'Anuj Kapadia' will no longer be seen in Anupamaa
Gaurav Khanna also left 'Anupama'
Speaking to ETimes, Gaurav said, “People have been constantly asking me about my return in Anupama. Rajan sir (producer Rajan Shahi) had discussed the possibility of a grand re-entry for the character, and we waited for two months for it to materialise. However, the story had to move forward, and there was no point in waiting anymore. He also felt that it was time for me to explore something bigger. So, for now, Anuj's chapter is closed, but I see it as a comma, not a full stop. If the story demands it and my schedule allows, I would be happy to return."
He further added that his role was initially supposed to be a guest appearance. Gaurav said, "Anuj was originally planned as a three-month cameo in the show, but it became a defining part of my career that lasted three years. This kind of love is rare, and I cannot express my gratitude to my fans in words for it."
Did Gaurav have a rift with rupali Ganguly?
When asked about the rumours of a rift with the show's lead actress rupali Ganguly, Gaurav Khanna said, "I don't indulge in revengeful interviews or react to rumours. The work we have created together matters. I have always focused on my craft and what happens beyond 'action' and 'cut' is secondary."
