Rajesh Kumar, best known for his role as Roshesh Sarabhai in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, recently addressed the allegations against Anupamaa actress Rupali Ganguly. Claims have surfaced suggesting that Rupali was responsible for the departure of several co-stars from the show. Reacting to these accusations, Rajesh remarked, “Suni sunai baaton pe main vishwas nahi karta…Sarabhai mein toh aisa koi situation nahi bana tha ki casting…or she must be thinking of opening a casting agency.” He dismissed the rumors, stating that he does not believe in hearsay.
When pressed further, Rajesh admitted that he was unaware of the situation and could not comment on it. “I do not know, so how can I comment on that? I am not even on the television circuit these days. I do not even know where her set is. I know it’s in Film City, and I have been there, but if you ask me today, I will have to ask the location of Anupamaa’s set.”
In 2024, Anupamaa saw major cast departures, with actors Sudhanshu Pandey and Gaurav Khanna announcing their exit from the show. More recently, actress Alisha Parveen, who portrayed Rashi, was abruptly replaced without prior notice, leaving fans speculating about Rupali Ganguly’s involvement. Alisha further accused Rupali of misbehavior on set and claimed she was insecure about her rising popularity.
However, in a recent interview, the 47-year-old actress firmly denied all of Alisha’s allegations. Rupali clarified that she had been a dedicated part of Anupamaa for years and had never requested any changes to the script for personal gain. She also questioned how Alisha could claim to influence casting decisions, emphasizing that such matters were beyond her control. Following the controversy, Alisha was ultimately replaced by actress Adrija Roy.
