Pooja Singh, captivating audiences under her stage name Sanvikaa, has subtly yet powerfully carved out a special place in the hearts of viewers as Rinki in Prime Video’s popular series, Panchayat. With the show continuing its trending streak, News18 Showsha recently had an exclusive chat with the actor. She candidly discussed her connections with co-stars Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta and Raghubir Yadav, how her life has transformed since Panchayat, and her aspirations in cinema.
Fans have wholeheartedly embraced the innocent love story and charming chemistry between Sanvikaa’s Rinki and Jitendra Kumar’s Sachiv ji. Describing her on-screen rapport with Jitendra, Sanvikaa revealed, “I think it’s a very unsaid chemistry between us. It’s give and take – we don’t talk much, just the basics. But we understand each other while performing.” She further added, “We don’t rehearse too much either, just align before the take. Jeetu is a very supportive co-actor. He gave me the space to feel comfortable, never made me feel like a newcomer. That calmness between us translates on screen.”
When questioned about her professional relationship with veteran actor Neena Gupta, who portrays her mother in the series, Sanvikaa offered a warm smile. She disclosed that the seasoned actress is just as vibrant off-camera as her lively social media presence suggests. “Yeah, she’s like that – just like her social media presence! She enjoys acting, dressing up on sets. She’s a very joyful person, but at the same time, she’s quite strict. So, everyone is careful when she’s around. But she always speaks up when there’s a problem, and people respect her for that.” Sanvikaa also shared, “My chemistry with her has grown with each season. I’ve said this before – she’s a little protective of me. I’ve seen instances where someone’s being rough or pushing me around, and she’d take a stand for me. That’s her way of showing love.” Reflecting on her experience working with Panchayat’s beloved Pradhan ji, Raghubir Yadav, Sanvikaa expressed, “He’s one of the most joyful people I’ve met. Even today, if you meet him, he’ll make you feel like he’s known you for years. He’s full of warmth.”
