Sudhanshu Pandey, who has been a key part of the television show Anupamaa as Vanraj Shah, recently made the unexpected decision to leave the series. His departure has left fans in shock, as he has been a prominent figure in the show since it first aired. While everything seemed fine during a recent fun segment with his co-stars Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna, his sudden exit has led to widespread speculation.
After Sudhanshu Pandey announced his decision to step away from the show, observant fans noticed that he had unfollowed Rupali Ganguly and the producer, Rajan Shahi, on social media. This has fuelled rumours in the entertainment news world that there might have been some conflict between him and Rupali, leading to his exit. There were also reports that he was all set to join Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 18, and hence he quit Anupamaa.
In a recent interview, Sudhanshu Pandey addressed the rumours about having a fight or tiff with his co-star Rupali Ganguly. They questioned the origins of such gossip and expressed confusion over why people would think there was an issue between him and Rupali. Pandey called these rumours baseless and said indulging in them is a waste of time. In Hindi, the actor told Indian Express, "Actually, yeh sab cheezein hoti hai, khaali dimaag ke wajeh se hoti hai." The actor says that there's absolutely no point in giving attention to such reports.
Meanwhile, it was on his Instagram page that Sudhandshu Pandey announced that he has quit Anupamaa. The actor thanked all his fans and admirers for the love and support they gave him and his character Vanraj for four years. The actor stated that even though people disliked his character, the negative reactions gave him the confidence that he was playing the part effectively. Sudhanshu mentioned he has been missing from the show since the Raksha Bandhan episode and also requested that he show the same love and support for him in the future.
Further, in an interview, the actor denied being a part of Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 18. Sudhanshu said that he is not someone who is made for a show like this. He would be more interested in hosting it rather than be a part of it.
