Sudhir Pandey has reacted to the viral video showing him walking off stage during the trailer launch of Ginny Weds Sunny 2. His response came after many said that the veteran actor had left the stage after being ignored by the team. This intensified after several social media users began tagging actor Avinash Tiwary and asking him to clarify what had happened. Tiwary then tagged Pandey and requested him to explain the situation in his own words.
Viral Video From Ginny Weds Sunny 2 Event
Before Pandey’s clarification, the video that started it all showed the actor standing on stage during the trailer launch event as Avinash Tiwary and other cast members interacted with reporters. The video then progressed to show Pandey quietly stepping away from the stage, leading many viewers to assume that he had been overlooked during the event.
One social media user even questioned Tiwary, writing, “Bro why didn’t you stop him when he left the stage? I mean I’m your fan but didn’t expect this from you though.” In response, Tiwary tagged Pandey and wrote, “Kaisi baat kar di aapne Sudhir Pandey sir, aap hi bataiye.”

Pandey later dismissed the rumours and clarified that there was no disrespect involved. He explained that he had attended the event in between another shoot and had to leave quickly to return to work.
“It was nothing, Avinash. I had come to attend the trailer launch of our film in the middle of my shoot, so I had to rush back,” the actor said.
‘Nothing Like Being Disrespected’
Pandey, in an interview with HT City, clarified that he had joined the team on stage after the announcement and had been seated in the front row before that. According to him, the video going viral online does not show the full context of the event.
“There was nothing like being disrespected. I wanted to be there for the trailer launch and went on stage with everyone. Whoever recorded the video may not have noticed that I was sitting in the front row earlier,” he said.

Pandey added that he was under pressure because he had stepped away from another project’s shoot to attend the launch and had informed the film’s production team beforehand that he might have to leave quickly.
“The reason you see me walking off is because I had to return to my other shoot. I was getting messages and needed to rush back,” he said.
