Ever since the latest promo of Anupamaa dropped, fans have been left worried. As Anupamaa (Rupali Ganguly) talks about her life with Anuj (Gaurav Khanna), his photo frame falls down, hinting that his character may die soon in the daily. The scene left audiences in shock as they believe he is the only hope in Anupamaa’s life, and his departure would mean the end of their beautiful story.

When indianexpress.com reached out to the actor, Gaurav Khanna did not want to give any spoilers. However, he did say that he too has been reading the comments on social media about Anuj’s death. “All I can say for now is that I am fully committed to Anupamaa and Star Plus. I have full faith in Rajan Shahi’s vision. I really don’t know what lies ahead in the track. So, I would really want the audiences to wait and watch.”

And as per the original storyline, Anuj and Anupamaa continue to have a long life together. “These dramatic storylines come and go but how can Anuj die? He is one of the pillars of the show.
