A show that has been topping the TRP charts sure does put up with a lot of pressure, and well, it isn't wrong to say that everyone has their own thought process and way of dealing with it. Star Plus show Anupamaa, is one show that has garnered a lot of praise and continues to do so. It features Rupali Ganguly and Sudhanshu Pandey in the lead roles.

While talking about numbers to India Forums, Sudhanshu mentioned that it has never been something that he has worried about. He said, ''Numbers have never been in my scheme of things at all because that is not what I look at and that's not what I thought, that is not something I have in my mind, to begin with when I said yes to this role. In spite of knowing the fact that I will be the male lead of the show and there will be pressure and there are numbers that will come into play and this is a show which is not a run-of-a-mill show, it is very different.''

He further added, ''I knew this is going to be a huge risk but I had confidence that how can you go wrong with a subject like that and in spite of all that, I would have never thought in terms of numbers so I would never. I will just do my job and make sure that whatever I do as an actor will be absolute with 100% honesty and I think as long as that is there, the audience will be connected to you and they can see it in your eyes and connect with the emotions you are portraying, so that is what works for me.''

Well, it is true that at the end of it all, audiences connecting to what they see is what makes or breaks a show. Meanwhile, there have also been reports about Anupamaa all set to witness a new entry, and various names have been doing the rounds. However, Sudhanshu will continue being a part of the show, unlike rumours suggesting otherwise.

Give us a break from actors who claim awards are nothing, numbers are nothing. If that wasn’t the case, people would not be spending money on awards and actors would be getting jobs even if their shows didn’t have TRPS. Please let’s all be more honest about the hypocrisy of TV land, that way we can just assign them as guilty pleasures and move on. Let’s not make them more than they are
