FollowSudhanshu Pandey, who rose to prominence as Vanraj Shah in the famous TV serial Anupamaa, has apologised to his fans for his unexpected departure from the daily soap. Anupamaa has been the most popular Hindi television program since its inception in 2020. The actor took to his Instagram and did a live stream on Wednesday (Sept 28) evening announcing his exit from Anupamaa.
''Main pichle chaar saal se roj pahuch raha hun apke ghar ek daily soap ke jariye, ek kirdar play kar raha hu jiske liye mujhe bahut sara pyar or narazgi mili, but wo narazagi bhi ek tarike se pyar hi raha hai. Agar aap naraz na hote mere character dekh kar to mujhe lagta main sahi tarike se nibha nahi pa raha hoon,'' he said during his live video. Several rumours recently suggested that Rupali Ganguly, who portrays the program's title character, and Gaurav Khanna, who plays Anuj Kapadia, are leaving the show.

Raksha Bandhan episode se mai show ka hissa nahi hoon, par itne din beet gaye the or meri audience mujhse naraz na ho ki ye bina bataye kaise chala gaya toh mujhe laga ye meri zimmedari hai ki mai ye baat bataun aap sab ko. Par hame jeevan me aage badhna hi padta hai to I want you all to keep loving me always in my future works,'' he added.
