Senior actress Karuna Pandey, who plays the role of Pushpa Randeriya in Sony SAB and Hats Off Productions’ show Pushpa Impossible, believes that 2025 was a truly fulfilling year for her, both personally and professionally. She talks exclusively with IWMBuzz.com about the challenges faced in the past year and her outlook for the new year, 2026.
Says Karuna, “There were a few challenging moments in 2025, but they only strengthened my resolve to stand for what I believe in and continue working with compassion and responsibility. Overall, it has truly been a wonderful year.”
She takes a moment to talk about the happiest moments of 2025, and says, “My happiest moments have been coming back home after a wonderful day at work and being welcomed by my fur babies. The simple joy of being with them and the warmth they bring every single day keeps me grounded, happy and grateful. Along with that, professionally, it has also been an extremely rewarding year, which makes these memories even more special.”
Speaking about her learnings, she says, “This year itself has been the biggest teacher. The experiences I lived through, the people I worked with and the situations I navigated helped me grow, become stronger, stay hopeful and value kindness even more. The positivity, support and love I received from people around me truly inspired and motivated me throughout the year. It has been a year that has shaped me in a very positive way.”
She continues to say, “One of the biggest accomplishments for me in 2025 has been discovering my inner strength and becoming more proactive in meaningful causes. I also took a big step forward by moving ahead with my trust, which is something very close to my heart.”
“Maintaining a disciplined routine has really helped me. Eating early, resting well and beginning my day with purpose has brought a lot of balance and positivity. One habit I consciously let go of in 2025 is late-night eating, and that change has made a big difference to my energy and wellbeing.”
Karuna welcomes the New Year with utmost positivity. “My priorities remain the same to excel in my work, continue growing as an actor, stay committed to my craft and contribute meaningfully wherever I can. I also want to ensure that I balance my professional commitments with personal happiness and emotional peace.”
