Anupamaa Completes 5 Glorious Years: Rajan Shahi Thanks Star Plus for Unwavering Support

When Anupamaa premiered on Star Plus in 2020, few could have predicted the emotional storm it would stir in Indian living rooms. Five years later, the show stands not just as a daily soap, but as a movement that redefined what strong storytelling and heartfelt performances can achieve. This week, the show celebrated its grand 5-year milestone, marking a golden chapter in Indian television.

The felicitation event, hosted by Jio Hotstar, saw Sumanta Bose – Head of Entertainment Jiostar and Deepak Chhabria – Business Head, Star Plus honoring the makers for delivering a show that has consistently dominated TRP charts and won audiences across demographics. The evening was as much a tribute to the vision of its creators as it was to the audience who made Anupamaa their own.

At the center of this triumph stand Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi, the powerhouse producers behind Director’s Kut Productions. Known for their conviction and craft, the duo nurtured Anupamaa with a rare blend of passion and discipline. While the show’s story mirrors the resilience of a homemaker rediscovering herself, its off-screen journey reflects the resilience of a team committed to excellence.

Rupali Ganguly, with her soulful portrayal of Anupamaa, continues to remain the show’s heartbeat. Her nuanced performance transformed the character into a symbol of strength and self-respect for millions of viewers, creating an emotional bond that has stood unshaken through half a decade.

Expressing his gratitude, Rajan Shahi said, “This 5-year journey would not have been possible without the unwavering support of Star Plus. From the very beginning, the channel believed in our vision and gave the show unparalleled strength. I dedicate this milestone to Star Plus, the cast, crew, and most importantly the audience who made Anupamaa an emotion that connects across every household. I am grateful to Mr. Sumanta Bose and Deepak Chhabria for their continuous support.”

Rajan Shahi is no stranger to milestones. Often hailed as a trendsetter, he has carved a reputation for altering the landscape of Indian television. His production house, Director’s Kut Productions, is built on the philosophy of “Do your best, your very best and do it every day.” With Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai already standing tall as one of the longest-running shows in Indian television history, Shahi’s 2020 offering Anupamaa further cemented his legacy by consistently ruling the TRP charts across GECs.

What sets him apart is his deep involvement across all stages of production – from pre-production planning to on-set execution and post-production finesse. A true technician and creative soul, he ensures every project reflects both professionalism and artistry. This dedication has made Director’s Kut Productions synonymous with reliability, creativity, and success.

As Anupamaa steps into its sixth year, it is more than just a show—it is an institution. It proves how compelling narratives, backed by a channel that trusts its creators, can not only entertain but also inspire change. In the ever-evolving world of Indian television, Anupamaa stands tall as a timeless reminder that when conviction meets support, history is created.
