Sudhanshu said, 'Apoorva, who is known as The Rebel Kid, already has enough controversies surrounding her. I'm not saying she's a bad person. She's a good kid. I'm sure she has a good heart, too. But jab aapki zubaan kharaab ho jaaye na, toh wo sab kuch kharaab kar deti hai. (Your tone and words can damage everything).

A post shared by Sudhanshu Pandey (@sudanshu_pandey) The actor confessed that he was shocked to hear her remark, as he notes, 'Is he your childhood friend or what? Is he your childhood friend? What kind of way is this to talk about people — about actors who are older than even your parents? You're talking about them like this behind their back? What does this say about you? Please tell me — is this Gen Z? Is this what we think is cool? No, I'm sorry — this is not cool at all. I think this is the biggest bullsh*t, and it's like a curse on our society'. Taking example from his personal life, Sudhanshu shared, 'Even I have kids, and even they are Gen-Z and they are extremely respectful to other people. So I am sorry, I think there are a lot of problems." The Indian adaptation of the hit Dutch reality show features Karan Johar as the host. Twenty contestants, including names like Uorfi Javed, Apoorva Mukhija, Anshula Kapoor, Raftaar, Raj Kundra, Sahil Salathia, Lakshi Manchu, and Karan Kundrra, are split into Traitors and the Faithful. The reality show is a murder mystery with a dash of intrigue thrown in. It was released on Prime Video on June 12. Raj Kundra became the first contestant to be eliminated from the show after Apoorva Mukhija exposed him as a traitor. The fourth episode of Prime Video's The Traitors dropped on June 19. The circle of shaq sat down again after a day of deliberations, and the doubts fell on Maheep Kapoor and Raftaar. Ultimately, it was Maheep who was voted out of the show.

Telugu films succeed because they stay true to Indian roots: Sudhanshu Pandey
Actor Sudhanshu Pandey , best known as Vanraj in the TV series Anupamaa, recently visited Hyderabad and went on a spiritual trip to Tirupati Balaji temple. In a candid chat with Hyderabad Times, the actor spoke about his admiration for Telugu cinema, and his recent visit to Tirupati Balaji Temple. Sudhanshu praised the Telugu filmmakers for their honesty and loyalty to the audience. He said, 'I believe Telugu films' success comes from the filmmakers' commitment to deliver to the audiences' expectations. Their respect for the audience, their honesty and dedication have even taken them to the Oscars.' Comparing Bollywood to Tollywood, he added, 'There is a lack of conviction in Bollywood right now. Filmmaking in the Hindi film industry often starts with big names attached rather than focusing on the script. ' Sudhanshu also opened about his recent visit to Tirupati Balaji temple and described it as a divine calling. He revealed that he initially didn't plan to visit but did so after everyone's suggestions. "The first trip to Tirupati Balaji temple was almost a decade ago when I was shooting in Chennai. I had driven down then, and the experience stayed with me. I hope I start going more regularly now, " says Sudhanshu. - Biswajit Talukdar

Sudhanshu Pandey says 'The Traitors' was meditative, reveals why it was challenging Karan Johar: 'Don't remember the last time someone disrespected me'
has been a heartthrob since the 90s ever since people were introduced to 'Band Of Boys' and also when he was a popular model. But in more recent times, he's remembered for being Vanraj from ' Anupama '. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though, he's done over 50 movies in his career. However, the actor is now on a new journey, as he ventured into the reality space with ' The Traitors '. The series hosted by also has many other contestants like Uorfi Javed , Apurva Mukhija, , Harsh Gujral, Anshula Kapoor among many others. In a chat with ETimes, when asked about his strategy for the show, Sudhanshu said, "I'm exactly the way you see me. In fact, you know, when when the poster was launched at Yash Raj, and they asked me what is going to be your strategy, I said that my strategy is going to be having no strategy at all. I'm just going to be myself. And for me, that is what a reality show is. I'm not there to put an act or put up a facade. Because, I guess when you are in a reality space, it's the only chance for an actor, or at least somebody who's been working for so many years as I have been, is the only chance for the audience to see the real side of an actor." Talking about the experience on the show and what he's learnt so far, he expressed, "It was a very meditative space to be in, because we would play the whole day and then go back to our rooms at night and be just completely by yourself. There was only one TV, there was no internet, there was nothing, there was no phone, there was no Wi Fi. So you were completely disconnected." Sudhanshu revealed how the show was a great lesson for him in observing people. "I was observing everybody there and how they behave. They were splitting their personality every other second. You realise, there's all sorts of people there. So, it makes you sit and observe about the kind of people around you or what kind of people are they growing into. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It was a great observation class for me and a great vacation I would say." Sudhanshu also spoke about host Karan Johar and why this series would have been so challenging for him. "Karan is a a people's person, and he loves talking and chatting. It was a challenge for him to host something like this, because he had to keep a straight face and not interact." The actor also opened up why there is less possibility of him having fights or rifts with anyone on the series. "I conduct myself in such a way that I give a lot of respect to people around me. So, I also get a lot of respect in return. The risk of somebody coming and disrespecting me for no reason is very less, very little. I don't remember last time, somebody just disrespected me for no reason," said Sudhanshu.

Haryana delivery boy arrested in UP's Muzaffarnagar for supplying illegal arms
A 23-year-old man working as a delivery boy for a well-known company in Haryana has been arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district for allegedly supplying illegal arms, PTI reported, citing police, on Saturday. Police recovered 10 country-made pistols, a motorcycle, and several cartridges from him in the Ramraj police station area. The accused, identified as Sudhanshu, was arrested on Friday after police intercepted his vehicle while he was allegedly en route to deliver illegal weapons, PTI quoted officials as saying. SSP Sanjay Kumar told reporters that Sudhanshu was supplying illegal arms across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab. During interrogation, Sudhanshu revealed that he was working with six other associates who are currently absconding. Police said efforts are underway to track and arrest them. Kumar further said that Sudhanshu has a criminal background, with five cases already registered against him. Last month, Delhi Police arrested five illegal arms manufacturers and suppliers from Rajasthan during a three-day operation, PTI reported, citing officials. The accused were allegedly supplying country-made firearms to several gangs, including the Vikas Lagarpuria gang, officials said. The operation resulted in the recovery of 10 country-made pistols, a long 12-bore rifle, and 17 cartridges, police said. A hilltop unit used for manufacturing weapons was also dismantled, with tools and equipment seized from the site. The arrests came as part of an ongoing probe into an Arms Act case registered at the Crime Branch Police Station in Delhi. The investigation followed the earlier arrest of Rohit Gahlot, a key member of the Lagarpuria gang. The accused were identified as Harvinder Singh, Sonu Singh, Mubin, Sher Mohmad alias Sheru, and Juber. Of these, Mubin and Sheru were the main manufacturers, while the others served as couriers and suppliers to criminal networks in Delhi and adjoining states. Police said the operation was carried out based on intelligence developed specifically to disrupt illegal arms supply chains used in robberies, extortion, and inter-gang rivalries in Delhi and surrounding areas. Multiple hideouts across four villages were raided simultaneously during the crackdown. (With PTI inputs)
