Sudhanshu Pandey On Rumours Of Anupamaa Producer Favouring Him: "I Would Have Taken Advantage Of It"

The show also stars Rupali Ganguly

Sudhanshu Pandey, best known for his portrayal of Vanraj Shah in the highly popular television show Anupamaa, recently discussed how the show has impacted his life. He also addressed rumours about the show's producer Rajan Shahi favouring him and his potential departure from the show. In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Sudhanshu said, "If I got so much importance from Rajan, who is my old and good friend, and if we had so much closeness and love then I myself would have played the role of Anupamaa. So people who think I get much more importance from Rajan, they are wrong."

Sudhanshu added, "I am not Anupamaa, I don't drape a saree. That's Rupali. I am Vanraj Shah and I will continue to be that. And I believe Rajan Shahi is a very sorted producer and a human being and he will never compromise on his show for any emotional reason. This is extremely wrong that he favours me. If that was the case then I would have taken advantage of it, I would have asked him to give me work all 30 days and pay me for all 30 days and if that cannot happen then remove Rupali and I will play the role of Anupamaa."

When asked if he is planning to quit the show, Sudhanshu Pandey said, "No, I have never thought of leaving the show. I have never spoken anything such to anybody, nor have I ever thought of it. I think when we have put so much hard work into making this show, today when Vanraj Shah's character has become such an iconic character, his dialogue ‘Vanraj Shah is back' has become so popular."
