Pandey revealed that “the organiser offered him a good amount of money for attending an event but he didn’t tell the details, just asking to come in white clothes.”

The Bollywood actor said that when he reached the specified spot, he found out that it was a funeral and bereaved relatives of the deceased were standing at the entrance.

“I felt like the organiser who called me died by the time I reached there, but then I saw him standing in a corner. He assured me of my payment but he also offered me more money if I cried at the funeral,” the Chunkey Pandey said.

Hearing the story, everyone laughed in the show and the smiles spread across everyone’s face.

On the work front, Panday was last seen in the pan-Indian film ‘Liger’ (2022), headlined by his daughter Ananya and South heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda, as well as Tamil-language spy thriller ‘Sardar’.
