Narendra Gupta was a part of the show since its inception in 1998.
As the character is now shown being sentenced to life imprisonment, it looks like Dr Salunkhe's time in the show has now come to an end. However, the makers are yet to comment on the same.
The show also features celebs like Dayanand Shetty, Aditya Srivastava, Shraddha Musale and Janvi Chheda in the leads.

Sandhya Theatre stampede: Stopping Allu Arjun at ‘Pushpa 2' event could've triggered chaos, police tell NHRC; say despite warnings actor conducted roadshow
HYDERABAD: Nearly six months after a deadly stampede at Sandhya theatre claimed the life of a woman during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule, Hyderabad police have told the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) that they did not stop actor Allu Arjun and the film's crew from entering the venue-despite not granting permission-because doing so could have triggered mass public disorder. The justification was made in a written report by assistant commissioner of police (Chikkadpally division) L Ramesh, submitted last month and reviewed by the NHRC on Monday. The commission is currently hearing a plea filed by high court advocate Rama Rao Immaneni, who alleged police negligence in the stampede incident that killed Revathi and seriously injured her son Sri Tej.

"Any attempt to take action would have risked escalating crowd into a mob, potentially leading to damage of public property and further breach of public order," he said. The NHRC earlier raised pointed questions after an initial report submitted by Hyderabad police in April. Among them: Why was the actor or the film's management allowed to gather despite having no permission? Why wasn't action taken beforehand to prevent the unlawful gathering? In a follow-up report filed in June, the ACP replied: "It is to submit that, practically, it is not possible to take legal action against accused actor/management at the very first occurrence as there is a crowd surge, and the priority for the police was to control the crowd and prevent loss of life or damage to the property." The NHRC had sought to know whether police foresaw the risk of injury or disorder when denying permission, and whether they warned the public, the management, and the actor in advance. Police responded that the permission was denied based on a clear risk assessment, citing public safety and crowd control concerns. They again blamed Allu Arjun and his team for triggering the chaos. "The actor, after reaching theatre, conducted a roadshow by standing on his car's sunroof and waving to the public, prompting the crowd to surge towards his vehicle," police said. "This was done despite several warnings given by the cops. Despite knowing about incident, the actor, while retreating, again appeared through the sunroof making gestures. He was immediately asked by the cops to get back inside the vehicle," police said. However, no chargesheet has yet been filed by the Chikkadpally police. Advocate Rama Rao said, "The commission found that the investigation officer has not furnished details about the progress made in probe. So, the IO has to file another report and commission will take up this case after two weeks." Though 10 persons, including Allu Arjun, were arrested, further legal action is awaited.
