Chandni Bhagwanani said, "It was really sad. We are giving him space. I am sure he must be getting a lot of calls, we are getting so many calls, imagine the amount of calls he might be getting.

Chandni Bhagwanani on her bond with Sudhanshu Pandey
Chandni said, "He is like a father figure. He was so welcoming to me on the sets of Anupamaa. As you know, I replaced Muskan Bamne in the show. She had been playing Vanraj's daughter for more than three years and all of a sudden somebody else came in and I was very nervous about the same but Sudhanshu Sir was so warm and welcoming, which also helped me a lot on the sets."
She added, "He was one of the reasons why I was so happy to be on the sets. I more than love him. I've learned so much from him; he is so professional, It was a great experience working with him. But as they say, every great thing comes to an end and thus, I feel, he had to leave and we don't even know why and what happened."

It's very shocking also because Vanraj is a villain and a villain getting so much love is brilliant. The audiences are also disappointed; I am getting so many comments and DMs regarding the same. They're like, why did sir leave? Oh my god sir is leaving, and everything about Vanraj's exit. It's crazy! I mean, I dont think mujhe kabhi bhi itna messages kisi bhi reason se aaye honge, jitne abb aaye hai. Its really crazy. (I have never received so many messages for any reasons so far.)"

We used to hang out together, chill, and have meals together on the sets and if we had breaks in between shoots, Sir used to sing and we would have wonderful conversations. Its really sad that he is not a part of the show anymore. We've had some great memories on the sets."
