Ronit Roy On Rumours About Joining Anupamaa: ‘Completely False'
Rupali Ganguly's Anupamaa has seen a dip in its rating over the past few weeks and the creators have been looking to introduce fresh twists in the plot to keep viewers captivated. There were rumours that the makers are planning to bring back one of their most memorable characters, Vanraj Shah. Since Sudhanshu Pandey's departure, the character Vanraj Shah has been missing. It was being speculated that Ronit Roy will take up the role. In the latest, the actor has finally broken his silence and addressed the persistent rumours.
Denying all such rumours, Ronit Roy told TellyChakkar, 'I'm not doing Anupamaa – the news is completely false, and I won't be playing Vanraj." Moreover, a report by Midday quoted a source as saying, 'There haven't been any developments regarding Vanraj on the show. These are just speculations and there isn't anything true about it.' Ronit Roy has also shared with various media portals that he isn't doing the show; the speculations regarding his entry in Anupamaa are completely false."
After a spectacular four-year run, actor Sudhanshu Pandey, who played Vanraj Shah, surprised everyone when he announced his departure from the show last year. Later, following the leap, many actors have left the programme, including Gaurav Khanna, Nidhi Shah and Kunwar Amar Singh.
The show, produced by Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi under the umbrella of Director's Kut Productions, has become a fan favourite over the years since its launch on July 13, 2020. Rupali Ganguly, the titular character, leads the charge.
Speaking of the current track on the show, Anu and Raahi will soon square off on the dancing competition stage. Despite being aware of Anu and Raahi's participation in the same competition, Prem chose to keep it a secret from both of them. According to the show's latest promo, the Shahs will finally learn about Anupamaa's whereabouts through this challenge. It will be fascinating to see whether Anupamaa returns to Ahmedabad or remains in Mumbai.

The Chola Tigers by Amish to release on August 29
New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) Bestselling author Amish's upcoming book 'The Chola Tigers", the second installment in his Indic Chronicles, will hit the stands on August 29, announced publishing house Harper Collins India on Tuesday. The historical fiction, which builds on the world introduced in the author's 2020 bestseller 'Legend of Suheldev", is touted to be a 'thrilling historical saga of defiance, honour and redemption it celebrates the indomitable spirit of India". The book's cover was released by Tamil superstar Rajinikanth. ''The Chola Tigers' is an exhilarating story in which Emperor Rajendra Chola, the mightiest man of his era, orders a daring surgical strike on Ghazni in response to Sultan Mahmud's attack on the Somnath temple. 'This work of historical fiction is linked to my 2020 release 'Legend of Suheldev'. It is about a mission ordered by one of the greatest Tamilians ever, Emperor Rajendra Chola," Amish, author of 'Shiva Trilogy' and 'Ram Chandra Series', said in a statement. The plot unfolds around Mahmud of Ghazni's devastating attack on the revered Somnath temple, sparking response from the era's most powerful monarch, emperor Rajendra Chola as 'he summons a squad of defiant assassins to embark on a perilous quest and bring the fearsome enemy to his knees". According to the publisher, 'The Chola Tigers" explores the profound question: 'How far would you go to defend dharma and your country's honour?" 'The new novel is vintage Amish — a sweeping historical saga that is pacy, dramatic, simmering with political intrigue and personal vendetta, and heart-rending in its scenes of sacrifice and retribution. At its heart it masterfully explores the depths of human courage and resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a nation that refuses to be broken," said Poulomi Chatterjee, executive Publisher at HarperCollins India. Amish's previous books have sold more than 8 million copies and have been translated into 21 languages.
