Discussing her decision to leave Anupamaa, Madalsa, who is married to actor Mimoh Chakraborty, explained that her character had lost its appeal, prompting her to move on. “It was a mutual decision between me and the makers that living on for me is the right thing to do as I’ve given 4 years of my blood and sweat to the show. It’s time to move on,” Madalsa shared.

Sudhanshu Pandey, who portrayed Vanraj Shah, had also exited the show earlier. In an interview, he mentioned that although he committed himself fully to the role for four years, he felt his growth was stifled, leading him to decide it was time to leave.
