Gaurav Khanna opens up on quitting Anupamaa

Speaking to ETimes, Gaurav said that people constantly kept asking about his return. After discussions with producer Rajan Shahi, there was a possibility of a grand re-entry, but after waiting for two months, it did not work out. “The storyline had to progress, and waiting no longer made sense. He, too, felt it was time for me to explore something bigger. So, for now, Anuj’s chapter is closed, but I see it as a comma, not a full stop. If the story demands and my schedule allows, I’d be happy to return,” said Gaurav.
