. The Mohit Suri’s directorial film also featured another debutant actress, Aneet Padda, in the lead role. Though both actors received a lot of appreciation, it was Ahaan who moved the audience with his powerful acting and the strong emotional twist in his character.
