Role explores themes of redemption and personal transformation

In this compelling new chapter, the story takes a dramatic twist with the entry of Professor Rajvir Shastri — a once-celebrated legal prodigy turned bitter and cynical academic. Renowned for his brilliant courtroom arguments and magnetic charm, Rajvir's promising career was destroyed by a scandal that not only tarnished his professional reputation but also fractured his personal life, leaving his marriage and bond with his daughter in ruins.

Haunted by betrayal and regret, he masks his anguish behind a veneer of anger and alcohol, having lost faith in both the legal system and the people around him. However, everything begins to shift when Pushpa enters his life. As the embodiment of unshakable optimism and hope, Pushpa’s boundless energy challenges Rajvir’s jaded perspective, paving the way for a powerful and emotionally charged dynamic between these two seemingly incompatible souls.

Speaking about his role, Gaurav shared, “When I first read the script, what drew me to Rajvir was his complexity. He's brilliant yet broken, sharp yet cynical, and despite everything, still deeply human. His journey, though painful, feels incredibly real — we all carry scars, some visible, others buried. As an actor, I live for roles that challenge me and demand that I peel off layers and explore human emotion. Rajvir Shastri is all that and more. What makes this experience even more rewarding is working with Karuna Pandey. She brings such natural depth, and honesty to Pushpa — her energy lifts every scene. I’m grateful to the makers for trusting me with such a powerful role and can’t wait for the audience to witness this new chapter — it’s going to be an emotional ride.”

Gaurav will be returning to television after five years with "Pushpa Impossible" which airs from Monday to Saturday at 9 PM only on Sony SAB.

So excited to see Gaurav back on TV! He was brilliant in Uttaran. This professor role sounds perfect for him - intense yet emotional. Indian TV needs more complex characters like Rajvir instead of the usual saas-bahu dramas. Will definitely watch! 🤩

Interesting concept but I hope they don't make it too preachy. The description sounds like Pushpa will "fix" the professor with her optimism - hope they show realistic character development rather than instant transformation. Still, good to see Sony SAB trying something different.

As a law student, I'm curious how they'll portray the courtroom scenes. Most Indian shows get legal procedures all wrong. But Gaurav's dedication to his roles gives me hope! Also 9PM slot is perfect - can watch after dinner with family 😊

Finally some good content on Indian television! The last 5 years we've only seen regressive shows. This seems like a fresh take - flawed male lead, strong female character, and real emotions. Hope the execution matches the promise. All the best to the team!

My mother watches Pushpa Impossible religiously. She'll be so happy to see a new twist in the story! The show already teaches good values without being boring. Adding Gaurav Chopra is a masterstroke - he brings such intensity to his roles. Time to set a reminder for 9PM!
