Gaurav Chopra Opens Up About His Bond with Co-Actor Karuna Pandey

:

Mumbai, Sony SAB’s beloved show ‘Pushpa Impossible’ continues to strike a deep emotional chord with viewers across generations, thanks to its heartwarming and grounded storytelling. The recent entry of acclaimed actor Gaurav Chopra as Professor Rajveer Shastri has added a fresh and compelling layer to the narrative. As Pushpa embarks on her journey to study law at Professor Shastri’s college, their on-screen interactions promise new drama. But it’s the delightful off-screen friendship between Gaurav Chopra and Karuna Pandey that’s making equal waves.

Speaking about her rapport with Gaurav, Karuna Pandey shared,
"From our very first phone conversation, there was an unexpected ease and warmth that seamlessly carried into our scenes. While we are quite different personality-wise, there’s a unique sync when it comes to our dedication towards acting. Gaurav is thoughtful, grounded, and extremely nuanced in his performances. What I love the most is the balance we strike between intense scenes and hearty laughter. Rajveer may be a complex, brooding character, but between takes we’re often cracking up or teasing each other. Our lunch breaks are full of food and fun – it’s like flipping a switch from intensity to pure joy. There’s a rhythm, a comfort, and above all, a shared passion for the craft that I think the audience can feel too."

Gaurav Chopra, reflecting on his creative and personal bonding with Karuna, added,
"Joining a show that has been successfully running for three years is no small feat. The set has its rhythm, the audience is already emotionally invested, and then you walk in as the new element bringing disruption. Rajveer is a layered, wounded character, but the viewers see him through Pushpa’s eyes. Even before I arrived on set, Karuna ji sent her best wishes through the team. And believe it or not, our bond actually started with a lighthearted debate – ‘tea vs coffee’! Karuna ji is a die-hard tea lover and I swear by black coffee. What began as a joke turned into a fun crew-wide split into ‘Team Tea’ and ‘Team Coffee’! It’s moments like these that break the ice and build true connection, and I believe that ease is reflected in our on-screen chemistry."
