In the past, Shah Rukh on several occasions openly spoke about how he was grateful towards Chunky Panday. In 2005, while hosting the reality game show 'India Poochega Sabse Shaana Kaun', he shared an interesting anecdote on Chunky.

Shah Rukh said that when he arrived in Mumbai from Delhi in the 80s, it was Chunky who gave him shelter and introduced him to his industry friends. The actor was already established back then and he played a crucial role in getting newbie Shah Rukh in touch with other industry colleagues.
