Before you start jumping to conclusions—no, Anuj Kapadia has not returned to the daily chaos of Anupamaa. But yes, he is trending again thanks to a moment that hit TV fans right in the feels. A special episode from Star Plus’ Romance Ki Barsaat just dropped an emotional bomb, showing Anuj (played by Gaurav Khanna) giving away his daughter Rahi in a beautifully shot wedding scene.
That’s right—the same Gaurav Khanna who once ruled Anupamaa as the charming, dependable Anuj is now winning hearts again, this time in a completely different show. While Anupamaa continues its solo ride, fans finally saw a version of Anuj doing what they always hoped for—being there for his daughter on the biggest day of her life.
Rahi-Prem Wedding Goes Viral: Sindoor, Varmala & Papa Kapadia’s Blessings
In the trending scene, Rahi and Prem tie the knot with full desi drama—sindoor, jaimala, and a whole lot of emotion. The most heart-tugging moment? When Anuj lovingly performs the kanyadaan, blesses the newlyweds, and hugs them with the warmth only a screen dad like Gaurav Khanna can deliver.
The clip spread like wildfire online, not just because it was beautiful—but because fans couldn’t help but whisper, “Wish this happened in Anupamaa.” Ever since Anuj’s exit from the show, the TRP graph hasn’t quite recovered. New characters were tossed into the mix, but let’s be real—none could replace the Gaurav-shaped void.
Meanwhile in Anupamaa: A Dance Face-Off With Zero Closure (Yet)
While Romance Ki Barsaat gave fans a taste of what could have been, Anupamaa itself is deep in a bizarre dance war between Anu and her daughter. Neither of them knows what they’re really fighting for (and honestly, neither do we), but the emotional confrontation is clearly building.
So, no—Anuj Kapadia isn’t back in Anupamaa. But his presence in Romance Ki Barsaat was enough to remind everyone just how badly the main show needs that emotional depth again. Whether the makers got the hint or not… the audience definitely did.
