The talented actress Rupali Ganguly, popular for her title role in the popular TV serial Anupamaa, talks about her past sufferings in the Bollywood industry and how the series has changed her life. She recently spoke with the media, explaining why she did not have a career in the film industry, and how deeply she feels attached to the popular television series.
Rupali believed that she took the decision of quitting the films because she felt that casting couch prevailed during the time of her existence. Rupali said, I could not succeed in films and it was my decision because facing a casting couch was very common in the film industry at that time. Some people did not realize it, but people like me had to face it. Due to this, I was considered a failure, because I am from a film family.”
This choice to avoid Bollywood, while deliberate, led to her being labeled a failure in the film industry, despite her familial connections to it.
Rupali expressed immense gratitude for her role in ‘Anupamaa,’ a show that has become one of Indian television’s most successful series, consistently topping TRP charts. Reflecting on the impact of the show, she said,
I was feeling very small at that time, but today I am feeling proud because of ‘Anupamaa.’ This show gave me the status which I was always dreaming about. ”
She further added that this opportunity has come in her life because of the show’s producer, Rajan Shahi. She added, “For me, ‘Anupamaa’ feels like a second home. Anupamaa’ is not just a show for me, it is a feeling, it is my second home. Does anyone leave their family, their home? And God forbid, this should never happen.”
Denying Quitting Rumors There has been some talk recently that Rupali may leave ‘Anupamaa.’ The actress promptly dismissed these reports, terming them as utterly false. She said, Wow, how wonderful the imagination of people is! Thank you, however, who were discussing about me and the show. I will stay there till this show ends. Not going anywhere leaving it”
With ‘Anupamaa’, Rupali has not only reclaimed her place in the industry but also become a household name, admired for her nuanced performance and emotional depth. Her story of perseverance and gratitude serves as an inspiration to many, highlighting how she turned challenges into opportunities and found her true calling on the small screen.
