Sudhir Pandey reacts to ‘walking out’ after being ‘ignored’ at Ginny Weds Sunny 2 trailer launch: ‘There was no such thing as disrespect’ | –

A short video clip from the latest trailer of Ginny Weds Sunny 2 has caused quite a stir on social media, with many viewers assuming that veteran actor Sudhir Pandey walked off the stage after an uncomfortable moment. The clip quickly led to speculation about a possible disagreement or disrespect from the film team.However, Pandey has now addressed the gossip, clarifying that the situation was far from what appeared online.To set the record straight, the actor denied all the rumors of any awkwardness at the event.“There was no such thing as disrespect. I was shooting the trailer with the team, and I wanted to be there. I went to the theater with everyone, and I was sitting in the front row before that. Whoever shot that video probably wouldn’t have noticed.”

“When it was announced, I went with everyone,” he told Hindustan Times.

“The reason you see me leaving…”

According to Pandey, the now-viral moment was taken out of context. He explained that his early departure was purely due to previous work commitments.“The problem is that I was very urgent, because the filming of another project was still going on. So, I came to attend the trailer launch in the middle of filming. In fact, I told the production house to Jenny…

I will come with a little urgency. “The reason I left was because I was going to another photo shoot, and I was getting messages,” he said.

“I have a great role in GWS 2”

Despite his busy schedule, Pandey said he made a conscious effort to attend the launch event, reiterating his commitment to the film.“I have a great role in GWS 2 which is a good film. That’s why I got permission from the other film team. I am grateful to them for allowing it.”

The viral clip takes on a life of its own

The actor admitted that he was not aware of the online speech at first and only found out about it later through reactions on social media.“I didn’t even know what happened, I saw it later on social media. The kind of reactions I got from the people involved. I suddenly feel like people have noticed my work and I’m very relevant to their memories.”

“It’s been 50 years”

The renewed interest has also brought focus back to Pandey’s long career, with memorable works in shows like Buniyaad and films like Tees Maar Khan and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha.Reflecting on his journey, he said: “There was no secret. I was very dedicated to my work. I came into this industry in 1976. It’s been 50 years.”Even today, his approach remains unchanged.“Even today in 2026, I continue to work with the same passion. I will not say that I did a lot of work, but whatever I did, I did it very honestly. It is recorded.”
