Production

Development

In February 2020, Rajan Shahi, the producer of Aai Kuthe Kay Karte, announced his plan to produce its Hindi remake, Anupamaa, stating, "This interesting concept around a mother's journey has been so inspirational that Star wants to bring it in Hindi too".[8]

To celebrate Raksha Bandhan in 2020, the cast of the series created a special song titled 'Aaj Rakhi Nau Tyohaar Chhe' (Today is Raksha Bandhan's festival). This unique song blended Gujarati, Hindi, and English languages.[9]

The story took a leap of 5 years on 20 December 2023, with Anuj-Anupamaa's divorce and Anupamaa visiting the USA.

Casting

Casting of the series started in February 2020 with Rupali Ganguly being cast as the protagonist Anupamaa, returning to television after seven years.[10] She said, "When I joined Anupamaa, I was a little plump and I told our producer Rajan Shahi that you want a heroine and at this age, let me lose some weight. But the producer told me that he didn't want a heroine but a mother instead. ‘I want a mother and you are perfect for the role because mothers are like this."[11]

It followed up by Sudhanshu Pandey being cast as Anupamaa's first ex-husband, Vanraj Shah,[12] Paras Kalnawat, Muskaan Bamne, Aashish Mehrotra, Alpana Buch and Arvind Vaidya being cast as Samar Shah, Pakhi Shah, Paritosh Shah, Leela Shah and Hasmukh Shah respectively.[13][14][15][16][17][18] Madhavi Gogate, Ekta Saraiya, Paresh Bhatt, Stuti Zakarde, Mehul Nisar and Bhakti Chauhan were cast to play Kanta Joshi, Dolly Shah Dhamecha, Sanjay Dhamecha, Meenali Dhamecha, Bhavesh Joshi and Jhilmil respectively.[19][20][21] However, days before the filming resumed after the COVID-19 outbreak in late June, Additi Gupta was confirmed to be infected with the virus.[22][23] She was replaced by Madalsa Sharma and the sequences earlier shot by Gupta were reshot by Madalsa.[24]

Days after premiering in July 2020, Shekhar Shukla, Nidhi Shah and Farooq Saeed were signed to play Jignesh, Kinjal Dave and Pramod Dave respectively.[25][26][27] Tasneem Sheikh, Anagha Bhosale were and Rushad Rana were cast as Rakhi Dave, Nandini Iyer and Aniruddh Gandhi.[28][29][30] In April 2021, Apurva Agnihotri[31] joined the cast as Dr. Advait Khanna for a cameo and completed his role in June 2021.[32]

In June 2021, rumours of "conflicts and groupism on sets" arose between cast members, one group led by Ganguly with Buch, Mehrotra and Bamne, and another by Pandey, with Sharma, Kalnawat and Bhosale which cast denied.[33][34]

In late August 2021 Gaurav Khanna was cast as Anuj Kapadia.[35]

In September 2021, Deepak Gheewala was cast to play Gopichandra Karodia.[36] Also that month, Varun Sharma was cast as Rohan to play a cameo and he finished off his role in October 2021. Next, Savita Prabhune replaced Madhavi Gogate as Kanta Joshi in late October 2021.[37] In December 2021, actress Aneri Vajani joined the cast to play Malavika Kapadia.[38]

In January 2022, there were rumours of "ego clashes" between Pandey and Khanna, which they both publicly denied.[39]

In March 2022, Anagha Bhosale playing Nandini announced her decision to take a break from acting,[40] and later quit acting forever, ending Nandini's character and shot her last scene in February 2022.[41][42] Later that month, Aneri Vajani playing Malavika also announced that her role was just a cameo and right now its shown on a long break due to viewers' disconnect with her role's negative development.[43]

In May 2022, singer Mika Singh made a special appearance as Anuj's friend in Anupamaa and Anuj's Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony and to promote his upcoming show Swayamvar – Mika Di Vohti.[44] During that month, Aneri Vajani announced her decision to participate in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 12 and quit the series.[45][46]

