Gaurav Khanna opens up about his exit from Anupamaa, expressing gratitude for his journey. He remains open to returning if the storyline demands, emphasizing professionalism and positivity.

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.
