A fresh wave of gossip recently swept across social media, hinting at an alleged rift between Anupamaa stars Manish Goel and Rupali Ganguly. Speculation suggested growing tension on set and even reports that Manish might exit the show. However, the actor has now spoken out to set the record straight.
Manish Goel Addresses Rift Rumours on Instagram
Manish Goel took to Instagram to put an end to the swirling speculations. In a move that surprised many, he shared a heartwarming behind-the-scenes video from the Anupamaa sets featuring none other than Rupali Ganguly.
The clip showed the duo laughing and engaging in playful banter, clearly demonstrating their chemistry and camaraderie. The message was loud and clear — there’s no bad blood between them.
In the caption, Manish simply wrote: “To all the trollers”, making it evident that he was addressing the controversy head-on, while maintaining grace and subtlety.
Fans React with Joy to the Clarification
The video quickly went viral, and fans flooded the comments with relief and happiness. One fan commented, “All’s well that ends well,” while another noted, “They look so happy — this is the proof we needed.”
The post not only dismissed the rumours but also gave fans a refreshing glimpse of the light-hearted environment on the Anupamaa sets, despite recent cast changes.
Manish’s Earlier Statement Denied Fallout with Rupali
Prior to this Instagram post, Manish Goel had already responded to these allegations in an interview with India Forums. He laughed off the rumours and said:
“Ha Ha Ha, absolutely not… I have known her since I landed in Mumbai and this is the fourth time I am working with her. Usually, there is no fire without spark, but in this case, there is neither spark nor fire. I do not know why people spread such things. This is false.”
This statement, combined with the recent video, has silenced the trolls — at least for now.
About the Show: Anupamaa’s Constant Evolution
Produced by Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi under the banner of Director’s Kut Productions, Anupamaa has become one of the most-watched Hindi television shows in recent years. Led by Rupali Ganguly, who portrays the titular character, the series has consistently ranked high on TRP charts.
However, the show has undergone significant changes, especially following a 15-year leap in the storyline. Several actors have exited the show, including:
-
Sudhanshu Pandey, who played Vanraj Shah
-
Gaurav Khanna
-
Nidhi Shah
-
Kunwar Amar Singh
Additionally, Alisha Parveen, who was introduced in October 2024 as Rahi, is being replaced by actress Adrija Roy.
Conclusion: Manish and Rupali Are Still on Good Terms
Despite the rumour mill working overtime, it’s now clear that Manish Goel and Rupali Ganguly share a strong, friendly bond. Their fun interaction off-screen reaffirms that not everything seen or assumed on social media is true.
As Anupamaa continues its run with a refreshed storyline and evolving cast, fans can now breathe easy knowing that at least one on-screen partnership is still going strong — both on and off camera.
