Sudhanshu Pandey on slamming Apoorva Mukhija for her abusive language: ‘I’m happy that at least a few people understood’
Sudhanshu Pandey acted in the movie ‘Khiladi 420‘ and became popular as part of India’s first boy band, A Band of Boys. Recently, he appeared in ‘The Traitors India’. In a recent interview, he talked about the abusive behavior of artists like Apoorva Mukhija.Speaking Out Against Abusive CultureTalking to Bollywood Bubble, Sudhanshu talked about the abusive culture in reality TV shows and said, “I voiced my opinion on that because I saw what was happening, only in that one episode, and I expressed it. Whatever my concern was, I spoke up. Some people understood it, and some didn’t. But those who did—great. I’m happy that at least a few people understood.” He added that as long as some people are understanding and can take care moving forward in life, his job is done. Sudhanshu emphasized that he does not want to promote abusive language or disrespect towards other human beings.Importance of Traditional ValuesHe emphasized that promoting abusive behavior is something he would never do, as it goes against the principles of living in a civilized society. He highlighted the importance of the traditional values, or sanskaar, that people in the country grow up with, explaining that these values shape culture, traditions, and social relationships. According to him, sanskaar helps distinguish between parents, elders, siblings, and friends, and if everyone were spoken to in the same disrespectful manner, it would blur these important distinctions and undermine the fabric of society.Frustration with Justifications for AbuseAdding further on justifying rude and abusive behavior, Sudhanshu expressed frustration with people who defend such conduct. He mentioned that while he usually ignores negativity on social media, he has received messages where individuals try to justify abusive behavior. He feels some people are beyond reasoning, especially those who believe that Gen Z has a license to speak or act disrespectfully. Rather than wasting time trying to convince them, he prefers to engage with those open to learning and understanding, valuing meaningful dialogue with receptive individuals.
