In October 2018, Pandit filed case against actor Suraj Venjaramoodu by claiming that Suraj had made personal insults against him during a channel show of which Suraj was a judge. "Actor Suraj Venjaramoodu was the judge of a comedy programme in which I was insulted. Many fans have asked me to file a complaint against it. But, I didn't get time as I was busy with flood relief activities. I have decided to proceed with legal action against Suraj Venjaramoodu and the crew. Now, the court will decide the right and wrong. Receving state and national awards are great. But, the most important quality is to be a good human being"; Pandit wrote on facebook.
