Rupali Ganguly-led TV show Anupamaa has not had a very fruitful 2024. The show and its actors have been embroiled in controversies since the first half of 2024. A lot of actors including Sudhanshu Pandey, Kedar Aashish, Nidhi Shah, Muskan Bamne, Gaurav Khanna, Madalsa Sharma, etc quit the show. Some of them even hinted that Rupali Ganguly had something to do with their exit. Other than Rupali, even producer Rajan Shahi seems to be gaining an image of being difficult to work with. Earlier this year, he fired the leads from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai – Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe. Now, another actor from Anupamaa, Alisha Parveen, has been unceremoniously ousted from the show. Alisha plays Rupali’s daughter on the show.
Alisha took to Instagram stories and wrote, “Hello everyone, I didn’t quit the show Anupamaa but I don’t know the reason exactly why this happened, everything was good but I don’t know why this suddenly happened, it was shocking for me too. But thank you so much for loving Raahi/Aadhya, I am so grateful to be a part of this show, I worked so hard for the character, but I don’t know what just happened, just thankyou everyone who loved me! I will miss this show from the depth of my heart.”
Later in an interview with ETimes, the actress also said that she was informed about her exit a day prior in a meeting. She also added that she was completely clueless about the decision, and is now planning to focus on her future projects rather than dwelling on this unfortunate incident. Alisha’s co-star Shivam Khajuria exclusively spoke to SCREEN about her exit and said, “It was shocking. Alisha is my dear friend, she is very caring and sweet. Even we got to know of it on that day, so I don’t know what is happening.”
According to a report in India Forums, actress Adrija Roy will be replacing Alisha. The actress who played the lead in Imlie has also done a mock shoot and might take over the part soon as per the report. Anupamaa recently took a leap after which a lot of actors from the older cast were replaced.
