Anupamaa Actor Sudhanshu Pandey Slams Abusive Language on Reality Shows

Sudhanshu Pandey, who is popularly known for his role of Vanraj Shah from Anupamaa, recently shared a video on his social media account, voicing his opinion about the growing culture of abusive language being glorified on reality shows. In the video, he expressed how he feels society will be "completely ruined" if such behaviour continues to be celebrated.

In a live session on social media, the actor said he was disturbed by the kind of content that has become popular on digital platforms and reality shows. Sudhanshu said, "People are liking such things on Instagram, which I find cringe-worthy. There are many such things that are becoming popular. Is our country's mentality changing so much? I won't say only the new generation has changed. Maybe the last two generations have also changed a lot because people like things that I think are very harmful for our society," Sudhanshu said.

The actor shared that he doesn't usually watch reality shows, but recently saw a few clips from one that is streaming on an OTT platform. He said he was shocked by what he watched. "Recently, I saw some clippings of a reality show on an OTT channel. Everyone was openly abusing each other. Sometimes I am surprised that these days girls are abusing more than necessary, even more than boys. I feel the cool quotient has been completely misunderstood," he said.

Did Sudhanshu indirectly call out Sunita Ahuja?

Although, the actor did not name anyone, he spoke about a senior personality from the entertainment industry and his wife and shared how even the established figures are openly using abusive language on-screen. "I have seen that although a wife of a very senior actor and is a star in the industry, who is a part of the show as well, she is also openly abusing others. What kind of example are we setting for the world? We have grown up, we have become seniors. If we cannot set a good example for the younger generation, then what are we doing?" he questioned. Sudhanshu expressed his disappointment and added, "If abusing others and insulting people has become the only way to showcase yourself, then I feel, as a society, we are completely ruined." Sudhanshu also said that such behaviour is slowly becoming normal, which he believes can lead to more hatred and violence. He added that people should be careful about the words they use. "Words have a lot of power. Your two words can change someone's life. We should always try to speak positively and responsibly because our words carry energy," he said.

The actor further urged makers of such shows to stop promoting abusive behaviour in the name of entertainment. "I would like to request television channels and OTT platforms to stop creating such content in the name of reality shows. Today, all they seem to want are numbers. To get those numbers, they are creating such content and even big stars are hosting these shows and supporting people who do nothing except abuse and insult others. If this is someone's real personality, then I feel people like us have no place in this world because we don't abuse people or insult others to get attention," Sudhanshu concluded.

On the work front, Sudhanshu Pandey is best known for playing Vanraj Shah in the popular television show 'Anupamaa'. Apart from acting, he is also a stalwart singer he has also been associated with music for over two decades.
