Rupali on living Anupamaa’s dream

For Rupali, the hit show is not just a role, it’s an emotional journey built on faith, hard work, and unwavering support.

Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi’s hit drama Anupamaa, starring Rupali Ganguly in the titular role, has become one of Indian television’s most iconic shows. But for Rupali, it’s more than a professional milestone—it’s a deeply personal journey filled with emotion, purpose, and gratitude. “This dream wasn’t originally mine,” Rupali shares. “I never imagined myself becoming a big actor or star. I just wanted to stand on stage like the people I admired, but I didn’t realize how much hard work it takes to get there.”

She recalls a touching moment with producer Rajan Shahi, who had a clear vision for her from the very beginning. “When I signed the contract for Anupamaa, Rajan ji told me, ‘Rupali, I want you to win every award there is.’ That kind of belief pushes you to give your all.”
