Sudhanshu Pandey, a popular TV actor, who is also a contestant in the Amazon Prime show The Traitors, recently slammed Apoorva Mukhija for insulting veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi. He expressed his feelings during an Instagram live session and said that her tone was not cool, but inappropriate. The Anupamaa actor expressed his views regarding Apoorva’s ‘Ashish Jayega’ remark. During the Instagram live, Sudhanshu Pandey mentioned that this doesn’t reflect well on the current generation.
Sudhanshu Pandey said, “Apoorva, who is known as The Rebel Kid, already has enough controversies surrounding her. I’m not saying she’s a bad person. She’s a good kid. I’m sure she has a good heart, too. But jab aapki zubaan kharaab ho jaaye na, toh wo sab kuch kharaab kar deti hai. (Your tone and words can damage everything). Everything else goes for a toss if you do not have the know-how about what to say, and how to speak, about people who are senior to you”.

He also confessed, “Ashish bhai - Ashish Vidyarthi, who is such a senior actor, he’s very senior to me as well. So, behind my back, she was talking about Ashish bhai, and was saying, 'Mujhe lagta hai Ashish jayega’. (I feel Ashish will go).” He also showed his disapproval over her tone and said, Is he your childhood friend? What kind of way is this to talk about people - about actors who are older than even your parents? You’re talking about them like this behind their back? What does this say about you? Please tell me, is this Gen Z? Is this what we think is cool? No, I’m sorry, this is not cool at all.”
The actor also gave an example from his own life and said that he also has kids who are Gen-Z, but they never show disrespect to anyone older than them. During his recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor also opened up about the real reason for joining the sensational reality show The Traitors, despite not liking the concept of other similar shows. He explained that the makers of the show sent him some videos of the original show that instantly made him realise that this is a mind game, and he could be a good fit.
Meanwhile, Apoorva Mukhija, aka The Rebel Kid, has also been making some headlines after indulging in some intense verbal discussions with Uorfi Javed, leading them to fight on the reality show. Later on, the famous fashion influencer Uorfi Javed took to her Instagram to reveal that their fight was planned by uploading some screenshots from their chat.
