By Gossips Tv : Actor Gaurav Khanna, who portrayed the beloved character Anuj Kapadia in Star Plus’ hit show Anupama, has officially confirmed his exit. After months of speculation, Khanna revealed that his departure was due to storyline developments following the recent 15-year leap in the show.
Khanna shared that the decision to leave was mutual, as the makers, including producer Rajan Shahi, felt it was time for the character to step back. Quoting to Etimes he said “We discussed a grand re-entry for Anuj, but the story had to progress without him. Waiting longer didn’t make sense. Rajan Sir suggested I explore bigger opportunities,”
The leap introduced new leads Shivam Khajuria and Alisha Parveen, while Rupali Ganguly continues to play Anupama. Alongside Khanna, key actors like Sudhanshu Pandey, Madalsa Sharma, and Nidhi Shah also exited before the leap.
Reflecting on his journey, Khanna expressed gratitude, noting that Anuj was initially meant to be a three-month cameo but extended to three years. “If future storylines require Anuj, I would love to return, schedule permitting,” he added.
For now, fans must bid farewell to Anuj Kapadia, though the door remains open for potential reappearances, leaving viewers hopeful for a future comeback.
