Mumbai: Actor Gaurav Khanna, during a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, opened up about his alleged fallout with ‘Anupamaa’ co-star Rupali Ganguly and said that he cannot ‘call her a friend.’
Gaurav, who played the character of Anuj Kapadia in the popular sitcom, said, “Main Rupali ko friend nahi bolunga (I won’t call her a friend). Rupali is a wonderful human being from whom I’ve learnt a lot.”
“A friend is someone you can call anytime and share things with—I’m not on those terms with anyone, not even Sudhanshu,” he added.
Revealing about the altercations between them on the sets of ‘Anupamaa’, he said, “Altercations hote the scenes ko leke (there used to be altercations about scenes), because everyone has their own interpretation. She’s the lead, the face of the show. If I insisted on doing scenes my way, that would be wrong—and I never did that.”
Meanwhile, while expressing his admiration for co-star Sudhanshu Pandey, the actor said, “He’s very talented. I used to tell him, ‘Don’t ever quit singing.’ I’m glad he’s coming out with more music now.”
Produced by Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi under Director’s Kut Productions, ‘Anupamaa’ has become one of the most popular daily soaps.
