Muskaan Bamne, who portrayed Pakhi in the hit show Anupama, is now making headlines as she enters Bigg Boss 18. Recently, she spoke about the much-discussed rumors surrounding co-stars exiting Anupama due to lead actress Rupali Ganguly. Muskaan clarified several things in an interview before stepping into the Bigg Boss house.
Did Co-stars Leave Because of Rupali Ganguly? Muskaan Bamne Speaks Out
For a while now, rumors have been swirling that actors Sudhanshu Pandey and Madalsa Sharma left Anupama due to differences with Rupali Ganguly, who plays the titular role. Muskaan, who also left the show recently, was asked about this controversy. Clearing the air, Muskaan said, “People often think actors leave because of Rupali, but that’s not true. I never experienced anything negative with her. Rupali was always supportive, especially to me as the youngest on set. Whenever I struggled with something, she was there to guide me.”
She further added that Rupali Ganguly has a warm, helpful nature and that the stories of disputes often get exaggerated. Muskaan emphasized that the reason for her exit, and possibly others, had nothing to do with Rupali.
Why Did Muskaan Join Bigg Boss 18?
Muskaan Bamne revealed her decision to participate in Bigg Boss 18 was to show the audience her true personality. Known for playing Pakhi in Anupama, a character often seen involved in intense drama and arguments, Muskaan shared that she is very different in real life. “I wanted people to see the real me. On TV, people only know the characters we play, but Bigg Boss allows showing who I really am,” Muskaan said.
Anupama’s Leap and New Faces
Muskaan also hinted at an upcoming leap in the storyline of Anupama, which might explain the departure of Sudhanshu Pandey and Madalsa Sharma. She mentioned, “Everyone on set misses them. The show’s dynamics have changed without them, but new characters may come in after the leap.”
