What's the story
The popular daily soap Anupamaa might just take a new leap of 10-15 years with a fresh set of casting. Various media reports suggest that the show is going to undergo several changes, except for its primary lead cast, which includes Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna, playing Anupamaa and Anuj, respectively. This comes after Sudhanshu Pandey who portrayed the character of Vanraj Shah, Anupamaa's husband, left the show.
Details
New storyline planned with Ganguly and Khanna
The show had recently undergone a leap of a few months, after which Anuj and Anupamaa were seen shifting to the Asha Bhawan, followed by the entire Shah family. However, with the leap of 10-15 years, the makers are planning a totally new storyline with Ganguly and Khanna leading the story, while the rest of the cast members seem out of the picture.

In an interview with the above-mentioned portal, Madalsa revealed that her character, Kavya, had lost all her edge. She said she talked to the makers about reviving the character and giving her some importance in the narrative, but the writers couldn't do that with the presence of so many characters in the story already.
