Star Plus’ top-rated daily drama, Anupamaa, starring Rupali Ganguly, is set to surprise viewers with a major twist. Following the sudden death of Prarthana, the show will take a one-year leap, transporting Anupama to Goa to begin a new chapter in her life. The makers have promised a fresh narrative, signaling a complete transformation in the protagonist’s outlook and circumstances.

The leap also brings a significant reshuffle in the cast. The negative character Prerna, originally portrayed by Bhavana Ajwani, will now be played by Nidhi Shetty. Nidhi previously appeared as Jiya in Jab Zodiac Met, produced under Directors Kut Productions, and has been entrusted once again by producer Rajan Shahi.

Since her introduction in December 2025, Prerna has been a disruptive force, creating tension between Prem and Rahi. With the leap, her obsession with Prem is expected to intensify, promising even more drama and conflict.

Fans are now eager to see how Anupama will navigate her new life in Goa, what challenges she will face, and whether the new Prerna will succeed in poisoning Prem and Rahi’s life further. The upcoming storyline is expected to blend suspense, emotion, and unexpected twists, keeping audiences engaged.
