The popular Indian television show Anupamaa, starring Rupali Ganguly, is gearing up for a significant transformation as it prepares for a 15-year generational leap. This leap will see the exit of several key cast members, including Sudhanshu Pandey, Madalsa Sharma, Gaurav Sharma, Nidhi Shah, and Kunwar Amar. With such major changes ahead, speculation is rife about who will be joining the cast in the next chapter of the show.
Smriti Irani To Star In Anupamaa
One of the most intriguing rumours circulating is the potential return of actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani to the small screen. Known for her iconic role as Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Smriti Irani was a household name in Indian television before she transitioned into politics. Reports from Tellychakkar suggest that she may be making a special cameo appearance in the upcoming leap of Anupamaa. If the rumours are true, this would mark Smriti Irani’s return to television after a 15-year hiatus. Her last appearance on the small screen was in the 2013 horror thriller series Ek Thhi Naayka, produced by Ekta Kapoor. The show featured various female protagonists combating evil forces, promoting Kapoor’s film Ek Thi Daayan.
Regarding Anupamaa’s storyline, the show, which has been a TRP topper since its launch in 2020, is expected to introduce a new generation of characters. Joining the revamped cast are Alisha Parveen and Shivam Khajuria, who will take on leading roles. The show, based on the Bengali series Sreemoyee, is produced by Rajan and Deepa Shahi under Director’s Kut Productions and airs on Star Plus.
While fans eagerly wait for an official announcement, the possibility of Smriti Irani’s return has already generated buzz and excitement among audiences who fondly remember her iconic TV roles in shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Teen Bahuraaniyaan and more.
