Sudhanshu Pandey revealed the real reason for quitting 'Anupamaa'. Nidhi Shah gave a hint at the fights on the set, and shared how constant shoot took a toll on the actor's health.
Sudhanshu Pandey is one of the famous television actors who has been seen in several movies such as Khiladi 420, Kiss Kis Ko, The Myth, Manoranjan, and Dhara. Well, his role in Anupamaa has grabbed a whole lot of attention. A few months back, Sudhanshu left the show, leaving everyone shocked. When he left the show, the buzz was rife that Sudhanshu left the show due to his fight with Rupali Ganguly. Well, he dismissed the claims, and now, he revealed the real reason that led him to make this decision.
In a recent podcast with Bakhtayar Irani and Ali Asgar, Sudhanshu Pandey, along with his other Anupamaa co-stars, Paras Kalnawat, and Nidhi Shah, revealed the reason for them leaving the show. As per Sudhanshu, the show aired during the lockdown, and since then, it has become a cult and created history.
The actor further added that everything has a time of its own descent, and it was difficult for him to show it effortlessly. Sudhanshu Pandey said that he feared that his role in the show would get repetitive and the audience would be bored. Meanwhile, Nidhi chipped in and mentioned that Sudhanshu had faced a whole lot of challenges while shooting for the show. In Sudhanshu's words:
"Anupamaa happened when Covid had just kicked in, from then till now, the show became a cult. It created History, but everything has its time for a descent, and it was getting difficult for me to show it effortlessly. There would have been a time (when) my character would get repetitive, boring the audience. I feared that.”
Nidhi Shah, in the same podcast, revealed that while the audience enjoys the creativity of an actor on the screen, they used to cry while performing the scene. Nidhi further added how the show took a toll on Sudhanshu's mental health, and physical health. She also revealed how Sudhanshu even couldn't stand properly and would take five to six painkillers a day, and along with it, the actor would have 15-page scenes to do.
In the same interview, Nidhi Shah mentioned that there were several 'fights' on the show, which had become a trigger point. When she was asked who used to fight on set, all three actors laughed it off, and Sudhanshu gave a very diplomatic answer by saying, 'Koi to tha set pe.' When asked if Rupali was not a conducive actor to work with, Nidhi said that the former was a very good actor, and it left Sudhanshu and Paras laughing.
The speculations about Rupali Ganguly and Sudhanshu Pandey's cold war on Anupamaa's set started to hit the headlines when the actor skipped tagging the actress on his post. This incident left everyone wondering if the reports about the 'cold war' were actually right. For the uninitiated, Sudhanshu played the role of Rupali's ex-husband on Anupamaa. The same buzz again ignited when Sudhanshu quit the show. Following this, he also unfollowed the actress, which yet again firmed the ongoing rumours.
