For the last few weeks, Anupamaa has been under the media spotlight as the show is gearing up for a generational leap.

Known for portraying Kinjal Shah, Nidhi took to social media to share her decision to leave the show after a tenure of four and a half years. She posted a heartfelt video montage featuring some of her memorable scenes from the show, expressing gratitude to the audience and the team.

Sharing the video with her fans on Instagram, Nidhi Shah jotted down an emotional note. Reflecting on her journey on Anupamaa, the young actress wrote, "With a Heavy Heart, I Say Goodbye to Kinju baby aka Kinjal. After four and a half unforgettable years, it’s time for me to bid farewell to my beloved character, Kinjal, and the phenomenal show, Anupamaa. This journey has been beyond anything I could have ever imagined. To be a part of a show that’s been number one on Indian television consecutively is a blessing I’ll cherish forever."

She mentioned being grateful to God and Anupamaa's producer, Rajan Shahi, for giving her the opportunity to play Kinjal. Nidhi also thanked her co-actors and the entire crew for their unwavering support and for making her journey so memorable.
