“Anupamaa” has long been one of the most beloved and top-rated television shows, garnering an enormous fan base. With Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna in leading roles, the show has consistently received overwhelming support. However, the recent departure of Sudhanshu Pandey, who portrayed the pivotal character Vanraj Shah, has left fans shocked.
According to a report from Times Now, Sudhanshu Pandey’s exit may be linked to tensions with co-star Rupali Ganguly. The source suggests there is ambiguity around whether Sudhanshu was removed from the show or chose to leave voluntarily. It is rumored that frequent on-set disagreements between Sudhanshu and Rupali might have played a role in his departure.
In recent weeks, there have been swirling rumors about the potential exits of Rupali Ganguly, Gaurav Khanna, and Aurra Bhatnagar from “Anupamaa.” However, during an interview, Aurra Bhatnagar dismissed these rumors, clarifying that neither she nor her parents had been informed about any upcoming changes in the show.
Sudhanshu Pandey addressed his departure publicly on August 28, going live on Instagram to break the news to his followers. Known for his portrayal of Vanraj Shah since the show’s inception, Sudhanshu expressed regret for the sudden nature of his decision.
During his live session, Sudhanshu mentioned that he has not been involved in the show since the Raksha Bandhan episode but chose not to disclose the specific reasons for his abrupt exit. His departure is expected to cause a significant shift in the storyline, leaving viewers wondering whether his character, Vanraj, will be recast or written out of the series altogether.
Produced by Rajan Shahi, “Anupamaa” features a talented ensemble cast including Rupali Ganguly, Gaurav Khanna, Madalsa Sharma, Nidhi Shah, and Nishi Saxena. The show, which premiered on July 13, 2020, has remained a top contender in television ratings for several years.
