Just a day after Ahaan Panday's Bollywood debut, media and photographers caught Chunky Panday and wife Bhavana Pandey as they stepped out after watching their nephew's Saiyaara. But things took a hilariously unexpected turn when paparazzi started interacting with the couple.

In a video that has emerged online, cameras click rapidly as one of the photographers calls out to Chunky, asking for a quick update on his nephew Ahaan Panday’s much-anticipated Bollywood debut. Chunky flashes a grin and confidently declares, “Best hai. Blockbuster hai!"

Bhavana reacts as paparazzi confuse her for Maheep

But just as things seemed to settle, a light-hearted confusion stole the spotlight. Turning their attention to Bhavana, a photographer mistakenly called out, “Maheep Ma’am!?” to ask for a picture. For a split second, Bhavana was taken aback. But instead of getting offended, she responded with quick wit and laughter, saying, “Maheep kahan hai? Maheep Ma’am Chunky ke saath ghoom rahi hai? (Where is Maheep? Maheep Ma'am would be roaming around with Chunky?)” The entire crew burst into laughter, even Chunky couldn’t help but chuckle at his wife’s comical retort. Watch the video.

Internet reacts

Videos of the incident were all over social media, with some fans praising Bhavana's sense of humor and grace, while others made fun of how easily the stars of the Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives get mixed up. "She is funny, maheep mam chunky k sath hogi (Maheep mam would be with Chunky?)" read one remark. "I also got confused between these two women," said another, and "I too get confused," said a third.

Bhavana writes a message for Ahaan

Only one day after the release of Saiyaara, Bhavana sent a lengthy and heartfelt message on social media, wishing Ahaan the best on his amazing new adventure.
