Sudhanshu has been a part of Bollywood for many years, but the adulation owing to the TV show is unmatchable. However, he doesn’t want the real Sudhanshu Pandey to be lost in this and is constantly looking to reinvent himself. In a candid chat, he spoke to us about this and more. Excerpts:

You’ve recently got a brand-new photoshoot done and have been talking about a change of image, too. What has prompted this?

I got some new photographs shot. In fact, I planned a proper photoshoot after many years. I did this because I am looking at a certain image change. My character, Vanraj Shah in Anupama, is a very strong character and I have been playing that for a year, and yes, I have been getting a great response for it. But I want people to also remember me for what I am. I had started my career as a fashion model and have worked with top designers. So, I felt like doing a different kind of photoshoot where I could pose like a model. I thought let me remind people and tell them that Vanraj Shah is a character you see on TV, but Sudhanshu Pandey is what you can see through these pictures.

I HAD TO THINK HARD BEFORE TAKING UP ANUPAMA. IT TOOK A LOT OF STRENGTH TO TAKE THE LEAP INTO THE DAILY SOAP WORLD
