One of "New Amsterdam‘s" docs is hanging up his white coat: Anupam Kher, who played Dr. Vijay Kapoor, will not return to the NBC medical drama, TVLine has confirmed.

In the April 13 episode, Dr. Iggy Frome found out that his colleague Dr. Kapoor had resigned from the hospital after a battle with COVID, open-heart surgery and then a difficult rehab process that left him unable to resume his job.

Anupam Kher shared a statement on social media Tuesday addressing his exit from the NBC medical drama:

“This past year has been difficult for so many people around the world, not least for Dr. Kapoor. It was an incredibly special time for me to be part of this show and one I will never forget. The New Amsterdam Family will always hold a special place in my heart.

I am grateful to the audience for their love, support and good wishes, particularly for my wife, Kirron, at this time. I hope you all will continue to join me on my journey and future projects.”

Omg! This is sad, he's one of my favorite character =( I just started watching this in Netflix a month ago together with Vicenzo and Alice. I didn't yet finished it though because there's a lot in my plate.

I liked his character, too. I read that his wife is sick w/ blood cancer.

I hope the character that will replace him would be also catchy like him. I 'm still stuck in episode 4 I guess..
