Star
Plus’
Anupamaa
has
quickly
become
one
of
the
most
successful
and
popular
shows
on
Indian
television
right
now.
The
Rupali
Ganguly
fronted
drama
has
Sudhanshu
Pandey
as
her
husband,
who’s
seen
having
an
extramarital
affair.
As
a
result,
the
actor
keeps
getting
hate
messages
on
his
social
media
handles.
And
now,
the
46-year-old
has
opened
up
about
the
polarising
reactions
he
receives
in
an
interview
with
the
Times
of
India.
Sudhanshu
said,
“It
is
good
to
know
that
people
hate
my
character
so
much,
but
getting
messages
like
'I
will
chop
you
into
pieces
and
give
them
to
the
dogs’
is
too
much.
It
plays
on
your
mind.
We
Indians
really
drive
high
on
emotions
and
that
is
why
they,
probably,
hate
me
so
much,
which
is
a
compliment
to
the
actor
in
me.
But
the
character
that
I
play
in
the
serial
is
the
opposite
of
who
I
am
in
real
life.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“Initially,
I
was
unable
to
say
all
those
mean
dialogues
to
Rupali
(Ganguly),
who
plays
my
wife
in
the
serial.
Since
these
things
were
constantly
on
my
mind,
I
was
toying
with
the
idea
of
releasing
a
video
online
to
tell
people
that
I
am
not
like
this
in
real
life.”
For
the
unversed,
Sudhanshu
has
been
married
for
more
than
two
decades
now.
Speaking
about
his
on
and
off-screen
avatars,
Sudhanshu
said,
“Just
like
every
husband,
I
am
scared
of
my
wife,
too.
I
am
not
like
my
character
Vanraj,
who
doesn’t
fear
his
wife.
In
fact,
even
my
wife
Mona
has
told
me
twice
that
she
hates
me
because
of
what
I
do
with
my
wife
on
screen,
so
you
can
imagine
how
much
hatred
I
have
received
from
people
around
me!”
