Sudhanshu Pandey became widely recognized as Vanraj Shah, thanks to his role as the antagonist in 'Anupamaa'. The show has consistently topped TRP charts since its premiere in 2020, making Rupali Ganguly, Sudhanshu, and Gaurav Khanna household names. Recently, rumours surfaced that Rupali and Gaurav were leaving the show, but it turns out that it's actually Sudhanshu who has bid farewell.

In an emotional Instagram live on Wednesday evening, the actor announced his departure from the show to his fans. In the video, he said, "Mai pichle chaar saal se roj pahuch raha hun apke ghar ek daily soap ke jariye, ek kirdar play kar raha hu jiske liye mujhe bahut sara pyar or narazgi mili, but wo narazgi bhi ek tarike se pyar hi raha hai. Agar aap naraz na hote mere character dekh kar to mujhe lagta mai sahi tarike se nibha nahi pa raha hoon.”
Sudhanshu further added, "I want to tell all of you with a heavy heart that I am now not a part of Anupamaa show. Raksha Bandhan episode se mai show ka hissa nahi hoon, par itne din beet gaye the or meri audience mujhse naraz na ho ki ye bina bataye kaise chala gaya toh mujhe laga ye meri zimmedari hai ki mai ye baat bataun aap sab ko. Par hame jeevan me aage badhna hi padta hai to I want you all to keep loving me always in my future works.”
While the actor didn't disclose the reason behind his exit, producer Rajan Shahi recently confirmed that Rupali and Gaurav are still very much part of the show.
Meanwhile, Sudhanshu has been focusing on his music career, which he had set aside to concentrate on acting. He recently released a single with Behisaba and announced the reunion of A Band Of Boys, who have released their new song, 'Gori Again.'
