In conversation with us, Sudhanshu Pandey opened up on the reason for quitting Anupamaa and said, "Samay aa chuka tha aur muje yeh lag rha tha ki 4 saal se maine bohot kuch diya hai iss character ko. Mai jitne colors, shades usme la sakta tha, jitne alag alag tarah ki chize mei usko de sakta tha character ko voh mei already de chuka tha. (The time had arrived because I thought that I had given a lot to this character in the past 4 years. I had evoked all colors and shades and gave a lot to the character)."

He continued, "Muje lag rha tha kaafi samay se mai shayad as an actor exhaust ho rha hu toh samay aane wala hai, samay aa gaya aur jis din aaya uss din mei sabko milke, gale laga ke vaha se nikal liya.
