Rahul Sharma bids an emotional adieu to Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: 'Hardest part of the journey'

In an industry where characters come and go, few manage to leave a lasting impression in a short span of time. Rahul Sharma, who stepped into the long-running Star Plus show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as Anshuman, proved to be one such presence. Although his stint on the show was relatively brief, it was enough to make a connection with the audience — and with the people behind the scenes.

Today, Rahul took to Instagram to announce the end of his journey as Anshuman, posting a heartfelt note along with behind-the-scenes pictures featuring the entire cast and crew. His caption reflected genuine gratitude and a deep emotional bond with the character and team he worked with.

“THANK YOU- ?????? ??,” he began.

Sharing his thoughts on leaving the show, Rahul wrote,
"This is the hardest part of any journey, to say goodbye to a beautiful show, to an amazing character, to the people who gave you so much love and warmth on the set."

He expressed how unexpectedly rewarding the journey was:
"I never knew when I started this journey that Anshuman would receive so much love and warmth not only from the beautiful and lovely souls of our YRKKH set but also from the beloved audience."

Rahul extended heartfelt thanks to producer Rajan Shahi, writing,
"Thank you for not only giving me Anshuman but also believing and appreciating me. It means a lot as an actor. Very few people do that in our industry. Thank you for being you."

He also thanked the DKP team and his fellow actors, calling the experience “smooth, full of warmth, fun, and love.”

Rahul ended the post with a hopeful sign-off:
"Until next time ????."
