MUMBAI: In a dramatic turn of events that has stirred both political and entertainment circles, acclaimed television actress Rupali Ganguly has strongly condemned Pakistani actor Fawad Khan for his remarks against India’s recent cross-border strike.
The bold statement from Ganguly has added to a growing wave of Indian television personalities standing in support of the country’s actions and hitting back at criticism from across the border.
Two days ago, India carried out precision strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan as a direct response to the heinous Pahalgam attack in Kashmir.

The operation was widely celebrated across India, while many in Pakistan reacted with grief and outrage. Amid the political fallout, several Pakistani celebrities expressed their disapproval, branding India’s move as “shameful.”
One such figure was Fawad Khan, a well-known Pakistani actor who once enjoyed considerable popularity within the Indian film industry. His statement sparked widespread criticism, prompting a sharp and unapologetic response from Rupali Ganguly.
Ganguly, who continues to win hearts as the titular character in the hit Star Plus series Anupamaa, didn’t hold back. In a powerful rebuttal, she stated, “You working in Indian films was also ‘shameful’ for us,” directly addressing Khan’s comments.
Her words have resonated across social media, garnering applause from fans and colleagues alike for taking a firm nationalistic stand.
As one of the highest-paid and most respected actors on Indian television today, Ganguly’s opinion carries significant weight. Her portrayal of Anupamaa, a character marked by resilience, dignity, and emotional depth has made her a household name and cemented her status as a cultural icon.
Ganguly is not alone in her sentiments. Several leading Indian television actresses have also come forward to voice their displeasure with Pakistani celebrities who condemned India’s military response.
The backlash has ignited a renewed sense of patriotism within the Indian entertainment community, with many stars using their platforms to back the country’s armed forces and assert national pride.
Off-screen, Rupali Ganguly maintains an impressive social media presence, particularly on Instagram, where she shares candid glimpses of her life, behind-the-scenes moments from Anupamaa, and cheerful reels that highlight her charisma and wit.
Her recent comments, however, show that she’s not just a performer—but a passionate voice unafraid to speak up when national integrity is questioned.
As tensions remain high, the exchange between Ganguly and Khan underscores the broader divide between the two nations, not just politically but within the realm of entertainment and public discourse.
For now, Rupali Ganguly stands as a symbol of strength, echoing the sentiments of millions who refuse to remain silent in the face of criticism.
