Rupali Ganguly, known for her portrayal of the titular character in Anupamaa, recently faced criticism after being spotted riding pillion on a scooter without a helmet. After attending the Star Parivaar Awards 2024, where she won the Best Patni and Best Bahu awards, Rupali opted for a scooter ride home to save time, with the help of her manager. However, her decision to forgo wearing a helmet sparked backlash on social media.
Several internet users pointed out that Rupali, despite being a well-known public figure and reportedly associated with a political party, was seen violating traffic rules. Many expressed frustration, claiming that celebrities receive preferential treatment. One user sarcastically remarked, “Is the challan for helmet only meant for poor and non-famous people?” Others directly called for action from the Mumbai police, questioning the unequal enforcement of traffic regulations.

Some users criticized her behavior further, with comments like, “Bad role model… I thought Anupamaa was perfect and people wanted to be like her.” The incident has sparked a debate around celebrities’ responsibility to follow laws and set a good example for the public.
While Rupali Ganguly is celebrated for her performance in *Anupamaa*, which has been running since July 2020, this incident has cast a negative light on her off-screen actions, as many expect public figures to adhere to the same rules as ordinary citizens.
