Aashish Mehrotra Quits 'Anupamaa' after four-year stint

Anupamaa fans were taken aback by Aashish Mehrotra's recent announcement. After captivating audiences with his portrayal of Toshu for the past four years alongside Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna, Aashish revealed on his social media just an hour ago that he is bidding farewell to Anupamaa. Yes, you heard it right. In Rajan Shahi's show, Aashish is seen as Anupamaa Son. 

Aashish posted a note on social media captioning it,"  "It was a beautiful beautiful journey… a beautiful journey of almost 4 years as your ""Tosh"" in Anupamaa… The character being just the opposite of who I am as a person… has made it more challenging and fun to live with.. It has been a huge roller coaster ride.. But whatttt a ride!!!

From a topper in college - mba gold medalist, most loved son being the 1st born, then the rebel child, drunkard , bhaag kar shaadi karne waala lover, saas ka ghulaam- ghar jamai, selfish money lover, loving brother, comic property dealer to being bed ridden after a stroke.. apne bacchi chura kar bhag gaya tha… kyaaa kyaa nahi kiyaa hai yaar in this journey… Toshus love for his father was the most special thing to me in this journey.. It brings tears instantly… Its all so overwhelming…

I found some amazing people through this journey who will stay with me for life… and to my audience my second family - thank you for hating me soo much that I could feel your love and connect with me always.

You guys will see me soon in some other roop or may be the real me…

Seeking your acceptance, love, blessings forever. Signing off with tons of gratitude"
