The makers of Pushpa Impossible highly successful family drama, gear up for an emotional journey with the entry of Shanaya Mehta as well as her dad, billionaire venture capitalist Shantanu Mehta. Playing the pivotal roles are Muskan Bamne as Shanaya and Saptirishi Ghosh as the powerful Shantanu Mehta, whose privilege and power are set to collide with Pushpa’s world in a values-driven manner in a way that is unexpected. sharp, entitled and emotionally guarded young woman raised in immense luxury, shaped by the early loss of her mother and the emotional absence of her father, Shantanu Mehta, a self-made billionaire “shark” investor who replaced presence with privilege. Having grown up believing that money can solve everything, Shanaya moves through life insulated by influence until a grave hit-and-run incident challenges that certainty. Through this father-daughter dynamic, the show handles the track with sensitivity, exploring how wealth and power are put to the test when faced with accountability.
Speaking about stepping into the role of Shanaya, Muskan Bamne shared, “What really drew me in was that this is not just about an entitled girl entering Pushpa’s world.
The track becomes a turning point that questions privilege and accountability in a very real way. Shanaya is outwardly arrogant but internally lonely, and portraying someone who is suddenly forced to confront the weight of her actions has been both challenging and deeply fulfilling.”
Sharing his perspective on playing Shantanu, Saptirishi Ghosh, said, “Shantanu is a man who can close high-stakes deals without hesitation, but struggles to have an honest conversation with his daughter. That contradiction defines him. He believes he has protected her all his life, but when faced with a crisis, he realises that influence cannot fix everything. Exploring that conflict between power and helplessness has been incredibly layered as an actor.”
