Sudhanshu Pandey, who rose to prominence as Vanraj Shah in the famous TV serial Anupamaa, has apologized to his fans for his unexpected departure from the daily drama. Anupamaa has been the most popular Hindi television program since its inception in 2020. On Wednesday evening, the actor announced his departure from Anupamaa via Instagram and a live webcast.
”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. Recently, several reports claimed that Rupali Ganguly, who plays the titular role on the show and Gaurav Khanna, who plays Anuj Kapadia, are quitting the show.
”I want to tell all of you with a heavy heart that I am now not a part of Anupamaa 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.
Fans’ reactions
After Sudhanshu’s video went viral on the platform, his fans chimed in the comment section. One user wrote, ”All the best for new project, but your character is the jaan of the show.. Vanraj Shah Is Back… we miss you so much sir.” ”We miss you sooo much all the best for your future. Aur raahi show ki baat aaj se dekhna band bss,” wrote another. A third user commented, ”Dear brother. Vanraj was beautifully played by you. Ure a phenomenal actor. Played such a layered character it was well emoted and amazingly portrayed by you much love bhai .. see u soon.”
