After playing the antagonist in Anupamaa, Sudhanshu Pandey became known by the name Vanraj Shah. Since its release in 2020, the show has topped the TRP ratings, making Gaurav Khanna, Sudhanshu, and Rupali Ganguly well-known figures.

The actor told his followers, during an emotional Instagram live on Wednesday night, that he was leaving the program. In the recording, he stated, “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.”

Sudhanshu added, “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.”

The reason for the actor’s departure remained a mystery, but producer Rajan Shahi recently assured us that Rupali and Gaurav are still very much a part of the show.

Conversely, Sudhanshu just dropped a single featuring Beisaba and declared the return of A Band of Boys alongside the release of their song, Gori Again. The actor, who put his music career on hold for a period to concentrate on acting, is making progress in it.
