In a heartwarming display of piety, veteran actor Chunky Panday journeyed to Anjaneri, the legendary birthplace of Hanuman Ji, located in the scenic hills of Nashik. The funnyman, who has tickled audiences for decades, traded spotlights for sacred chants during this memorable visit.
The site, steeped in mythology, marks the spot where wind god Vayu’s son was born to Anjana. Pilgrims flock here year-round, especially to the hilltop Hanuman temple overlooking breathtaking valleys near Trimbakeshwar. Chunky’s photos reveal him in deep prayer, guided by temple priests, and sharing a warm moment with MP Sakshi Maharaj.
Posting on Instagram, he wrote, ‘Jai Hanuman Ji. Beautiful darshan at Hanuman Ji’s birthplace in Anjaneri Hills, Nashik.’ The update sparked an avalanche of positive reactions, with industry peers and followers showering love through emojis and supportive messages.
While Chunky keeps his spiritual side alive, his professional life is buzzing too. Fresh from ‘Rahu Ketu,’ where he shone in a key role with stars like Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, he’s tight-lipped about future announcements but hints at exciting developments.
The film, helmed by Vipul Vig under ZEE Studios and Believe Productions banners, hit theaters on January 16 to enthusiastic reviews and respectable earnings. Chunky’s ability to juggle humor, action, and now overt devotion positions him as a versatile icon in Indian cinema.
This visit not only rejuvenates the soul but also reminds us of the timeless pull of India’s spiritual heritage on modern celebrities.
