Anupamaa actor Rupali Ganguly, who is the daughter of the famous filmmaker Anil Ganguly, has opened up about how people felt sorry for her and looked down upon her when she starred in television shows. Rupali revealed that she took any work that came to her because she had to run the home and pay her father’s hospital bills.
In an interview with CNBC, Rupali said, “Television was again, struggling days. I had to run the home, so whatever work came along, I took it. It was looked down upon, especially in the Bengali community. So, you’re kind of an outcast. People would feel sorry for me because I was doing television, and I didn’t care because at that time, we needed to run the house”
She continued, “I’ve never had ambitions. I’ve never had dreams. My thing was I didn’t want my father to be in a municipal hospital. I wanted him to be in a good hospital like Leelavati. For that, it was imperative that I work. I think me, even my brother, there’s so much respect for whatever little we get that we want to make the maximum out of it. I would do anything for my Papa; he is my inspiration, he is my god, and he still is, of course.”
Rupali expressed gratitude towards her father for not assisting her with contacts during her struggling days. The actor believes that she is where she is today because she started from scratch.
The actor added, “And in that short time that you get in television, you perform an excellent scene where people call you up and where, you know, it’s like portals are writing about it, ‘What a performance! What a performance’. That is my achievement. That is my win. It is not an easy industry.”
