The Unspoken Chemistry with Jitendra Kumar

Pooja Singh, known professionally as Sanvikaa, shared insights into her rapport with Jitendra Kumar in an interview with News18. She described their connection as an "unsaid chemistry," emphasizing the mutual understanding they share. "It's give and take – we don’t talk much, just the basics. But we understand each other while performing," Sanvikaa explained.

She highlighted their minimal rehearsal approach, which contributes to the authenticity and freshness of their on-screen interactions. "We don’t rehearse too much either, just align before the take. Jeetu is a very supportive co-actor. He gave me the space to feel comfortable, never made me feel like a newcomer. That calmness between us translates on screen.”

Neena Gupta: A Blend of Joy and Protection

Sanvikaa also spoke fondly of working alongside the acclaimed Neena Gupta, who portrays her mother in "Panchayat." She described Gupta's personality as vibrant and joyful, akin to her social media persona. "She enjoys acting, dressing up on sets," Sanvikaa noted.

However, she also revealed a stricter side to Gupta. "She’s a very joyful person, but at the same time, she’s quite strict. So, everyone is careful when she’s around. But she always speaks up when there’s a problem, and people respect her for that."

Sanvikaa emphasized the strengthening bond between them with each season. "My chemistry with her has grown with each season. I’ve said this before – she’s a little protective of me. I’ve seen instances where someone’s being rough or pushing me around, and she’d take a stand for me. That’s her way of showing love.”

Raghubir Yadav: An Abundance of Warmth

Raghubir Yadav, who embodies the affable Pradhan ji, holds a special place in Sanvikaa's "Panchayat" experience. She lauded his friendly and affectionate nature, describing him as one of the most genuinely joyful individuals she has encountered. Sanvikaa shared that Yadav possesses the remarkable ability to make anyone feel instantly comfortable and known, radiating warmth and genuine connection.
