Sudhanshu Pandey has been a part of many movies and TV shows. His performance as Vanraj Shah in Anupamaa had grabbed everyone's attention.

The actor is currently seen in Amazon Prime Video's reality show, The Traitors, which is hosted by Karan Johar.

You had kept yourself away from reality shows, but what made you say yes to The Traitors?

When I was approached for this, it was exactly what you said. I mean, I told them that if it's anywhere close to a show like Bigg Boss or something, consider this a 'no' because I don't see myself in that space. The makers said that we would like to have a virtual meeting with you so we can explain to you the whole concept, format and everything. So, that's how it started. They explained to me the whole format and how it will be, and how it is like an award-winning format from Europe; it's a very classy kind of game show. They said that we'll get people from all walks of life, and that is what they did, apart from a couple of people in the show who are known for their notorious behaviour.

You have played this grey character of Vanraj Shah in Anupamaa, so the audience was expecting that they would get to see that side of yours in the show as well. They expected that you would be doing a lot of plotting and planning, but that's not happening. Why?
