Sony SAB and Hats Off Productions’ show Pushpa Impossible completed four years recently. For four beautiful years, Pushpa Randeriya Patel, played so effectively by Karuna Pandey, has been the face of resilience. From a feisty mother fighting for respect to stepping up as a lawyer, her character refuses to back down. Fans have watched her children grow, the family navigate countless storms, and Pushpa herself evolve with every challenge.
We at IWMBuzz.com talked exclusively to Karuna Pandey, where she spoke about the feat of the show completing four years, and also gave cues to what the writers can think of in the upcoming phase for her character.
Read on.
How does it feel seeing the audience embrace Pushpa’s unconventional ways so deeply?
It feels absolutely fantastic. Pushpa has been a character who isn’t perfect, approaching problems in her own unique way while helping her children understand life’s lessons. We’ve seen her raw and unfiltered side. People have embraced her authenticity because she feels so real. Rather than sticking to the typical route of making Pushpa politically correct, we chose to show her flaws, and this honesty really resonated with the audience.
Your thoughts on this humongous achievement of Pushpa Impossible, celebrating 4 years?
This accomplishment is not just ours; it’s a shared success with all our viewers who have supported us along the way. Your love and encouragement have been our guiding light throughout these four incredible years. It truly feels wonderful to celebrate this milestone together.
Pushpa can go places; she is a 360-degree character. Currently a lawyer, she can also take on the role of a detective, which opens the door to many exciting plotlines.
What do you want to tell the Producer and the writers on this special day?
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to JD Sir and the writers. It was JD Sir who chose me for the role of Pushpa, believing in my potential despite my past portrayals of negative characters. I will always be thankful to him for that vision. The writers have woven magic into the script, and the success of this project belongs to them first and foremost. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the director, the lighting team, and every department involved—they all deserve special recognition.
How has your physical and emotional approach to playing her changed as Pushpa grew more independent around the 4-year mark?
Initially, her demeanour was quite different. She often kept to herself and stayed in the background. Over the past four years, however, she has truly blossomed. She has dedicated herself to her studies and has now become a lawyer. While the essence of Pushpa remains unchanged, she has evolved and matured with time.
On this special day, do you wish for anything new to happen in Pushpa’s life?. Can you give a cue to the Producer/ writers through us? (smiles)
(Laughs). Pushpa can go places; she is a 360-degree character. Currently a lawyer, she can also take on the role of a detective, which opens the door to many exciting plotlines. There’s so much fun we can explore with Pushpa! Her character can evolve as she navigates her personal feelings and relationships. Being a woman who has always wanted to make a difference in society, we can delve into her journey of self-discovery and her desire to help others.
What are the goals you visualise for the show from now on?
I visualise good things for the show. The show should continue to entertain the audience, giving out messages as we always do; this will be our goal always.
