Television circles are abuzz with speculation. Ronit Roy, one of Indian TV’s most respected actors, is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Anupamaa, Star Plus’s flagship drama. If the deal goes through, Roy may take over the role of Vanraj Shah, a character long portrayed by Sudhanshu Pandey. Although the makers have not issued an official confirmation, the rumor mill is in overdrive.
Sudhanshu Pandey’s Sudden Exit Shocks Fans
Sudhanshu Pandey’s sudden exit from the show left fans stunned. His portrayal of Vanraj—flawed yet compelling—was central to the show’s emotional core. Naturally, viewers are now wondering what’s next for the character. Will Vanraj be written off? Or will a new face bring fresh energy to the role?
Ronit Roy to Enter
Known for his commanding screen presence and nuanced performances, Roy could be a game-changer for Anupamaa. Over the years, he has delivered memorable roles in shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and Adaalat. His portrayal of Mr. Bajaj in Kasautii earned him widespread acclaim, despite modest pay during the early days of his career. In fact, Roy recently revealed he earned just ₹1800–₹2000 per episode back then—a stark contrast to his current stature.
Ronit Roy’s Journey Across TV And Bollywood
Beyond television, Roy has made a mark in Bollywood and digital platforms. Films like Udaan, 2 States, and Kaabil showcased his versatility. He also impressed audiences in web series such as Hostages and Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain. Moreover, he runs a successful security agency that has served top stars including Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
Despite the buzz, Ronit Roy has denied being approached for Anupamaa. In a recent interview, he clarified that the rumors are unfounded. Still, the possibility of his entry has stirred excitement. After all, Anupamaa has been facing stiff competition in the TRP race, and a casting shake-up could be just what the show needs. For now, fans can only wait and watch. Whether Roy joins or not, one thing is certain—Vanraj Shah’s future remains a hot topic. And if Ronit Roy does step in, expect fireworks.
