Mumbai: Amid controversies surrounding her personal life, speculation is once again rife that ‘Anupama’ actress Rupali Ganguly will quit the popular sitcom in which she plays the titular role.
As per a report in Times Now, the makers of the show are planning to introduce a big leap and Rupali will be apparently exiting the show in the next three months.
“The makers introduced a big 15-year leap to introduce new lead characters like Shivam Khajuria and Adrija Roy. Once the makers develop a strong love angle between Prem and Rahi, Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) will exit the show,” said a source.
“Her exit can happen anytime in the next three months. Currently, the makers are focusing on a love triangle between Prem, Rahi, and Maahi. Hence, Rupali’s scenes have been reduced from the episode,” the source added.
However, contrary to the Times Now report, a source close to the production house told India Today Digital that Rupali is not quitting the show.
The source admitted that the show will surely introduce a leap and a fresh storyline, but Rupali’s character will remain in the show.
Recently, the makers of ‘Anupamaa’ replaced Alisha Parveen with Adrija Roy for reasons not known.
Meanwhile, expressing her deep connection with the show, Rupali shared an emotional message, ”Wow, people really have some overactive imagination. But thank you for talking about me and talking about the show. What can I say? Every person has a core, and my core, I believe, is gratitude. My husband and I both believe that whatever Rajan Ji has given me the recognition, the platform, the position -I will never be able to repay it in this lifetime. And Anupamaa is not just a show for me; it’s an emotion, it’s my home, my second home, all my fur babies are here, and the unit has become like a family. So, does anyone leave their family, their home? And God forbid, may it never happen in life. If Rajan Ji ever says that he doesn’t need me anymore, then I might fight with him, or argue, and say, ‘Please let me stay in Anupamaa.’ I opened the gate for this show, and I will remain part of this show till the end.”
Earlier, Rupali was in news after her stepdaughter Esha Verma alleged that the she was ‘controlling and psychotic’.
In an old 2020 post, Esha accused Rupali of having an extra-marital affair with her father Ashwin K. Verma, while he was still married to her mother. Esha called Rupali a ‘home breaker’ and alleged that she was the reason why her father divorced her mother.
After this old post resurfaced, Rupali slapped a defamation case against Esha.
