Several fans are still wondering about the fate of Anuj Kapadia, portrayed by Gaurav Khanna in Anupamaa, after the 15-year-leap, which was introduced in October. The actor has finally addressed his two-month absence from the set, saying this chapter of his career is over.

However, the actor doesn’t look at it as an end and is open to the possibility of coming back to this world.

Gaurav Khanna speaks out

In an interview with Etimes, Gaurav spoke about his absence from the show, and the future track.

“People have been constantly asking me about my return to Anupamaa. Rajan sir (producer Rajan Shahi) had discussed the possibility of a grand re-entry for the character, and we waited two months for it to materialise. However, the storyline had to progress, and waiting no longer made sense. He, too, felt it was time for me to explore something bigger. So, for now, Anuj’s chapter is closed, but I see it as a comma, not a full stop. If the story demands and my schedule allows, I’d be happy to return,” he said.

The actor revealed that his character was originally planned as a three-month cameo but went on to become part of the storyline for three years. He expressed his gratitude towards the fans.

There have been rumours about a rift between him and Rupali Ganguly, who stars in the titular role. Without directly confirming or denying the reports, Gaurav said, “I don’t engage in retaliatory interviews or respond to rumours. What matters is the work we’ve created together. I’ve always focused on my craft, and what happens beyond the ‘action’ and ‘cut’ is secondary."
