Star Plus show Anupamaa has been fairing extremely well on the BARC charts. The show has always maintained its position in TOP 2 most viewed shows across channel. It is produced by Rajan Shahi’s Directors’ Kut Production. The show has a stellar star cast including Rupali Ganguly, Sudhanshu Pandey, Alpana Buch, Arvind Vaidya, Madalsa Sharma, Paras Kalnawat, Ashish Mehrotra, Nidhi Shah, Anagha Bhosle, Muskaan Bamne among others. 

The current track of the show revolves around Kavya trying hard to create problems and taunt Anupamaa along with Baa and Bapuji.

The recent promo has gotten a great response. It has Kinjal getting manipulated by Kavya and going against Anupamaa. Anu tells Kinjal to make chapatis and that’s when Kavya manipulates Kinjal stating that she is turning out to be the second Anupamaa who’s confined to kitchen. Furthermore, Kinjal is seen disobeying Anupamaa by not cooking rotis. She further puts a firm stand forward for herself.

Have a look at the promo:

Fans went berserk over the promo. They completely adore Kinjal’s character and couldn’t see her being the negative link in the family. A lot of fans reacted stating that Kinjal shouldn’t turn grey or shouldn’t go against Anupamaa. India Forums got in touch with Nidhi Shah who plays the role of Kinjal in the show. In a brief chat she revealed, “I’m pleasantly surprised and shocked seeing the reaction on the promo. It made me realize that fans are really close to Kinjal’s character and love her a lot. However, I would like to state that my character wouldn’t turn entirely negative. Kinjal is a self-made working woman; she is also trying her best to be good at household chores. She has been quite mature and balancing but has always put a strong foot forward when it comes to her opinions about rights and wrongs. She doesn’t shy away in stating bitter truth even if it’s not comforting for others. Kinjal is today’s girl. She is out-spoken but she will never think ill about Anupamaa or other family members”.

When asked about her reaction on learning about her character graph, she said, “When I was told, I was like no, please don’t do this. Kinjal is such a sweetheart. Having said that, I have full faith in the writing department and the producer Rajan Shahi. I’m sure they’ll pan out the character pretty well for the viewers”.

She added, “Honestly, I’m very nervous about the upcoming track. I don’t want people to hate me. They’ve loved Kinjal so much. Even when I read the script today, I was a little nervous about how I’ll be able to carry out this shade of Kinjal’s character”.

Well, we hope people like the track and Nidhi’s performance.

Rajan Shahi is wrong, he is messing with Kinjal's character and I think she would be hated even more than kavya for being dumb enough to be manipulated and turning grey as well. Remember how he ruined Bidaai by turning Alekh's aunt grey? I already think kinjal messed up in two episodes and its too late. She can never be trusted

Too late. Just two episodes in of her “grey” character and I hate Kinjal. If that’s what the writers wanted, mission accomplished!

I just hope that Kinjal doesn't stay grey permanently! Nidhi is playing the character wonderfully

If she turns negative hate will definitely come to her way. They shouldn't have turned her grey.
