You’ve spent over two decades shaping public narratives. What has been the most defining moment of your career so far?

I’ve always focused on upgrading my skills, and many moments have contributed to my journey. But the most defining moment was when Anuj Saxena entrusted me with his personal PR work — that’s when my career in public relations truly began. Another major milestone was working with producer Rajan Shahi on Sapna Babul Ka… Bidaai, followed by Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Then came iconic shows like Mahadev, Mahabharat, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!, and Anupamaa. Each project has been a meaningful chapter in my professional evolution. Handling two films Aloo Chaat (Aftab Shivdasani and Aamna Shariff) and Chase (Anuj Saxena and Udita Goswami) and handling Red Chillies TV Shows Ghar Ki Baat Hai (Juhi Babbar’s TV debut) and Simi Garewal’s India’s Most Desirable was a big high professionally.

Actor Hrishikesh Pandey says that he loves playing Holi. He adds that he loves to use both colours and water.

“I love white absolutely, for its peace and harmony but when it comes to Holi colours, yes, of course, I love those vibrant shades as well. All the colours mixed together, the dry colours. I love them, the feel of them. But I won’t deny that I also enjoy playing with water during Holi, as long as it’s clean and organic, with no paints and all that. We’ve gone through all that in our childhood, in different places, where people used to apply paints and all kinds of harmful substances on each other’s faces. I don’t like that rough style of Holi at all. I prefer a more decent and classy celebration with good-quality colours and clean, normal water,” he says.

Water balloons are not preferred these days.

Mumbai, Dec 17: Adulation of fans has never put pressure on Hrishikesh Pandey, as the seasoned TV actor feels people are more crazy about the character rather than the actor.

"In TV, people like your character and appreciate you. So all this should not affect me as a person. The fans are basically only crazy about the character. The problem arises when you don't realise that," he told Ians.

Pandey has been a part of shows like "Kohi Apna Sa", "Saakshi" and is currently seen in "C.I.D". The actor calls himself lucky to be associated with the show.
