Shagun Pandey talks about taking inspiration from real-life cops for Mera BalamThanedaar

Shagun Pandey from Colors’ Mera Balam Thanedaar reveals that he had the opportunity to meet real-life cops. He keenly observed their body language, imbibing the nuances that would make his portrayal authentic in the show. The result is that he not only looks like a real-cop but also embodies the spirit of those who dedicate their lives to upholding the law. Shagun shares a personal ritual, answering his phone with a prideful Jai Hind, a small but meaningful practice that connects him to the character.

Shagun Pandey, portraying the role of Veer in Colors’ Mera Balam Thanedaar, shares, “I’m grateful to my fans for embracing me in the role of Veer Pratap Singh and showering love on this show. I think all the hard work that went into making my character look authentic paid off. A huge part of my prep was observing the lifestyle of real police officers. It was important for me to perfect the body language of men in khaki to play a cop. I got to witness the effort and sacrifices these heroes put into ensuring the safety of our daily lives.”
