Star Plus’ flagship drama Anupamaa continues to dominate the TRP charts, captivating audiences with its emotionally charged storyline. Currently, the show is exploring a powerful arc where Anupamaa confronts Sonu and finally brings closure to Samar’s tragic journey. However, while the narrative intensifies on-screen, an unexpected development off-screen has left fans emotional.
Vidushi Tiwari Steps Away from Ishaani’s Role
In a surprising turn of events, actress Vidushi Tiwari, who portrayed the beloved character of Ishaani, has officially exited the show. She announced her departure via social media, citing serious health concerns as the reason behind her decision. Her heartfelt message resonated deeply with fans, many of whom have followed her journey since she first appeared on the show.
Health Scare During Wedding Track
The actress revealed that her health began deteriorating during the filming of Ansh and Prarthana’s wedding sequence. As the shoot progressed, Vidushi started feeling unwell and had to leave midway to seek urgent medical attention. The following day, her medical reports confirmed a severe liver infection. Consequently, doctors advised her to undergo a minimum of six months of intensive treatment and rest.
Support from the Anupamaa Team
Despite the sudden setback, Vidushi expressed immense gratitude towards the production house DKP (Director’s Kut Productions). She shared that the team was incredibly supportive throughout her ordeal. From regular check-ins to emotional encouragement, the cast and crew stood by her side. Rupali Ganguly, fondly known as Anu Maa, personally reached out to offer comfort. Shivam and other co-stars also extended their concern and well-wishes.
Although the production team was willing to accommodate her recovery period, Vidushi made the difficult choice to step away. She explained that she didn’t want to keep the storyline or the team waiting for half a year. Prioritizing her health, she decided to part ways with Anupamaa, a show she described as a “family” and a “creative home.”
A Bittersweet Goodbye
Vidushi’s exit marks the end of Ishaani’s chapter, at least for now. Her portrayal of the character brought depth and emotion to the show, and her absence will surely be felt by fans and colleagues alike. Nevertheless, her decision reflects strength and self-awareness—choosing healing over hustle.
As Anupamaa continues to evolve, viewers will miss Vidushi’s presence. But her health and well-being come first, and fans across the country are sending her love, prayers, and hopes for a speedy recovery.
