Shagun Pandey Gets Real: The Discipline, Sacrifice & Soul Behind Playing Ved

If you’ve been watching Zee TV’ Saru you already know how beautifully the love story of Saru and Ved unfolds. But what you may not know is the real story behind Ved Birla — the man who brings him to life, Shagun Pandey.

And trust me, his journey is just as intense, layered, and inspiring as the character he plays.

“Acting Isn’t My Profession — It’s My Devotion”

Shagun Pandey has become a household name, but his success didn’t come from shortcuts or privilege.
It came from discipline.

Talking about what it truly takes to become Ved every single day, Shagun shared:

“People think TV actors simply show up and perform, but playing Ved has reshaped my entire lifestyle. After a 12-hour shoot, I still push myself to train for 2 hours. That’s the commitment this craft deserves.”

This isn’t glamour.
This is grit.

Ved’s Calm, Mature Aura Didn’t Come Easy

Ved Birla isn’t an easy character — he’s composed, emotionally layered, and carries silent battles within.

Shagun admits he had to unlearn a lot of his own habits to step into Ved’s world:

“His silence, his maturity, his inner battles… I had to step into his skin completely. Playing Ved has made me more patient, more grounded, and far more aware of my own emotions.”

This is why his performance feels so real — he’s not just acting Ved…
He’s living him.

It’s Not Luck — It’s Discipline

People often assume actors are “lucky,” but Shagun explained the truth beautifully:

“I don’t rely on Plan B. Discipline is my alarm clock. People see the success, but not the hours, the sacrifice, the doubts. And I’m okay with that — because this is my devotion.”
