Sudhanshu Pandey aka Vanraj Shah bids farewell to Anupamaa: 'meri audience mujhse naraz na ho...'

Sudhanshu Pandey, famously known for his portrayal of Vanraj Shah in the popular TV show 'Anupamaa,' has announced his departure from the show.
The actor's role as the antagonist made him a household name, contributing to the show's immense success. Since its premiere in 2020, 'Anupamaa' has consistently topped the TRP charts, with Sudhanshu, Rupali Ganguly, and Gaurav Khanna emerging as fan favorites.

Rumors had recently circulated that both Rupali and Gaurav were planning to leave the show. However, it was Sudhanshu who confirmed his exit, much to the surprise of his fans. In an emotional Instagram live session on Wednesday evening, Sudhanshu revealed his decision to leave the show.

During the live session, he shared, "Mai 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 narazgi bhi ek tarike se pyar hi raha hai. Agar aap naraz na hote mere character dekh kar to mujhe lagta mai sahi tarike se nibha nahi pa raha hoon."
He continued, "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."
