Sudhanshu Pandey SLAMS Apoorva Mukhija: 'I Don't Need Controversy To Validate My Presence'
Sudhanshu Pandey also accused Apoorva Mukhija of living in her own "little delulu world".
Sudhanshu Pandey and Apoorva Mukhija have made several statements against each other ever since they were eliminated from the reality show, The Traitors. While the former Anupamaa actor has often accused Apporva of being arrogant and disrespectful, the latter has also alleged that Pandey is seeking fame by using her name.
Now, Sudhanshu Pandey has issued a long statement, slamming Apoorva. He accused the content creator of living in her own 'little delulu world" and gave a befitting reply to her for saying that Pandey speaks about her in '80 per cent of his interviews".
'Some people thrive on drama and live in their own little delulu worlds. I spoke about her once, and now she's out there milking that moment for content. I have graced front pages and magazine covers long before thumbnails even existed, so it's honestly amusing to watch people, whose entire relevance is built around clickbait, try and stir something out of nothing," Sudhanshu Pandey's statement read.
He further accused Apoorva of being arrogant and added, 'What shocks me more is how hard she's flipped! The tone in which she had sent me a message post the show, apologising for her conduct, was so nice, and I even forgave her with a lot of love and thought it was all done and dusted! But cut to a camera and suddenly there's arrogance, attitude, and a whole new personality of her back to square one. I don't understand how people manage to juggle multiple masks so easily. I have never been that person. I say what I feel, I speak my truth, but I never go low, never hit below the belt."
Further taking a dig at Apoorva, Sudhanshu stated, 'Unlike others, I don't need controversy to validate my presence. My career has outlived many people's entire existence in this space, and I say that without ego, just facts. If riding my name gives them some headline joy, they are welcome. Think of it as a gift from me!"
Apoorva Mukhija has not reacted to Sudhanshu Pandey's new statement as of now.

Song Young-Kyu Found Dead In Vehicle Days After Driving Under Influence Controversy
Veteran South Korean actor Song Young-Kyu, 55, was found dead a week after a DUI scandal. Yongin Eastern Police Station in Gyeonggi-do is investigating the case. Veteran South Korean actor Song Young-Kyu has been found dead just days after he was embroiled in a driving under the influence (DUI) controversy that had begun affecting his career. He was 55 years old. According to media reports, Song was discovered unconscious inside a parked vehicle at a townhouse complex in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, around 8:00 AM on Sunday. The Yongin Eastern Police Station has launched an investigation into the circumstances of his death. Authorities were reportedly alerted by an acquaintance who found him in the vehicle. A source quoted by Koreaboo said, 'He was distressed by the malicious articles and comments, and the circumstances were extremely unfavorable at that time." Just over a week before his death, Song had been booked without detention for driving under the influence. The incident occurred on June 19 in Yongin, after Song had reportedly consumed alcohol with acquaintances and attempted to drive home. His blood alcohol content was said to be over 0.08 per cent, leading to the revocation of his driver's license. The incident came to light after a local resident reported it to the police. Song chose not to issue a public statement about the matter. The backlash was swift. Song was removed from the stage play Shakespeare In Love following the incident. In South Korea, where public figures are held to high standards, such infractions often have serious professional consequences. At the time of the scandal, Song was appearing as Pastor Yoon Se Hoon in ENA's Monday–Tuesday drama Eye Shopping, and had also filmed for The Defects. In response to the controversy, the production team behind The Defects stated that they would minimise his screen time in the final edit. 'Since it is a pre-produced drama, filming has been completed, and it seems that editing will be kept to a minimum so as not to affect the flow of the plot or the viewer's perception of the plot," they told OSEN on July 25. Song began his acting career in 1994 with the children's musical Wizard Mureul. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of death.
