Mumbai, Feb 24 (IANS) Veteran actor Chunky Panday says he has ticked off a long-cherished wish from his bucket list, revealing that he is finally living his childhood dream of playing a cowboy.
The actor took to social media to share glimpses from a ranch near Bhopal, where he is currently filming. Dressed in classic western gear, Chunky looked every bit the cowboy as he posed for the camera.
