“When people hate on me for nepotism, I am not going to shy away [from saying] that I am Chunky Pandey’s daughter...My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on Koffee with Karan...it is not as easy as people say it is. Everyone has their own journey,” Panday said during a discussion on nepotism in Bollywood.
