When Chunky Panday took advantage of Salman Khan’s stardom

Mumbai, July 4 (IANS) Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood, and once, fellow actor Chunky Panday decided to take advantage of his massive stardom.

Akshay Kumar, who appeared on “The Kapil Sharma Show” with Chunky, narrated the funny incident.
