Sudhanshu, who played the adored Vanraj Shah, added a certain flair to the show, therefore many people found his departure to be very shocking and depressing. After learning of this shocking development, Chandni Bhagwanani—who plays Vanraj’s daughter Pakhi on the show—was contacted by Pinkvilla to find out what she thought about Sudhanshu leaving.

Regarding Sudhanshu Pandey’s Unexpected Leave from Anupamaa, Chandni Bhagwanani
When Chandni Bhagwanani thought back on Sudhanshu Pandey’s exit, she said, “It was really sad.” We’re allowing him some room. We get so many calls, I’m sure he must be getting a lot too. Just think of all the calls he could be receiving. We’re just giving him the room, that’s all. Everyone is so sensitive about it that there isn’t a word about it on the sets. That we don’t get to see him on the sets is incredibly disappointing.
On Her Relationship with Sudhanshu Pandey, Chandni Bhagwanani
Chandni talked about her strong bond with Sudhanshu and how he was like a father figure to her on set. He treated me so well on the Anupamaa sets.

To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever received as many texts as I do right now, for whatever reason. It’s truly absurd.
Chandni Bhagwanani reflects on her memories of Sudhanshu Pandey from the Anupamaa sets.
Chandni reminisced about her time spent on set with Sudhanshu and said, “We are really missing him.” We had a gang mentality. We were all part of a gang. On the sets, we would hang out, relax, and share meals. Sir would sing during our pauses between shots, and we would have amazing chats. That he is no longer a part of the show is truly sad. While on the sets, we have some wonderful recollections.
There is no doubt that Sudhanshu Pandey’s exit from Anupamaa created a hole in the program for both the cast and the audience. Together with Chandni Bhagwanani, the program features gifted performers like Rupali
