Anupamaa-fame Aashish Mehrotra dropped a gratitude note as he exited the show. Read on!
Aashish Mehrotra is popularly recognized for playing Toshu in Rajan Shahi’s superhit show Anupamaa, which has garnered him immense fame and appreciation for his outstanding performance. In the show, he was seen in a love-hate relationship with his mother Anupamaa, played by Rupali Ganguly.
Just a few hours ago, the actor dropped a gratitude note as he exited the show, after working for four years.
Aashish Mehrotra’s gratitude note
Aashish aka Toshu shared a string of pictures from the sets of Anupamaa with his co-stars and along with it, added a long note. In the caption, he expressed his gratitude and feelings about his journey on the show as he exited Rajan Shahi’s show. Addressing his journey he wrote, “It was a beautiful beautiful journey… a beautiful journey of almost 4 years as your “Toshu” in Anupamaa.”
The actor also drew a comparison between his character in the show and his real self. As he believed that his character was opposite to what he was in real life. Therefore, it made it a more challenging and fun-filled ride for him. Adding to this he said, “It has been a huge roller coaster ride… But whatttt a ride!!!” 
Briefing his character a little more, he highlighted that his character was a college topper, MBA gold medalist, and the dearest son of the family as he was the firstborn. But then, he turned into a rebel, became dunkard, fled away to get married, became the in-law’s servant, and was selfishly money-oriented.
He also added that, in the show, he was a loving brother and a comedian property dealer. He got bedridden after getting a stroke. Thereafter, he shared that he was emotionally connected to Toshu’s love for his father, which used to bring tears to his eyes instantly. Overall his character was entertaining as he did everything to spice up the show. He added, “It's all so overwhelming.”
The 34-year-old actor further counted on blessings, the people he found on this journey who will remain with him for a lifetime, and the audience. Adding on to this gratitude note, he wrote, “Thank you for hating me soo much that I could feel your love and connect with me always.”
As Aashish announced his exit, it looks like the actor has already bagged his next project. Towards the end of the caption, Aashish promised his fans to return soon in a fictional or non-fictional show. He said, "You guys will see me soon in some other roop or may be the real me."
Fans would be thrilled to see their favorite star in a new character or in a reality show like Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 or Bigg Boss OTT 3.

Glad to get to know and work with you on this fabulous journey called “Anupamaa” TC champ.” Kunwar Amarjeet Singh commented, “Will miss you on the set, I thought that our journey here would be longer together but I know you will do wonders in anything you do in life.
