Actor Ronit Roy has denied the rumours about replacing Sudhanshu Pandey as Vanraj Shah in Anupamaa. He said, "I'm not doing Anupamaa. The news is completely false, and I won't be playing Vanraj." The show, starring Rupali Ganguly, has been without the character Vanraj since Sudhanshu's 2024 exit after four years, though he never disclosed the reason behind his departure.
