Anupamaa actor Rupali Ganguly recently opened up about facing body-shaming for the first time. The actor revealed that she gained weight after the birth of her son, Rudransh. In an interview, Rupali recalled weighing 83 kg at one point and shared that she eventually stopped looking in the mirror when her waist size increased from 24 to 40 inches.
During a conversation with Telly Talk India, Rupali revealed that people called her “very fat”, and it affected her. “After Rudransh, I was 83 kilo aur main mirror nahi dekhti thi. Kahin log ne bola, ‘Tu toh itni moti ho gayi.’ Random cheezein jo kahin jati woh aapko chu jati hai, especially being a woman (After Rudransh’s birth, I weighed 83 kg, and I wouldn’t look in the mirror. Some people even said, ‘You have become very fat.’ Random comments that you hear can really affect you, especially as a woman),” she said.
Speaking about the changes in her body after her son’s birth, the actor continued, “Mere himmat nahi hoti thi aayne ke samne aane ki and Ashwin was always very kind. Kind kya, he loved me. When you love somebody, you don’t see the body or anything, but I used to feel different. 24 se aapki waist jab 40 ki ho jaati hai ajeeb sa lagta hai (I didn’t have the courage to look at myself in the mirror, but Ashwin was always very kind. Not just kind, he loved me. When you truly love someone, you don’t look at their body. But I felt different. When your waist goes from 24 to 40 inches, it feels strange).”
Rupali Ganguly tied the knot with Ashwin Verma in February 2013. They were blessed with their son Rudransh in August, the same year. Ashwin also has two daughters from his previous marriage.
