The popular Indian television show Anupamaa, led by Rupali Ganguly, has been facing a decline in ratings since the departure of Sudhanshu Pandey from his role as Vanraj Shah. In recent weeks, rumors had circulated that the makers were considering bringing in Ronit Roy to take over the Vanraj Shah character.
However, Ronit Roy has now categorically denied these reports, clarifying that he will not be joining the show. The character of Vanraj Shah has been absent from Anupamaa since Sudhanshu Pandey's exit, which occurred sometime in 2024. The reasons behind Pandey's departure from the show have not been publicly disclosed.
Amidst the ratings challenges, it appears the makers of Anupamaa are now planning to intensify the drama on the show by bringing back the Vanraj Shah character. This move is likely an attempt to revive the show's viewership, which has seen a decline in recent times. The show, which once dominated the ratings, is currently struggling to maintain its popularity.
In the current storyline, Anupamaa, played by Rupali Ganguly, is shown navigating the challenges of restarting her life in the bustling city of Mumbai, utilizing her cooking and dancing skills. Viewers can expect to see a high point in the upcoming episodes, as Anupamaa comes face-to-face with the character of Rahi during a dance competition.
