Aashish Mehrotra aka Paritosh talks about the reactions he has been receiving after he stopped Anupamaa from working with Anuj; says, “Fans have been abusing me”

Star Plus show ‘Anupamaa’ is an absolute favorite of the audience which is also evident from the position it enjoys on the TRP charts. The show recently witnessed a new entry that will bring a big twist to Anupamaa’s life. Actor Gaurav Khanna has been roped in to essay the role of Anuj Kapadia. Anuj loved Anupamaa during his college days but never had the courage to express his feelings for her. The character of Anuj has not been able to move on in his life and is still single.

Anuj has offered a partnership to Anupamaa which has not gone well with some of the family members. While the other family members are pleased to see Anupamaa’s growth Paritosh is trying to stop her mother from having a friend. He is evidently irked with Anuj and has decided to not let Anupamaa work with him.

In a recent interview, Aashish talked about the reactions he has been receiving and shared, “People are abusing me (laughs). People who’ve known me for who I’m, who’ followed me throughout are also upset with Paritosh. They’ve stated that I shouldn’t create obstacles for Anupamaa-Anuj and should not misbehave with Anupamaa. Some have also suggested me to speak to the makers and change my character so that Paritosh has a more positive approach. I enjoy the negative comments as well because it just makes me believe that I’m doing justice with my character”

Talking about his views on a woman finding love at 40s, he said, “Contrary to my onscreen character, I personally feel there shouldn’t be a problem for a woman giving love another chance at 40 because I feel love comes in people’s life irrespective of their age and situations. It’s no harm in it and one shouldn’t think about the societal pressures when it comes to accepting love”.
