Pushpa Impossible actress Indraxi Kanjilal on her deep love for music: It is my therapy, my soul, and my safe space
On the occasion of World Music Day, actress Indraxi Kanjilal, who is currently winning hearts as Prarthana in the popular TV show Pushpa Impossible, opened up about her deep-rooted connection with music. For Indraxi, music is far more than just background entertainment—it's a life force, an emotional healer, and a part of her cultural identity. 'I think music is the most important part of my life,' she shares. 'When I want to calm down, enjoy myself or feel happy in the moment, I listen to music. It has become a part of my everyday life. Even when I feel upset or have a breakdown, I simply play music, and instantly, I feel better.' She further adds, 'Music is like therapy for me. I don't usually go to therapy because I don't have the time or energy, but music gives me that same peace and healing. It keeps me calm and also gives me energy when I need it. If I had to choose between music and something like fashion or good clothes, I would still choose music. Music is a part of my culture, my soul, my everyday life.' Indraxi's taste in music spans across genres and languages. From old Bollywood classics to international pop, her playlist is as vibrant as her personality. 'I love old romantic songs, K-pop, American pop… and if I have to name my favorites, Lata Mangeshkar, Shreya Ghoshal, Arijit Singh, and Kishore Kumar are right at the top,' she says. Among international artists, 'Elvis Presley, Taylor Swift , Ariana Grande , Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, and Megan Thee Stallion are some of my go-tos.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo She continues, 'Right now, I'm obsessed with Ariana Grande's Only One and Honeymoon Avenue. Another favorite is Taylor Swift's All Too Well. Every time I hear it, I sing with all my heart.' The actress, who hails from Kolkata, believes music can uplift any mood. 'Every time I feel upset, I play some upbeat music, and my mood becomes better almost instantly. Even at night, when I can't sleep, I listen to soft music and I'm asleep within a few songs.' On the trend of remixing old classics, Indraxi is clear in her stance. 'I don't like the idea of remixing legendary songs into loud, disco-style versions. They take away the original magic and charm. One remake I actually liked was Gulabi Aankhen by Sanam. He kept the soul of the song intact.' Indraxi's words reflect a profound respect for the emotional and cultural power of music—an art form that, for her, goes far beyond mere sound. Whether on screen or in life, she continues to live with rhythm, emotion, and grace.

Exclusive: Karuna Pandey recalls not being convinced about her role in Pushpa Impossible; says ‘The decision to do it was truly a turning point for me'
In an exclusive conversation with Times of India TV, actress Karuna Pandey reflected on the career-defining moment that led her to star in Pushpa Impossible. Known for her powerful portrayal of Pushpa, Karuna shared how initially, she wasn't even convinced about taking up the role. 'The turning point, of course, was when I initially wasn't planning to go for this show—not even for the audition or the screen test—because I wasn't very convinced by the character they were calling me for. But still, I decided to go, just to take a chance. Surprisingly, when I got there, I was given the script for a completely different character—Pushpa. And the moment I read it, I said yes. Gradually, I ended up getting the part. So, I believe that decision was truly a turning point for me—because characters like Pushpa, and shows like Pushpa Impossible, don't come along very often,' she recalled. Speaking about how she keeps herself relevant and growing in an ever-changing entertainment industry, Karuna emphasized the importance of staying natural and open to change.
