EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Anupamaa’s Sudhanshu Pandey reveals if there’s toxicity on sets, ‘Mein ek hi cheez kahunga…’
In an exclusive conversation with us, former Anupamaa actor Sudhanshu Pandey reveals if he ever faced toxicity on the sets.
Sudhanshu Pandey has been making headlines for the past few days for his abrupt exit from the ongoing serial, Anupamaa. While the actor who essayed the role of Vanraj had already broken his silence on why he had left the show, in a conversation with us, he talked about another important topic. Pandey cleared a common misconception individuals have about television acting- toxicity on sets.
We asked Sudhanshu Pandey if there’s toxicity on the sets of television shows. The former Anupamaa actor shared his experience and said, “Mein ek hi cheez kahunga, because of my seniority and everything, mere aas paas ye sab cheez kabhi bhatki nahi. Kyunki logon ki itni himmat hoti nahi ki wo toxicity mere aas paas leke aaye. They know there’s a senior actor, so they have to maintain a certain decorum with me.”
“(I will say just one thing, because of my seniority and everything, such things have never wandered around me. Because people don't have the courage to bring that toxicity near me. They know there's a senior actor, so they have to maintain a certain decorum with me.)”
