Pooja Katurde Stays Fit to Perfectly Portray Police Officer in Pushpa Impossible
“I keep it simple with regular workouts, staying active, and clean eating to do justice to my role as a police officer in the show” says Pooja Katurde of Sony SAB’s Pushpa Impossible
Sony SAB’s Pushpa Impossible is winning hearts with its inspiring storytelling and relatable characters. The show beautifully captures the everyday triumphs and challenges of its lead protagonist, Pushpa (Karuna Pandey), making it one of television’s most loved family entertainers. As Pushpa Impossible enters one of its most intense weeks yet, Pooja Katurde’s portrayal of the sharp, no-nonsense police officer and Pushpa’s daughter in law, stands out with striking authenticity.

Pooja Katurde says staying fit is not just about looking the part, but about truly feeling like her character. With intense investigation sequences, physical fitness helps her stay alert and maintain physical stamina and discipline. The actor believes that fitness is essential to her preparation to convincingly portray a uniformed officer and to bring authenticity to her character. For Pooja, fitness has become an important part of understanding her character’s strength and discipline.
Speaking about the experience, Pooja Katurde shares,
“Wearing the uniform itself puts you in a very different mindset. It automatically demands strength, confidence, and alertness. I knew that to play a police officer, I must stay fit and maintain a certain physique because the role demands it. What the audience sees on screen is a flawless and confident presence, but behind the scenes, I put in immense effort to maintain that for the role. I’m not someone who believes in extreme workouts so I keep it simple with regular workouts, staying active, and clean eating to do justice to my role as a police officer in the show. When your body feels strong, it reflects on screen without you trying too hard.”
