However, in August 2024, the actor took a mid-way exit from the show overnight, leaving the audience in shock. The actor took to his Instagram live session to announce his departure. Although he did not reveal the reason behind his exit, the actor apologized to his fans for the sudden decision.
Before Anupamaa, rumors were rife about Ronit Roy returning to Television with a Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi sequel. However, later, the actor disclosed that he is not a part of the Smriti Irani-led show.
