When he was asked if he and his family had ever stayed in Shah Rukh Khan's house when they went on vacation abroad,.
To this, Panday responded that he and his family have stayed at Shah Rukh Khan's house in London and Dubai a few times.
Despite this, he expressed a preference for staying in a hotel over Shah Rukh's residence when traveling abroad again. He further shared the reason behind this choice:
"Yes, Bhavana and others have all stayed in Shah Rukh’s house in London and Dubai. I have also stayed at his house a couple of times but of course I like to stay at a hotel. I would love to stay in someone’s house, but I am messy and I know that they will throw me out of their house in two days. I have stayed at Shah Rukh’s house, though. He has lovely houses. I am very proud of him.”
