One of the most popular television shows, Anupamaa is topping the TRP charts. And the most iconic characters are played by Rupali Ganguly, Sudhanshu Pandey, Gaurav Khanna, and many more. However, as per reports there is a cold war going on between Rupali and her on-screen ex-hubby, Sudhanshu. According to the whispers from the sets of the show, Sudhanshu had shared a promo of the show on his social media handle and hadn't tagged Rupali for the same reason. However, squashing all rumours, Rupali had also invited Sudhanshu on her birthday, and many pictures from the same also got viral on social media. Further, addressing the same thing in an interview with TOI, Sudhanshu had said:
"Generally, the practice is to tag people who are associated with the picture and mostly I copy-paste the link I get from someone on my social media. When the show started, Rupali and I posted many videos together because we were married in the show. Now, I am married to Kavya (Madalsa Sharma), so obviously, to promote the track, we will post videos together.
In the same conversation, Sudhanshu further added that he and Rupali are good friends off-screen too. And mentioning the difference of opinion which keep on occurring between two professionals in every workplace, Sudhanshu had added:
Rupali and I are good co-actors and friends, too. There is nothing wrong between us. And a difference of opinion between two actors at times is very normal and can happen any day. There are so many times when you don’t agree on something and get a little upset, but then it is over. And that happens not only with actors working on the sets, it also happens between two individuals at home. Rift or cold war are too strong words to use."

In an interview with TOI in 2019, Karan had talked about the same issues and mentioned that the duo were never friends from the beginning itself. He had said:
"I might or might not have a rapport with a person, that’s subjective. Hina and I were never friends to begin with. We had an extremely professional relationship, which worked for the show."

"Everybody knows that Paridhi and Rajat can’t see eye to eye. They throw their weight around whenever they have to shoot intimate scenes. Paridhi was a little uncomfortable (about the kissing scene) but the director got her to do it all. She wasn’t ready for it. She even expressed reservations about doing a ‘kissing-away-tears’ scene some time back. This time around when she told the production team that her family wouldn't be okay with it, the producer told her that she had mentioned no such reservations while signing on the show."

Niti Taylor and Parth Samthaan were popular pair of the serial, Kaisi Yeh Yaariyaan. However, the two also had major issues in real life. In an interview with TOI, Niti also addressed the same and had said:
"I didn't stall the shoot, somebody else did, and I don't intend to reveal that person's name. There were two units on the said day and one of them was scheduled to shoot me first. Yes, I was upset because I too needed a make-up guy, but everything is fine between my co-actors and me."

However, their equation changed after Kanwar Dhillon entered the show. Admitting the trouble between them in an interview with the leading media house, Shivin had said:

Reportedly, it started when Donal was taking her time to execute a scene, and Shashank had cracked a joke. Addressing the same in an interview with Bombay Times, he had said:
"Creative differences and arguments are part of every professional sphere, so I am not surprised that it happened here, too. In fact, when I was shooting Balika Vadhu with (late) Pratyusha Banerjee, we used to have creative differences and arguments everyday, but that does not mean that it has to be blown out of proportion and make me look like some villain."
To this, Donal had added:
"We are not here to make friends, we are here to progress in our work and that is more important than anything else. So, it doesn’t matter if Shashank and I are not friends. I don’t think any differences or issues will affect our chemistry or work in the future, too."
