Karuna Pandey takes on a thrilling double role as she portrays both Pushpa and her fiery doppelg'nger, Basanti Mishra. In a completely different avatar, Basanti is a no-nonsense tea seller from Kanpur, who arrives at Bapodara Chawl under Pushpa's business rival Viren's (Hemant Kher) orders with a mysterious agenda. Unlike Pushpa's loving and optimistic nature, Basanti is a hardened woman with a sharp tongue and little patience for nonsense, shaped by her tough life and secretive past.
As Pushpa continues her journey, she remains unaware of Basanti's arrival in Bapodara Chawl, following the car blast sequence where Pushpa, suffering from amnesia, finds herself in Kanpur. Meanwhile, Basanti, under Viren's orders, brings new challenges and unexpected drama to the chawl. Her tough demeanor and sharp tongue disrupt the dynamics of the Patel family and the world that Pushpa has carefully built. Their inevitable clash promises intense confrontations and surprising twists. The double-role storyline will highlight how Pushpa's warmth and resilience stand in stark contrast to Basanti's hardened exterior, leading to an engaging and exciting narrative.
Karuna Pandey, who will be essaying the character of Basanti, said, 'Taking on a double role has been an exhilarating challenge for me. While Pushpa embodies love, optimism, and resilience, Basanti is her complete contrast'tough, and unapologetically blunt. However, there's also a sense of mystery surrounding Basanti as she has her own fears and vulnerabilities hidden beneath her grumpy demeanor. This duality makes her incredibly relatable despite her rough edges. I'm eager for the audience to see how her intense personality and mysterious past create a captivating dynamic, especially when she interacts with Pushpa.'
