Last Updated:
Sudhanshu Pandey embarked on a spiritual journey to seek blessings at Tirupati Balaji and Kainchi Dham before the launch of The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar.
Popular television actor Sudhanshu Pandey, known for his standout performance in Anupamaa, is all set to take on a new challenge with his participation in the Karan Johar-hosted reality series The Traitors. Ahead of the show's grand premiere, the actor took a spiritual tour by visiting sacred temples and seeking divine blessings. Following his holy trip to the peaceful Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand, he has now taken a spiritual sabbatical at Tirupati Balaji.
On June 12, he dropped a bunch of pictures on Instagram from his sacred trip. Dressed in traditional attire, he offered fans a glimpse of the sacred temple and his moments at the site. The first snippet showed the actor standing beside the gigantic and beautiful idol of Lord Balaji, exuding his bright smile. Following this, he was seen bowing down and worshipping the lord. He also gave fans a glimpse of the beautiful holy temple.
Alongside the pictures, he penned, 'Before stepping into a new chapter, I always believe in bowing my head in gratitude. Today, as The Traitors goes live on Amazon Prime at 8 PM, I found myself seeking divine blessings at Tirupati Balaji, a place that brings immense peace, clarity, and strength."
Reflecting on his journey from fashion model to actor and a former member of India's first boy band, the Anupamaa star described The Traitors as more than just a reality show. He said, 'This show isn't just another project. It's a powerful experience that dives deep into trust, betrayal, strategy, and survival. And in many ways, it reflects the journey of life… My early days have been filled with both challenges and beautiful milestones. Every phase shaped me, grounded me, and led me to this very moment. I'm truly excited (and a bit nervous) to present something so intense, raw, and thrilling."
As Pandey gears up for this exciting new chapter, he thanked Mahakaal Baba, Amazon Prime Video and BBC for the opportunity, ending his post with, 'Blessings from Balaji for this new beginning. Blessings from all of you matter the most too. Watch #TheTraitors streaming today at 8 PM only on @primevideoin. Let the game begin…"

In the clip, she discussed missing her late actor-brother while also explaining what SSR stood for. Shweta mentioned that Sushant is still alive in our hearts and urged everyone not ever to spread negativity using his name. In the caption of her post, Shweta also wrote and reflected on what she said in the video. 'Today is Bhai 5th Death Anniversary, a lot has happened since his death on 14th June 2020. Now CBI has submitted a report to the court and we are in a process of retrieving it. But what I want to say today is no matter what happens, don't loose heart and don't loose faith on god or in goodness. Always remember what our Sushant stood for… purity, an unquenchable zeal for life and learning, a heart full of love which believed in treating everyone equally and doing charity. His smile and his eyes had this child like innocence which could stir anyone's heart with overflowing love. That's what our Sushant stood for. That's what we have to stand for,' she wrote. 'Bhai hasn't gone anywhere believe me… he is in you, in me, in all of us. Everytime we love with all our heart, everytime we have child like innocence towards life, everytime we are inclined to learn more, we are bringing him alive. Never use Bhai's name to spread any negative feeling… he wouldn't like that. He didn't stand for that. Look how many people's heart and mind he touched and influenced…. Let his legacy continue… you be the burning candle that lights up other candles to continue his legacy. Any great person's legacy always grows after he has passed on….. you know why is that? Because the magnetism of their personality sows seeds and influences minds for generations to come….❤️🙏 (sic)," she added. Besides this, Shweta also shared a series of throwback pictures to remember her late brother. In one of the photos, the actor was seen spending time with his father.

Ex-girlfriend of Aaron Rodgers reacts after he confirms secret marriage: "It's really just harassment"
Aaron Rodgers confirms he's married—ex-girlfriend breaks silence (Getty Images) Aaron Rodgers, one of the NFL's most iconic quarterbacks, has always made headlines—both on and off the field. On Tuesday, after completing his first official workout with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers finally put long-standing rumors to rest regarding his relationship status. The speculation began swirling last month when he was spotted at the Kentucky Derby sporting a ring on his left hand, triggering questions about a secret wedding. Those whispers only grew louder when the Steelers posted a photo of him signing his one-year deal while wearing what looked like a wedding band. Aaron Rodgers secretly married months ago—ex-girlfriend finally breaks silence with a surprising reaction Aaron Rodgers ended the mystery in a low-key but definitive way. 'Been a couple of months,' he said when asked how long he's been married. And just like that, fans knew—he's officially off the market. His wife's identity, however, remains under wraps. Back in December, the four-time MVP revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that he was dating someone named Brittani. That appears to be the relationship that led to marriage, although Rodgers hasn't offered more details. Before tying the knot, Rodgers had a well-documented history of high-profile relationships. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Men Over 40 Are Dumping Viagra After Trying This $5 Game-Changer FridayPlans Learn more Undo He dated Danica Patrick, was engaged to Shailene Woodley, and was also linked to Mallory Edens—daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens. The rumored romance with Edens never reached official confirmation, but her name re-entered the spotlight following Rodgers' surprise marriage. Edens, a Princeton graduate and prominent Instagram influencer, didn't stay entirely silent amid the storm. But rather than addressing the relationship speculation directly, she spoke out against the invasive nature of the media frenzy. 'Tracking down somebody's cellphone number, calling them at all hours of the day and asking for a comment on a gossip magazine story isn't journalism, it's really just harassment,' she wrote in an Instagram Story. In the same post, Edens added, 'If we work together and you can't reach me, I'm sorry — please shoot me an email and I can share my new number.' The message suggests that the attention got so intense, she had to change her phone number to escape the chaos. Over the years, Edens has made a name for herself beyond being linked to famous figures. With experience at top modeling agencies like Ford Models and Women Management, and a growing online following, she's carved out her own space in the public eye. Yet her message was clear: even public figures deserve boundaries. Meanwhile, Rodgers seems content to keep his personal life shielded from the spotlight. With a new chapter unfolding in Pittsburgh, the future Hall of Famer appears focused on football—and maybe a bit of peace and privacy too. Whether he chooses to open up further or not, it's clear that both he and Edens are drawing their own lines in a world that rarely respects them.
