‘I’m very adventurous’, says actor Shagun Pandey

How did you bag the role in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya?

I have been a part of Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya (PTKK) since the formative years of my career. I played a village guy in Season 7. Then I was also a part of Mirza Saheba story two years ago and now I’m back on the show. I like doing PTKK because it brings me out of my comfort zone.

Tell us about your role…

I am playing the role of Sudesh Pillai, a South-Indian pilot. He is an explorer and has gone on a trek. Due to some mishaps, he had to book a house and that’s where the actual story begins.

Do you relate to your reel character in real life?

Yes, I’m also very adventurous. I like going out and traveling. Last I had gone on a road trip from Chandigarh to Leh with my friends and it was a memorable one. I completely relate to my reel character from PTKK.

Since you are shooting in Jaipur, have you got the time to explore the city?

Since the shoot schedule has been quite tight and we are trying to finish it on time, I have not got the opportunity to explore Jaipur.

What does love mean to you?

When two people are willing to be with each other and all the external factors like society, people and caste system do not matter to them – that is love.

Any relationship advice for the youth?

Infatuation is not love. A lot of understanding and efforts need to be put into a relationship to make it work.

What do you look for before taking up any role?

Before taking up any role, I always see that I get something new to perform.
