In an exclusive interview with us, Madalsa stated, “This was a well-thought-out one. I had been in talks with the makers to give Kavya’s character an edge, as that had gone missing for a while due to multiple tracks going on, and the makers had been trying their best to work something out. Later, Rajan sir and I mutually agreed that I could now move on from Anupamaa and venture out for something new altogether. I even felt that I’d given four years of commitment to Anupamaa, and now it’s time to move on.”

Currently, she has not taken up any work and is busy spending quality time with her family.


Muskan Bamne

Muskan Bamne, who played the role of Pakhi in Anupamaa is currently inside the Bigg Boss 18 house. She took the decision to quit as the show was headed for a leap and Chandni Bhagwanani replaced her.

Talking to us, she said, "All my professional decisions are taken by my Chachu (Raj Bamne). We discussed the same, and both of us thought that it would be very soon in my career to play a mother. My family was well aware that whenever the show would require me to play a mother, I'd quit. So, my family was with me on the decision."

Currently, Muskan is seen in the ongoing season of Bigg Boss. The Salman Khan’s reality show premiered on October 6.


Aashish Mehrotraa

Aashish Mehrotraa played the role of Paritosh Shah aka Toshu, Anupama’s son on Anupamaa for several years. He left the show earlier this year which he announced on his social media handle. He posted a gratitude note thanking the show’s creators and the entire team.

He wrote, "It was a beautiful journey… a beautiful journey of almost 4 years as your “Toshu” in Anupamaa… The character being just the opposite of who I am as a person… has made it more challenging and fun to live with.. It has been a huge roller coaster ride. But whatttt a ride!!!"
