Ashish Vidyarthi On Apoorva Mukhija's Comments on Him: "Part Of The Experience..."

The reality show 'The Traitors' has been making headlines for its controversial fights. And things took a nasty turn when Sudhanshu Pandey criticized Apoorva Mukhija, a contestant on the show, for allegedly using disrespectful language towards fellow contestant and veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi. The issue has sparked a heated debate online.

Ashish Vidyarthi Reacts To Apoorva Mukhija's Controversy:

Now, in an interview with News9Live, Ashish Vidyarthi has responded to the controversy. "For me, that was just a reflection of real life. In reality, you meet all kinds of people, some are wonderful, some not so much. It's part of the experience."

He added that what truly matters is whether you would want to spend time with that person again. He also downplayed the importance of ‘edginess,' suggesting that some people use provocative language or behavior solely to stand out.

“And they do stand out. It seems to me they feel that way about themselves, too. People say things like, ‘You've become rough or edgy,' but maybe that's part of their identity now. So be it," he continued.

"If Everyone Were Nice..."

The actor, known for his iconic villainous roles, noted that a bit of drama is essential to make a story engaging. He advised against taking things personally, saying, “If everyone were nice, where's the drama? It's the conflicts that make a story worth telling. Otherwise, we'd just be exchanging pleasantries and not creating anything memorable."

About the Controversy:

Sudhanshu Pandey expressed his disapproval during an Instagram Live, criticizing Apoorva Mukhija's casual remark about Ashish Vidyarthi. He questioned whether this behavior was representative of Gen Z's idea of “cool" and strongly condemned the use of disrespectful language, especially towards elders. Sudhanshu stated, “Is this what we consider cool? I think it's utter nonsense and a reflection of a deeper issue in our society."

He went on to add, “Even I have kids, and even they are Gen-Z, and they are extremely respectful to other people. So I am sorry, I think there are a lot of problems."

He revealed that hurtful comments were made about him behind his back, which he only discovered after watching the show. "It really breaks my heart," he said.
