Sudhanshu Pandey has been in the entertainment business since the 1990s and he has tried various professions in the business. Starting as a model, he eventually had a career as a singer, actor and even a host. Recently, Sudhanshu was seen in the Amazon Prime show The Traitors where he reached the finale, but did not win. In a new interview, Sudhanshu spoke about his long career and shared that his parents had a 30-room mansion in Gorakhpur but he grew up with middle class values.
In a chat shared on Varinder Chawla’s YouTube channel, Sudhanshu was asked about his trick to “staying grounded” despite all the success and he shared that his “background” has kept him humble. “I think the biggest strength for people like me is the background we come from and that background is very simple, middle class background. I have always felt that has been my strength because I have known my reality. I know where I come from and where I belong,” he said and quickly added that his parental house in Gorakhpur is a 30-room mansion.
“My parental house was in a place called Gorakhpur. We are originally from Uttarakhand but my parental house was in Gorakhpur and it was a 30-room haveli. We used to have cows so I came from that background. Yet, we were all middle class simple people,” he said. Sudhanshu added, “The simplicity that came to me from my parents and our life, was so basic and simple that that is what my foundation was. And I think because that foundation was so strong, it never let me get shaken up at any given point in life.”
In a recent chat with Galatta India, Sudhanshu Pandey opened up about facing casting couch in the entertainment industry and said, “Yes, I have faced the casting couch. I have been offered work as a barter by a very renowned filmmaker who is now no more. God bless his soul, he was one of the greatest filmmakers. I was offered the role against a compromise.”
