The fourth episode of Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle featured Govinda and Chunky Panday. Both raised a lot of laughs from the very start and they brought the house down when they spoke about their much-loved film, Aankhen (1993).

Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle: Govinda, Chunky Panday reveal that monkey in Aankhen was a DRUNKARD: “Bewda bandar had six bouncers; was paid double the fees given to us”

Chunky Panday revealed, “You remember the monkey in Aankhen? Woh kele nahin khaata tha. He was a drunkard!”

Govinda agreed, “Yes, woh bandar sharabi tha. He would even miss its aim. Whenever he wanted to pounce on me, he was unable to land where he should have, as he was drunk (laughs). Also, he was quite heavy.” Chunky added, “Yes. He weighed 60-70 kilos.”

Kajol called him “Bewda bandar.” Chunky further said, “Bewda bandar aata tha Chennai se. He was paid double the fees given to me and Govinda! He would be accompanied by six bouncers from the South.”

Govinda stated, “We were not even paid. I told Pahlaj ji after the film’s release, ‘Aankhen is such a huge hit. Please pay us now’. He replied, ‘Abhi main tumko naukri pe rakhunga’ (laughs).” Chunky explained, “It was more like a studio salary.”

Govinda controlled his laughter and said, “I wonder how he’ll react when he sees this show.”

At another point in the show, Chunky Panday said, “Pahlaj ji did Ilzaam (1986) with Govinda, which was a super-duper hit. I met him in the bathroom. In those days, there was no social media. We didn’t know who looked like what. So, we both were in the bathroom aur mera naada fas gaya tha. I was shouting, ‘Koi mera naada kholo’! He volunteered. He said, ‘Arre baba, main help karta hai’. I asked him who he was. He said, ‘I am a producer. I am Pahlaj Nihalani’. I was taken aback. I knew that he had launched Govinda. I told him that my name is Chunky Panday. He said, ‘Ajeeb naam hai’! He asked me to meet him the next day at his house, where I bagged the film (Paap Ki Duniya; 1988).”
