Manish Goel on Raghav not recieving closure in Anupamaa, Rupali Ganguly not leaving farewell message

In this heartfelt and powerful interview with India Forums, actor Manish opens up like never before about his unforgettable journey as Raghav in the blockbuster show Anupamaa. From being rejected in auditions—including never having auditioned for Ekta Kapoor—to bagging a life-changing role on Maha Shivratri, Manish shares every twist of fate that led him to this comeback.

He discusses:

The behind-the-scenes casting process, his transformation, and the conviction Rajan Shahi had in him without even needing an audition.

How he embraced the challenge of entering the show post a 4-year hiatus and handled the initial backlash and comparisons with Gaurav Khanna (Anuj).

His take on Raghav’s abrupt exit, the missing closure, and the emotional weight of playing a layered, complex character.

Clarifying rumors of friction with Rupali Ganguly, the absence of a farewell post from her, and what their off-screen equation really looks like.

Why audience love post-exit meant more than any applause during the role—and how it validated everything he gave to the character.

Manish also takes us through the emotional toll of intense scenes, the personal journey that ran parallel to the onscreen story, and his philosophy on rejections, acceptance, and second chances.

This is not just an interview—it’s a raw, inspiring story of resilience, faith, and passion for the craft.
