Chunky is addicted to swimming

Questionhim on his success rate and he clarifies, ���I started my career in theBollywood movies way back in 1987 and worked in the industry for almost 10years. During this period, somewhere I felt not much happening for me andfinally I planned to retire from Bollywood movies. Then suddenly one day I gotan offer to do a lead role in a Bangladeshi film and they were also offering megood money. So that���s how my acting journey in Bangladeshi movies began.It was only in the year 1999 while I was planning to get married that I decidedto quit Bangladeshi movies and get back to Bollywood again.��� But Chunky has not restricted himself only to the big screen. These days he isbusy judging a reality dance show ��� Zara Nachke Dikha. ���It is alltogether a different experience. I have been fondly tagged as one of the sexiestjudges on a reality show.��� Quiz him on the modesty of this and pat comesthe reply, ���I don���t how far that holds true for me. But definitely,I���ve been enjoying judging the show. It seemed very easy at first but hasturned out to be a tough job.���Having largely been restricted to sidekick roles during his previous Bolly-sprint, this actor can definitely vouch for a difference-with-a-bang this time he hits the silver screens. Confirms he, ���This year, I���ve almost seven films lined up for release. I have Anubhav Sinha���s Sankat City, in which I���ve a double role. Then there is Daddy Cool, Shortcut, Hello Darling and Paying Guest. Khalbali Re Khalbali is a movie where I am playing the role of a look-alike of Ram Gopal Varma. I���ve just completed shooting for a Hollywood movie, Mumbai Calling and a part-animation movie, Ronnie & Rokky.��� And now comes the big surprise. Chunky���s one long-lastinglove, he says, is swimming. ���Acting was never a choice, it just happened.In fact, swimming is my first love. When I���m not swimming I feel like afish out of water. I���m addicted to it. I have also participated inState-level swimming championships.���Chunky has other planstoo. ���It���s sad that we hardly ever get to hear about any successstories of Indian swimmers. I would love to promote the game and love to see anIndian Michael Phelps one day...��� he says.
