There’s more than one reason for Karuna Pandey to be revelling. While she is claiming the stage with her performances on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, the actor is in a celebratory mood as her show, Pushpa Impossible, is set to complete 500 episodes on Thursday. The journey that began in June 2022 has been rewarding for Pandey, whose popularity soared like never before while impacting people’s lives.
“It’s not common for a television show or movie to have such an impact. In a time when there’s a tonne of stuff to watch online, this show stands out [and convinces] people to live a better life. So many have come to me saying that Pushpa Impossible has made a big difference in their lives. It has inspired people to go back to school, respect their parents, and improve how they converse with their families,” says the actor, who claims she has personally learnt to tackle tough situations with positivity while working on the show. “The character is not ordinary; it is rich in depth and beauty. Being a part of it has been rewarding and brought about a big positive change in my life. While people knew me as an actor before, this show has made me more popular and helped me find a place in the audience’s hearts,” she says, adding that the viewers are able to connect with Pushpa, who deals with all the trials in her life with a positive and never-say-die attitude.
