Bringing one of television’s beloved characters closer to fans, Disney+ Hotstar is set to release a prequel of the popular running television series, Anupamaa. Celebrating the spirit and resilience of women, the new series, Hotstar Specials presents Anupama – Namaste America, will offer viewers a closer look at Anupamaa’s life, a few years into her marriage. 

However, it was recently revealed that Gaurav Khanna's Anuj Kapadia will be a part of the prequel in bits and pieces. When India Forums asked him about being a part of the show and what does he feel about it, his response was as humble as he is, with only nice things to say about the concept and the makers.

Talking to India Forums about the prequel, Anupama - Namaste America, about the revelation of him being a part of the show, and how he feels about it, he said,

''It is a new thing, I think Rajan sir would be a better person to answer that. It is just a couple of days away but I would still say that it is his call to get Anuj there. I think this is a new thing and this might be the first time that a running show is getting a new series and simultaneously, the whole telecast is happening. We are all trying something and it is an experiment and if it works (hopefully it does), and then there will be more seasons and more stories to say. It is a brainchild of the Star Network and Rajan, together, so they come out with new things. And, I am just an actor, whatever the producers say, I do it, so we are too small a piece in the whole game to decide, on the contrary to what people think about films and television working in the same way.''

The prequel will stream from April 25.
