In Saru, Zee TV’s inspiring new show about a young village girl chasing her dreams, Shagun Pandey is grabbing attention for more than just his screen presence. Playing Ved, a calm and composed English professor, Shagun steps into a role unlike anything he’s done before — and he’s taking it seriously.
Known for his energetic characters, Shagun dials it down to portray a grounded, thoughtful teacher. But he didn’t stop at just learning his lines — the actor actually created his own mini-lectures for classroom scenes. From grammar basics to how to simplify concepts for students, Shagun crafted his delivery to feel real, relatable, and rooted.
“As soon as I heard Ved is a professor, I knew I had to bring authenticity to the role,” says Shagun. “It wasn’t about acting like a teacher, it was about being one — on screen.”
Inspired by his own teachers and determined to make Ved feel genuine, Shagun’s performance adds a fresh layer of realism to Saru’s narrative of empowerment through education.
Catch Saru every evening at 7:30 PM on Zee TV and see Shagun Pandey like never before — not just as a performer, but as a professor with a purpose.
