Vanraj Shah will always be the hero of the show: Sudhanshu Pandey of ‘Anupamaa’

Star Plus show ‘Anupamaa’ is getting quite interesting with each passing episode. The current track revolves around Anuj and Anupamaa’s blooming romance while they also contemplate adopting a girl child. While viewers are loving Anuj-Anu’s romance, they’re surely missing the swag of Vanraj Shah.

India Forums got in touch with actor Sudhanshu Pandey who plays the character of Vanraj in the show and asked him about the same, Sudhanshu said, “Vanraj has been there in the show since the beginning. Vanraj was the hero of the show and will always remain the hero, come what may. The catch is that Vanraj is not a typical hero while Anuj’s character is a typical good boy, extremely good boy. His character is like that of person who would almost do anything for Anupamaa. He would even kiss the soil that she steps on, which is why probably people like to see somebody like that”.

He added, “Vanraj wasn’t a very typical character, probably the first protagonist of a show whose grey shaded; because he is realistic, he is a man like you, me or anybody else. We’re all grey people. We’re neither fully white nor entirely black. We’re humans, we react, we get angry, frustrated, laugh, we’re vulnerable, we love; all of that and that’s what Vanraj Shah is all about and obviously because Anupamaa and Anuj had a love track, the makers had to give the audience what they demanded and now that track is over but the show needs to have drama and the drama has to come from one way and that will be delivered as that’s the strength of our show”.
