EXCLUSIVE: Pankit Thakker Slams Radhika Madan’s Controversial TV Statement: Very Shameful And…

Pankit Thakker Exclusive: Pankit Thakker, who marked his television debut in 2001 with the series Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii alongside Anita Hassanandani and Urvashi Dholakia, has made remarkable progress in his career. He gained significant recognition for his role in Karan Singh Grover's Dill Mill Gayye and is presently appearing in Janam Janam Ka Saath on Dangal TV.

While Pankit continues to excel in his professional life, he recently engaged in an exclusive conversation with Filmibeat, addressing Radhika Madan's controversial comment regarding long working hours on TV.

Radhika Madan, a TV actress turned Bollywood star, is currently earning rave reviews for her performance in the recently-released OTT film Kacchey Limbu. The actress, who first rose to fame after essaying the lead role of Ishaani in Ekta Kapoor's Colors show Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi, recently shared her memories of working as a television actor, revealing the demanding nature of her schedule.

She recalled dedicating 48-50 hours per shift to her work. Whenever she requested the script, she would often be informed, "Aap set pe chalo, script garma garam aa rahi hai" (You just come to the sets, the script will be freshly printed). This meant that the directors would make last-minute changes, and whichever director was available would come to shoot the scenes.

In a recent interview, she finally took a U-Turn and claimed that she has learned everything due to the TV medium.

Pankit Thakker, who is appalled by Radhika's statement, slammed her and told Filmibeat, "I was appalled by Radhika Madan's recent statement belittling television industry. It was a very shameful and disgusting thought process, especially coming from someone who owes her success to it. And now she has backtracked on her comments and admitted that she has learned everything through television."

He added, "Madan's wavering comments has left me wondering about her stand on the issue. On one hand, she belittles the TV industry for their long working hours, while on the other, she acknowledges that she has learned everything through television. This kind of dilly-dallying seems to suggest a lack of clarity in her thoughts. Radhika's comments seem to be rash and ill-informed."

Pankit is not happy with Radhika disrespecting the TV industry. Irked with her, the actor added, "Learning something from the TV industry and disrespecting the same in the same breath is being completely thankless on her part. Radhika Madan seems to be under the impression that working in films is superior to working in television.

According to Pankit, Radhika should have thought twice before making comments like these. Taking a dig at her film choices, he concluded, "I hope she realizes that it's easy for someone like Radhika, who has managed to score a few roles in films, to look down upon television. But let's be real - her film choices are hardly going to lead her anywhere close to success. If anything, her IQ definitely needs to be questioned after the disastrous Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. It is crucial for her to have a self-check on her comments before making any public statements."

We wonder how Radhika Madan would react to it.
