Gaurav Khanna’s hot streak continues. He recently won Celebrity MasterChef, bagging a prize of ₹20 lakh. Fans are now speculating that he’ll be back in the popular TV show Anupama after a five-month break. Gaurav played Anuj Kapadia, a character that won over the audience’s hearts.
Gaurav left Anupama in 2024 when the show announced a leap in its storyline. Now, he’s hinting at a possible return. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Gaurav said that Anuj is not fully out of the show – it’s just a pause. He compared it to a comma, not a full stop. Indian TV is known for bringing back characters, so anything can happen.
Anuj and Gaurav: Similarities
Gaurav revealed that Anuj is one of his favorite roles. He took just five minutes to accept the part when Rajan Shahi pitched it to him. In real life, Gaurav and Anuj share similarities. Gaurav explained that every show has its own format, and Anupama’s current storyline doesn’t include Anuj.
Gaurav also clarified his relationship with co-star Rupali Ganguly in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. He praised her as an excellent actress and a great co-star. However, he doesn’t consider her a friend. Gaurav believes that being friends means being able to call each other anytime, which isn’t the case with him and Rupali.
Gaurav also touched upon the controversy surrounding their on-screen interactions. He acknowledged that Rupali, being the senior actress and the face of the show, has a significant say in how scenes are played out. Gaurav respected her opinions and didn’t impose his views on the scenes.
Rupali Ganguly recently shared a post on Instagram. Gaurav also shared a video on his Instagram account.
