Mumbai, July 4 (AHN) 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.
The 'Houseful' actor revealed that once Salman Khan was doing a show with Chunky Panday in South Africa and the show went extremely well, so being the organizer, Chunky graciously offered to take Salman for shopping.
As they were in a shop, Chunky told Salman, "Pick 3-4 jeans and 2-3 shirts". So, Salman picked what he liked.
The owner of the shop came, "We want to take a picture with Salman sir." The 'Ek Tha Tiger' actor took a few pictures with the owner and his family. Salman left the shop extremely happy.
However, only after a couple of days did he come to know that Chunky had taken 20,000 dollars from the shop owner to get Salman to his shop.
For those who do not know, Akshay has worked with Chunky in "Aankhen (1993)", "Housefull (2010)", "Housefull 3 (2016)", and "Housefull 5 (2025)."
