MUMBAI : Anupamaa has been ruling our television screens and always tops the ratings every week. Rupali Ganguly plays the titular character.

Sudhanshu Pandey has now become a household name and everyone loves him as Vanraj Shah on Anupamaa. He has a mixed character full of emotions and is very unpredictable in every situation.

Sudhanshu Pandey has succeeded in doing a great job as Vanraj. His portrayal of the character is so good and has been winning hearts ever since the show began.

This is Sudhanshu’s first daily soap. He was a part of various films before this. As a matter of fact, Sudhanshu Pandey was first reported in the media for being a part of India’s first boy band, A Band of Boys, in the early 2000s. A few years later, the group disbanded and Sudhanshu ventured into acting.

Sudhanshu also regularly appeared in Tamil cinema throughout the 2010s, and first portrayed the main villain in Billa II (2012) starring Ajith Kumar. He later followed it up with roles in Meaghamann (2014), Indrajith (2017) and 2.0 (2018), the most expensive Indian film at the time of its release.

Tellychakkar recently got in touch with the actor and got to know interesting insights.

How are you liking the current track of the show? Do you feel the incident when Pakhi was thrown out of the house, could have been handled better or in any different way by Vanraj?

“I am loving the current track where Vanraj is being shown as a father and his vulnerable side. As far as Pakhi's incident of being thrown out is concerned, that is something happening out of sheer emotion and hurt so I think the way it is written is really good and that is what the people are loving as well.”

These days kids are taking such drastic steps without thinking about the bigger picture and so did Pakhi. What do you feel or have to say about that?

“Kids are always prone to taking drastic steps out of sheer impulse and that is why they need guidance. That is where the parents come in and I guess that's how it should be. There should always be parental guidance for the kids to not make any mistake which they may regret later.”

The show is now on air 7 days a week. Has the workload increased or has it affected your work-life balance in any way?

“The show is now on 7 days of  the week and the workload has surely increased but no one is complaining. We are always looking for work and when we have work in our hands, we should value it and not crib about it. I think I am very happy and I feel blessed that I'm working as much as I can. To strike a balance the only way is to take a break once in a while in between and spend some time with the family. Also, maintain your health activities, as and when you get time, you should do your workouts and cardio vascular activities. You should maintain a proper diet as well. This is how I maintain myself.”
