Viraj Kapoor opens up on Romil's absence during Samar's death track, and his character transformation

Anupamaa, a popular Hindi soap opera on Star Plus, has captured the hearts of millions with its compelling storyline and characters. Among them, Romil, portrayed by Viraj Kapoor, stands out as a character known for his initially insolent behavior, which later transforms into heartwarming bonds within the show. In an exclusive interview with India Forums, Viraj Kapoor discusses Romil's character development, his interactions with Malti Devi, and the reasons behind his absence during Samar's death storyline.

How do you feel about your character's transition from being stubborn to kind of bonding with everyone, especially Pakhi?

I'm enjoying the character development of Romil. It's intriguing to experience his evolving traits, and I have fun playing various character aspects. Romil's initial stubbornness was interesting, and now I get to explore his different facets. As for the future, I'm not sure if there will be further character development, but Romil's bond with Pakhi has grown, and she was the first one he connected with.

Is there any particular reason for your break amidst Samar's death track?

There wasn't a specific reason for my break. My character, Romil, was primarily associated with the Kapadia house, not the Shah house. When Samar passed away tragically, it made sense that Romil wasn't involved in that family's storyline, especially since Romil's father (Ankush) wasn't present either. It was necessary for characters closely related to Samar to be on that track, which is why my absence occurred.

We saw a little bit of an argument between Romil and Malti Devi. Can we expect Romil's bonding with her as well?

I don't know about Romil's bonding with Malti Devi Ji, but there is definitely an argument between them that viewers can expect to witness in the upcoming episodes. So, as for the potential bonding between them, I don't have any specific knowledge or insight. If they do form a bond, that would be great. However, even if they don't, it could lead to interesting scenes where Malti Devi makes taunts and Romil responds, making it an enjoyable experience.
