It was not a sudden exit: Randeep Rai on his track wrapping up in Anupamaa
Randeep Rai; with Shivam Khajuria and Zalak Desai in the show Randeep Rai , who portrayed Aryan in the hit television show Anupamaa, has officially wrapped up his stint on the series. Contrary to speculation, the actor clarified that his departure was not a sudden decision nor due to a change in the storyline. "I didn't exit because the script changed or the decision was forced on me," Randeep stated. "I was informed from the very beginning that my character would die and that the role would last for about 45 days. In fact, it extended to nearly two and a half months. I'm glad something this challenging came my way after a long time." Reflecting on his character, Randeep explained, "I enjoy playing lead roles—as I did in Balika Vadhu 2 and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2—but I also want to break out of the typical loverboy mold. Aryan was a layered character. He wasn't negative per se; he had reasons for his actions, including his resentment towards his mother and siblings. It was a character with depth and a strong narrative arc." Looking ahead, Randeep is open to exploring a variety of roles across platforms. "I'm not fixated on the medium. What matters is the strength of the role. Let's see where destiny takes me," he concluded. Currently, the track in the show focusses on Aryan (Randeep Rai) and Mahi (Spreha Chatterjee) getting married and the Kotharis and Shahs are rejoicing and celebrating the event. However, Aryan is caught taking drugs by Anupama ( Rupali Ganguly ) and she pleads him to tell the entire family that he has not given up on drugs.
