Gaurav Khanna reflects on Anuj Kapadia’s exit from Anupamaa and his future on show; Read on

Gaurav Khanna, who played Anuj Kapadia in Anupamaa, recently opened up about his future on the show after a two-month absence. Despite speculation surrounding his return, Gaurav clarified that his character's story had reached a natural conclusion. "For now, Anuj’s chapter is closed," he stated.

The actor shared that Anuj was initially meant to be a guest role for just three months but went on to become a significant part of the show for over three years. Gaurav expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love his character received, calling it a rare and cherished experience.

Gaurav’s departure followed a 15-year time leap in Anupamaa in October, which saw the exit of several characters. However, Gaurav emphasized that his break isn't permanent, likening his exit to a "comma" rather than a "full stop." He remains open to rejoining if the storyline demands it.

Regarding rumors of a rift with co-star Rupali Ganguly, Gaurav kept things professional. He emphasized that he doesn’t respond to baseless rumors, focusing instead on the work created with his colleagues. "The work we’ve done together is what matters," Gaurav said, maintaining a positive outlook.
