Prime Video's Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle features the legendary onscreen duo of Govinda and Chunky Panday, so classic Bollywood fans will be treated to a real treat this week. Famous for their electric chemistry in films like Aankhen, the actors have promised an episode full of surprises, including their own fascinating family background and hilarious anecdotes from their careers spanning decades. At midnight (IST) on Thursday, October 16, 2025, the episode will be available to stream online.
The show delves deeply into the on-screen and off-screen lives of the actors, providing a treasure trove for devoted fans. Chunky's astonishing familial connection to a watershed point in Bollywood history—Shah Rukh Khan's first appearance in the industry—is one of the most surprising disclosures.
Although no one in Panday's immediate family became an actor, he does reveal that his maternal uncle, Col. Raj Kapoor, had a few bit parts. The creation of SRK's debut series, Fauji, was greatly influenced by Colonel Raj Kapoor. Even the most devoted Bollywood trivia fans will doubt the surprising link between the actor's family and King Khan's launchpad.
In addition to his famous dancing skills and top-charting songs, Govinda reveals numerous shocking details that highlight instances of international cooperation and profound personal appreciation.
Working with British pop star Samantha Fox on a song was a highlight of his career, he says. This partnership began with an act of kindness. The son of a woman who had assisted Govinda's mother in the past, the film's director Subir Mukherjee was someone that Govinda tells about. Years later, when Mukherjee approached him about the project, Govinda decided to do it for a symbolic payment of twelve bananas and a coconut, rather than a monetary price. His hard work paid off when he showed up on set to film opposite Samantha Fox, a global superstar.
The actor details the beginnings of his distinctive dancing style as well. While he does say that renowned choreographer Saroj Khan was an influence, he says that Kamal Masterji is responsible for giving him his signature groove. The technique of "dancing and expressing without speaking", which Govinda learnt from Kamal Masterji, allows him to physically convey his thoughts and feelings in response to musical lyrics. According to him, this is the exact spot where his distinctive style blossomed.
In contrast to his parents' occupations, Chunky reveals an unexpected aspect of his childhood: he is an actor. He proudly states, "My father was a heart surgeon; my mother, a doctor." This fact about his medical family is something he brings up. Despite his family's medical background, his mother's extensive experience in the film industry may have provided him with an advantage in the field.
Fans of the film of the 90s will not want to miss this edition of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle (subscribers of OTTplay Premium will also be able to watch the show with a top-up) because of the combination of touching stories and hilarious anecdotes that the dynamic duo has promised.

Q: What is Chunky Panday's surprising family connection to Shah Rukh Khan?
