Anupamaa - Chandhini Bhagwanani to REPLACE Muskan Bamne as Pakhi? Here's what we know!

Those who have been following Rupali Ganguly’s daily soap Anupamaa will know that the show has now taken a five-year leap. And the ‘resultant’ of the five-year leap is that, Vanraj Shah (Sudanshu Pandey) has now become a ‘bada aadmi’, Kaavya (Madalsa Sharma) is living in the Shah House while her daughter is in hostel. Dimpy (Nishita Saxena) has become ‘Anupamaa’ of sorts by placing her child Ansh above her own life and happiness. Amid all this, one does feel the missing element of one of the most important actors in Anupamaa - Pakhi (Muskan Bamne)!

Muskan Bamne aka to be replaced?

For those who have been religiously following Anupamaa will surely vouch for the fact that Pakhi has been sorely missing for many episodes now, while there have been closures or some other avenue opening for many other actors and their respective characters. Well… for all the Pakhi fans, here is the update that you all have been waiting for - Muskan Bamne has now quit Anupamaa serial, which she confirmed to Hindustan Times in an interview. She will now be reportedly replaced by Chandhini Bhagwanani, as per a report in Pinkvilla.
