Sudhanshu Pandey responds gracefully to Harsh Gujral’s comment on The Traitors "It Was Deeply Embarrassing"

Actor Sudhanshu Pandey, who is being praised for his calm and dignified game on The Traitors, recently addressed a controversy that surfaced during a recent episode. The issue was brought up during an Instagram Live session where fans asked Sudhanshu to comment on a remark made by fellow contestant and comedian Harsh Gujral.

The comment in question was made during the show, where Harsh casually joked that "Sudhanshu Pandey needs to be controlled" and accused him of "going gaga over Elnaaz Norouzi." The statement did not go down well with fans, many of whom felt it was disrespectful, cheap, and unnecessary.

Sudhanshu responded to the issue with grace and maturity. During his live session, he shared that the remark genuinely hurt him and that it caused discomfort not only to him but also to his family. He said,“I was watching the show with my family, including my children. When that comment was made, it became extremely uncomfortable for all of us. The kids just froze. It was shocking and deeply embarrassing. I felt gutted hearing something like that, especially from someone like Harsh Gujral. It’s important to remember that not everything should be joked about. There’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed. Respect matters. People, especially comedians, should think carefully before making loose statements—especially about a senior actor.”
