Bhavana Pandey and Chunky Pandey have spent 29 years together, but their approach to marriage still appears rooted in humour, companionship and small everyday gestures. The couple recently reflected on their relationship, parenting and changing ideas of love in an exclusive conversation.
Chunky said he still gets butterflies while shopping for Bhavana, while she continues to enjoy his sense of humour. Their playful equation, they suggested, has remained an important part of their relationship despite nearly three decades of marriage.
The couple also spoke about life with their daughters, Ananya and Rysa, as they have grown older. Parenting has naturally changed over the years, with their children becoming more independent and developing their own perspectives on relationships and life.
Bhavana and Chunky also discussed how the language around relationships has evolved, particularly among Gen Z. Terms describing dating, commitment and modern relationships have become increasingly common, reflecting changing attitudes towards romance and partnerships.
For the couple, however, love appears to remain less about labels and more about familiarity, humour and shared experiences. Their family’s modern love language reportedly includes sharing memes in their group chat, showing how technology has become part of everyday family bonding.
After 29 years together, Bhavana and Chunky’s relationship continues to combine long-term familiarity with a playful approach to marriage, offering a glimpse into how love can evolve while retaining its personal traditions.
