Anupamaa: When Sudhanshu Pandey said Anu may be unrealistic

During an interview, Sudhanshu Pandey was asked about the harsh reactions he received for his character of Vanraj Shah. Sudhanshu questioned that if people did not hate the character, then there wouldn’t be any drama on the show. On what will the viewers then react? Sudhanshu shared that people can lose interest if everyone is shown positive and perfect in the show. Sudhanshu shared that when actors are offered roles and when they are performed to T, it is then that people will react. That’s how they get to know that the character is working well. He admitted that if people stopped reacting to Vanraj, then there would be a reason for him to worry, he might be doing something wrong. The seasoned actor says that people’s reactions, even if negative are imperative as they are the tickers to know if the track is doing any good. Furthermore, Sudhanshu also added that it can happen that Anupamaa may not be that realistic as no person is so nice all the time. He reasoned that every person is not always correct in every way. And that’s what makes a person, realistic. “People like Kavya and Vanraj can be realistic as everyone has some dark side in him. That is why our show is so successful because people are able to relate to those characters.”
