What Did the Report Say on 'Anupamaa' Rupali Ganguly?

The report by Zoom/Times Now quotes a source as saying, “Rupali Ganguly will be quitting Anupamaa in the next three months. The makers introduced a big 15-year leap to introduce new lead characters like Shivam Khajuria and Adrija Roy. Once the makers develop a strong love angle between Prem and Rahi, Anupama (Rupali Ganguly) will exit the show.”

Some actors have confessed about having problems with Rupali Ganguly on set. But the fact is that Anupamaa has been running since 2020 and there have been a lot of changes to the storyline and leaps.