Later that month, Rohit Bakshi[47] and Ashlesha Sawant[48] were cast to play Ankush Kapadia and Barkha Mehta Kapadia respectively while Alma Hussein[49] and Adhik Mehta[50][51] were cast to play Sara Kapadia and Adhik Mehta opposite Kalnawat and Bamne respectively. In an interview after being cast as Adhik Mehta, Mehta revealed that "he earlier auditioned for the role of Samar (which eventually locked to Kalnawat) in the casting phase of the series but it didn't happened at that time".[52] Child artist Asmi Deo was also cast as an orphan Anu but her track was put on hold and resumed in July 2022.[53]

In July 2022, Paras Kalnawat signed on to appear on the dance-based reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 on rival network Colors TV. Anupamaa makers objected and terminated his contract overnight on 26 July 2022.[54] Paras said that after Bhosale's exit his character never evolved, and that he was unhappy with his role being reduced to a mere family member standing in background with nothing to do anything.[54][55][56][57] Later after facing several controversies related to the series, makers replaced Kalnawat overnight by Sagar Parekh in the same month.[58]

In September 2022, Alma Hussein who was cast opposite Kalnawat also quit the series, saying she was unhappy with the lack of character development and shot her last scene in early August 2022.[59][60]

In November 2022, Nishi Saxena and Rishabh Jaiswal were cast to portray Dimple 'Dimpy' and her husband Nimrit. However, Jaiswal exited the show in the same month because his appearance was just a short cameo and Saxena was then paired up with Sagar Parekh portraying Samar.

In January 2023, actress Chhavi Pandey was cast to do an extended cameo of Anu's biological mother Maya who wrapped up in July 2023 following her character's death.[61] In May 2023, Apara Mehta was cast as Anuj's mother Malti Devi, while her daughter Khushali Jariwala played her younger version on screen.[62][63]

In October 2023, Sagar Parekh, who replaced Paras Kalnawat in the role of Samar in July 2022 was confirmed exiting the show with storyline showcasing Samar's death due to decreasing TRP ratings of the show.[65][66][67] In the following month actor and dancer Kunwar Amar joined the cast as Tapesh opposite Nishi Saxena portraying Dimple.[68]

Post leap, Child actress Asmi Deo was replaced by Aurra Bhatnagar Badoni to play teen version of Anupamaa and Anuj's adopted daughter Aadhya Kapadia[69] while Savita Prabhune's character Kanta was shown dead thus marking an end to her character. Child actor Trishaan Shah was cast to play Samar and Dimple's son Ansh Shah.[69] The same month Muskan Bamne portraying Pakhi quit the series after 3 years as "she doesn't wish to play mother at such a young age and wants to move ahead in her career"[70] and was later replaced by Chandni Bhagwanani[71] while child actor Aadhya Barot was cast as her daughter Ishani Mehta in same month.[72] Sukirti Kandpal too entered the show as Anuj's fiancée Shruti Ahuja in same month.[73] Recently, Rituraj Singh and Dishi Duggal too entered the show as Yashpal and his mother.[74][75] In January 2024, Child actress Princy Prajapati replaced Noorain Khan as the grown up version of Kinjal and Paritosh's daughter Pari, while Pahal Chaudhary was cast to play Kavya's daughter Mahi.

Reception

Critics

India Today stated, "Rupali Ganguly fits the character perfectly and aces the role of a Gujarati homemaker. The show strikes a chord with the homemakers as they can identify with the protagonist. Anupamaa has the right amount of emotions, drama, and spice. The show has the right mix of family values and a modern outlook. The show is a heartwarming tale".[105]

ThePrint appreciated the series along with few other Hindi GECs based on the story of a mother mentioning that it delivered moral lessons and calling the character Anupamaa as paragon of virtue and farcical.[106]

On its popularity, Yashika Singla of The Print noted, "It has become a feminist movement in itself. From young women commuting in the Metro to mothers and grandmothers at home, everyone is watching it."[107]

Shephali Bhatt of The Mint stated, "At a time when the plot points of Indian TV shows get more outlandish every day — Anupama seems to be rewriting the Indian television playbook".[108]

Anupamaa's (Rupali Ganguly) "aapko kya" dialogue went viral on social media and was subject to various memes and recreations.[109][110][111]
