After four and a half unforgettable years, it's time for me to bid farewell to my beloved character, Kinjal, and the phenomenal show, Anupamaa. This journey has been beyond anything I could have ever imagined. To be a part of a show that's been number one on Indian television, consecutively, is a blessing I'II cherish forever. I am immensely grateful to God and to Anupamaa's visionary creator, @rajan.shahi.543, for trusting me with this role. My gratitude extends to my wonderful producer, co-actors, and the entire crew for their unwavering support and for making this journey so memorable. It's never easy to say goodbye, and with a heavy heart, I leave behind a piece of myself in Anupamaa. Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fans, who've loved and supported me unconditionally throughout this journey. Your love has been my strength, and I feel truly blessed to have had such incredible people rooting for me. Though it's difficult to move on, I know this is just the beginning. Here's to new chapters and more beautiful journeys ahead. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
With love,
Nidhi Shah.”
