In a candid segment on the reality‑dance series, Chinky Pandey recounted the night he turned a teenage crush into a bold adventure. Determined to see Zeenat Aman’s 1978 classic, he faced repeated rejections because of the film’s adult certification. Undeterred, he donned a burqa, slipped into the darkened hall, and settled into a seat among adult patrons.
The episode resonated with judge Terence Lewis, who added that Zeenat’s fashion – especially her iconic yellow sunglasses – had left a lasting imprint on Indian style. Pandey’s burqa episode became a testament to the power of pop‑culture icons on young fans.
