Sudhanshu Pandey's first house purchased is connected to Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan. Here's how it is related.
Sudhanshu Pandey is best known for his role as 'Vanraj Shah' in Rupali Ganguly's hit serial, Anupamaa. He has been one of the most famous faces in the TV world. The actor keeps giving glimpses of his house on his Instagram feed, which comprises a dining area, an office cum study room and also has exquisite interiors. The actor is blessed to have his own home in Mumbai; however, do you know that it has a 'Pataudi' connection?
Sudhanshu Pandey is grateful to the almighty for having a home in Mumbai. However, during an interview with Pinkvilla, he remembered his days of struggle. He was unable to even purchase a house when he had started his career, as the money he used to get was not enough. Sudhanshu then thought of buying a house after having a child. He liked the home where Saif Ali Khan used to stay and said:
"2005 mein finally humne socha ki humein ghar khareedna chahiye kyunki we had a family and he was already born. Toh mujhe ghar dikhaya kisi ne, jahan main rehta tha uske bilkul baaju wali building mein hi tha. Woh ghar belong karta tha Saif Ali Khan ko. Toh woh unki property thi aur jab dekhne gaye toh mujhe laga ki bahut mehengi hogi."
Sudhanshu had then contacted his CA and asked him if he could ensure that it could fit his budget to buy the property. After the discussion, Sudhanshu had worked hard and had done many movies and purchased the home. He added:
"At the age of 31, I bought my first house. Wahan se yeh silsila shuru hua (From there, it all started). That was a very large lovely 3 bedroom house jo humne bahut khoobsurati se banaya tha."
The actor is happily married to Mona Pandey whom he had first time for a photoshoot for an international fashion show. His wife's agency handled it. His friend, Puneet Kalia, who resides in Canada as a Free Press Journal report, played the cupid for Mona and Sudhanshu's love story. During an interview with the same publication, he recollected his first memory of meeting Mona. In the words of Sudhanshu:
"My first memory of meeting her was when I had called the agency to ask for my cheque. Mona received the call and said we have already paid you. And I did not believe it because I didn’t remember that I had already spent the money. So she said, ‘Why don’t you come to the agency, I’ll show you your signed receipt.’ We started with an argument, but I liked her from the moment I saw her."
Sudhanshu and Mona were attracted to one another, but he had fallen for her big eyes. He then asked for her number, got in touch with her. She was in South Delhi and the actor was in Central Delhi when they were in the talking phase. Mobile phones weren’t around yet, so they spoke on the landline.
