Did You Know? Vasudha actress Mandeep Kaur was a school teacher before she became an actor
Vasudha has firmly captivated audiences with its intricate storytelling and emotionally charged drama. As tensions escalate, with Karishma (Pratiksha Rai) planting a bomb at a product launch and Megha (Mandeep Kaur) making evil moves against the Chauhan family, the two sisters continue to deepen the intrigue. Yet, behind Megha's composed and cunning persona lies Mandeep Kaur's transformative journey, one that began not in front of a camera but in a classroom. Before stepping into the world of television, Mandeep was a dedicated schoolteacher, nurturing secondary school students. For her, Teaching was more than just a profession, it was a passion. But hidden in the everyday routine was a creative spark, which took its first step when she auditioned for a television commercial. What began as an experiment soon became a calling. From ad films to Punjabi cinema and now Hindi GEC, Mandeep found herself evolving into a performer, one role at a time. Mandeep Kaur shares, 'Teaching was never just a job; it was a part of who I was. I loved the classroom energy, the daily exchange of ideas, and the quiet pride of watching my students grow. But life has a strange way of nudging you in new directions. My first time in front of the camera was for a small TV ad, and I still remember the feeling, I felt seen in a way I hadn't before. Acting became a new language, one that allowed me to express everything I couldn't say out loud. One opportunity led to another, and slowly, I found myself falling in love with the craft.' She adds, 'Playing Megha has been one of the most enriching challenges for me. She's not your stereotypical antagonist — she's intelligent, composed, and layered with complexity. What excites me is how she constantly keeps the audience guessing. I genuinely believe my years as a teacher have helped in roles like this — observing students, understanding their emotions. I'm excited for what lies ahead and can't wait to see how viewers respond as the story progresses. ' From teaching lessons to navigating dramatic plot twists, Mandeep Kaur's journey from education to entertainment is nothing short of inspiring, showcasing how powerful performances can arise from the most unexpected beginnings. As the suspense builds, will Megha succeed in her mission to destroy the Chauhan family from within, or will the truth catch up to her?

Kunwar Vikram Soni trains for three hours intensively for Vasudha's knife combat sequence
Vasudha, known for its strong characters and emotionally charged storytelling, gears up for a dramatic twist this week. In an upcoming episode packed with emotion and adrenaline, Madhav (played by Kunwar Vikram Soni) makes a gripping return, stepping into a high-tension knife fight that tests his courage, instincts, and sense of duty. Unlike choreographed fight scenes often seen on television, this sequence is raw, intense, and deeply emotional. Every move Madhav makes—every block, every strike is driven by his need to protect Divya (Subhanshi Raghuwanshi), who has been kidnapped. To prepare for the physically demanding sequence, Kunwar Vikram underwent extensive training with the show's stunt team. He spent over three hours initially, and nearly five hours across two major set pieces—one involving knife-to-knife combat and another where Madhav faces off against an armed gang. The training focused on mastering knife-handling techniques, footwork, partner coordination, and keeping the movements realistic yet impactful. What made this sequence even more challenging was the need to perform stylised yet grounded knife tricks—something new for Kunwar Vikram. To elevate his performance, he drew inspiration from the recent action film Kill, particularly Lakshya's portrayal of Amrit and Raghav Juyal's Fani—both of whom brought a raw and unpredictable charged energy to their fight scenes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Speaking about the experience, Kunwar Vikram Soni said, 'This wasn't a typical action scene—it had to feel real. Madhav is not a trained fighter, but he's the kind of person who will step up when it matters most. That meant every movement had to look improvised, instinctive, and emotionally charged. We worked a lot on blade control, partner coordination, and staying in the moment. I drew inspiration from Hrithik Roshan's calm precision in Vikram Vedha, but also from the film Kill—particularly Lakshya's portrayal of Amrit and Raghav Juyal's Fani. The way they handled the knife—fast, unpredictable, yet emotionally anchored—really stayed with me.' He added, 'We trained for three hours before the main take and almost five hours across two key sequences, repeating drills with real knives, adjusting blocking and camera angles, and slowly building up intensity. The director was completely invested—guiding us with clarity, fine-tuning every action, and making sure the emotion behind each move felt authentic. While Madhav is obviously not as morally complex as those characters, I tried to channel the same quiet intensity and desperation—the energy that comes from someone fighting with heart, not skill. Nothing in the fight could feel staged—it had to come from instinct, from adrenaline, from heart.' Madhav steps in to help Divya—but will he be able to save her?
