Anupam: Rupali Ganguly starrer ‘Anupama’ is the most popular show of TV. This serial keeps the fans glued to the screen with its twists and turns. While the show ‘Anupama’ is ruling the TRP charts, many actors have also left the serial in the last few years. Nidhi Shah had announced to leave the show this month. Earlier, Sudhanshu Pandey had said goodbye to the show. Now, in the recent podcast of Bakhtyar Irani and Ali Asgar, Anupama’s former actors Paras Kalnawat, Nidhi Shah and Sudhanshu Pandey revealed the real reason why they left the show. He was also asked whether Rupali Ganguly was the reason for his exit?
Why did Sudhanshu Pandey leave ‘Anupama’ show?
Talking about his exit from ‘Anupamaa’, Sudhanshu Pandey, who played the role of Vanraj Shah in the show, said, “Anupamaa show came when Covid had hit, since then till now, the show has become a clout . It created history, but there is a time for everything, and it was difficult for me to show it effortlessly. I felt that there would come a time when my character would start getting repeated again and again and would start boring the audience. I was afraid of it.”
Sudhanshu had to take four to five pain killers while shooting.
Nidhi Shah said that Sudhanshu had to face many challenges during the shooting. She said, “The person watching the scene shows how easily he is doing it. But the way we did the scene, we used to cry. I felt like crying. Behind the scenes he did, his mental health, his situation, his body pain, his health were on a toss.
Nidhi further said that Sudhanshu could not even stand properly and there came a time when he became so ill that he had to rest while others kept waiting. The actress revealed that he used to take five to six pain killers a day and he had 15 pages of scenes to do alone. She said that it was very intense and Sudhanshu used to perform with a lot of dedication.
Did he leave the show because of Rupali Ganguly?
Nidhi further explained what became the trigger point. She said that there were similar scenes in the show and she was tired of the fights in the show. When asked “Who was it?” All three stars laughed regarding the trigger point. Sudhanshu said, “There was someone on the set.” Asked if lead actress Rupali Ganguly was ‘not suitable to work with’, Nidhi said, “No, not so. She’s a very good actress,” prompting Sudhanshu and Paras to laugh.
Nidhi further said, I am not politically correct, we were 10 artistes, 2-3 of them created problems. After this Paras said that his scenes have been cut. On this Nidhi said, “My scenes were also cut and there were problems regarding my clothes and hair. This happened to me many times because I was given better clothes.”
What did Paras Kalnawat say on leaving the show?
Meanwhile, Paras, who exited the show two years ago, said that he was the first star to leave and it all happened suddenly. He said, “I didn’t know whether I was quitting or being fired. I wanted to quit, but they don’t have a policy that you can quit. They can only fire you, that’s how.” They get satisfaction in doing it.
There is no exit clause, if you want to quit the terms get spoiled. I wanted my track to go ahead, but someone ended it suddenly. I know who he was. But since it was the number one show, the channel never interfered, if anyone said he had a problem shooting with me, no one would question him. Everyone knows who was the problem,”
On this Sudhanshu said that every action in life happens due to a reason, but if that reason is given importance then they will get trapped in it.
