Viewers Disheartened by Anupamaa's Delayed Reunion with Anuj

- The incident leads to unexpected consequences for Anu in the show.
The popular television show "Anupamaa" is facing declining viewer engagement as fans grow increasingly frustrated with the prolonged separation of the titular character, Anupamaa, and her love interest, Anuj. Following a six-month leap in the storyline, the narrative has shifted back to Ahmedabad, where Anupamaa, now with a broken leg, operates an ashram. Meanwhile, Anuj is grappling with mental trauma after the loss of his daughter, Aadhya, and remains unaware of Anupamaa's struggles. In a recent episode, Anupamaa, portrayed by Rupali Ganguly, was seen driving an auto rickshaw to assist an ailing driver named Sagar. This scene, which was highlighted as a spoiler by The Free Press Journal, has sparked discussions about the legality of driving an auto without the proper license. Viewers are cautioned that a standard light motor vehicle (LMV) license does not authorize one to operate an auto rickshaw, and doing so could result in fines. Despite the bizarre nature of the scene, Rupali's performance in driving the auto has received some praise. However, the show's ratings have plummeted from 3.2-3.3 to 2.5-2.6, indicating a significant drop in audience interest, which many attribute to the show's content. Critics argue that while "Anupamaa" claims to empower women, it often presents regressive themes, raising questions about its overall message. As viewers await a resolution to the central romance, they are reminded to verify their driving licenses before attempting any similar actions.
