'Anupamaa' is TV's No. 1 show. Makers have leaped many times in this serial. In October too, there was a 15-year time leap in Anupama. Due to this, many characters were out of the show. There is still suspense about Gaurav Khanna, who plays Anuj Kapadia in the show. Actually, he is away from the set for two months. In such a situation, fans are speculating that Gaurav has also left the show. At the same time, the actor finally broke the silence on this and told the truth.

Gaurav Khanna also left 'Anupamaa'

Speaking to ETimes, Gaurav said, "People have been constantly asking me about my return to Anupama, Rajan sir (producer Rajan Shahi) had discussed the possibility of a grand re-entry for the character, and we waited for two months for it to materialise. However, the story had to move on, and there was no point in waiting. He also felt that now the time has come for me to explore something bigger. So, for now, Anuj's chapter is closed, but I see it as a coma, not a full stop. If the story demands and my schedule allows, I will be happy to return."

He further said that his role was to start with a guest role. "Anuj was originally planned as a three-month cameo on the show, but it became a pivotal part of my career that lasted three years. This kind of love is rare, and I can't express my gratitude in words to my fans for it. "

Did Gaurav have a rift with Rupali Ganguly?

When asked about the rumors of rift with the show's lead actress Rupali Ganguly, Gaurav Khanna said, "I do not attend the revenge interviews or react to the rumors. The work we have created together matters. I always focused on my craft and what goes beyond action and cut is secondary."

Gaurav Khanna has worked in many serials

Gaurav received a lot of appreciation for his role of Anuj Kapadia in the famous show Anupamaa starring Rupali Ganguly and Sudhanshu Pandey. The on-screen pairing of Gaurav and Rupali as Anuj and Anupama was well received by the fans. Apart from Anupama, the actor has also appeared in shows like CID, Kumkum: Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan, Meri Doli Tere Angana, Jeevan Saathi, Sasural Simar Ka, Tere Bin and Ganga.
