MUMBAI: Anupamaa is currently one of the most popular shows. The gripping tale has been entertaining the viewers. Ace actress Rupali Ganguly is seen in the role of the protagonist Anupamaa.
While she has been a part of many successful shows in the past, all that Rupali craved was recognition as a versatile actress. So, she is understandably elated about finally getting her due with the TV show Anupamaa. The family drama marked her return to the small screen seven years after she took a break to embrace motherhood. She said to Times of India, “After I quit Parvarrish due to my pregnancy, I was busy with my home and my child (Rudransh). I enjoyed every moment of it. However, when Rajan Shahi approached me for this show, the actor in me got greedy.”

Further, the actress added, “What further piqued my interest was the fact that the concept of the show was in the zone of my father’s (Anil Ganguly) films, like Kora Kagaz, Humkadam, and Tapasya. The women in these films were strong and empowered, just like Anupamaa. When I spoke to my husband (Ashwin Verma) about it, he told me that I hadn’t got my due as an artist and said, ‘You should take it up and make us proud’. He took a break from his work so that I could get back to acting. In short, he gave me the wings to fly.”
The show with a protagonist in her 40s struck a chord with the audience. Rupali said, “To be 40 plus and not have a 26-inch waist when you’re playing the lead can be challenging at times. I always wondered if it would work. You can’t predict the fate of a show. I still can’t believe it’s happening to me and hope the bubble doesn’t burst.”
