Fame is important for an actor. Some experience it early in their careers while others take years to get into the spotlight. Stardom, however, can be fickle --- ask Chunky Panday. The actor has seen "success" as well as "failure" closely in his Bollywood career of over three decades.

"It was perhaps written in my destiny that I would rise and fall and rise. I have experienced success as well as failure in life. To be honest, I have no regrets. You can't be on top all the time," Chunky told IANS about losing out in the race after a smashing start to his career in the late eighties with hits such as Aag Hi Aag, Tezaab and Khatron Ke Khiladi.
