Television star Rupali Ganguly is set to bring an important and often overlooked issue into the spotlight through an upcoming episode of the hit show Anupamaa.
Known for addressing socially relevant themes, the show will soon explore a powerful narrative centered around abuse against men — a subject rarely discussed openly in mainstream storytelling.
The upcoming track aims to highlight how many men continue to suffer in silence due to societal expectations that pressure them to “man up” instead of speaking out about emotional or domestic abuse. Through a specially crafted sequence, the show intends to spark conversation and encourage dialogue about a reality that often remains hidden.
Sharing her thoughts on the storyline, Rupali emphasized the importance of acknowledging that suffering is not limited to one gender.
“The makers of Anupamaa are bringing this to light and using the character as a voice against atrocities faced by men,” she said. “While violence against women is a serious and undeniable issue, men too can be victims — and many endure their pain quietly because society rarely gives them space to speak.”
She also praised producers Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi for choosing to address sensitive themes that are often considered taboo.
According to Rupali, the show has consistently used its platform to raise awareness about social issues — from supporting farmers and promoting kindness toward animals to encouraging compassion and responsible behavior in everyday life.
“This is another step in that journey,” she noted, adding that the narrative aims to shed light on husband abuse and domestic violence where men are the victims — a perspective that is seldom explored.
Through this storyline, Anupamaa continues its tradition of reflecting real-life challenges and encouraging empathy within families and communities.
For Rupali, being the voice of such narratives remains deeply meaningful.
She expressed pride in being part of a show that strives not just to entertain, but also to empower — whether it is parents, women, children, or now, men who may be struggling in silence.
With this upcoming episode, Anupamaa once again demonstrates its commitment to initiating conversations that society often avoids — reminding viewers that awareness begins with acknowledgment.
