Rupali Ganguly recently reminded fans that the warmth seen on screen in Anupamaa very much exists off-screen too.

The actor took to her Instagram Stories to share a cheerful, unguarded moment with her on-screen son Sagar Parekh, posting a clip of the two dancing together at a club to Kaali Kaali Aankhen.

Relaxed and smiling, the pair appeared completely at ease, offering viewers a glimpse of their genuine bond away from the daily pressures of television sets and storylines.

For fans of the show, the moment carried a wave of nostalgia. Sagar Parekh stepped into the role of Samar in July 2022, taking over from Paras Kalnawat and quickly winning audiences over with his emotional depth and sincerity. However, in October 2023, his exit from Anupamaa was confirmed, with the storyline depicting Samar’s tragic death — a turning point that left many viewers heartbroken.

The departure, reportedly linked to falling TRP ratings, marked the end of an important chapter in the show.

What followed was something few fans expected. In October last year, Sagar Parekh returned to Anupamaa after nearly two and a half years, turning his comeback into a deeply emotional moment for both himself and the audience.

Sharing his feelings on Instagram, Sagar Parekh posted a series of photographs from the set, opening up about what it meant to revisit a character that had shaped his journey.

“Full circle moments hit different. After approximately two, two and a half years… stepping back into Samar’s shoes — even if just for a short while — felt like returning home. The emotions, the nostalgia, the energy… everything came rushing back the moment I walked onto the sets of Anupamaa,” he wrote.

He also reflected on recreating a photo with Rupali Ganguly, adding, “This picture holds something truly special. it’s an exact recreation of the last photo we took two years ago when I shot my final scene. And now, once again, this might just be the last picture of Samar and Anupamaa together maybe, maybe not. But it carries the same warmth, love, and magic that this bond has always had.”

He ended by thanking producer Rajan Shahi and the show’s fans, writing, “A heartfelt thank you to @rajan.shahi.543 for bringing Samar back, even if for a brief moment. Oh, it truly felt like coming back home! And of course, to all the fans who never stopped showering love on Samar and Anupamaa this one’s for you.”
