Rupali Ganguly has recently shared her experiences with the casting couch in the film industry, shedding light on a difficult chapter in her career. In an interview, the Anupamaa actress revealed that her decision to step away from Bollywood was intentional, even though it led to her being labeled a “failure” in the film world.
Reflecting on her past, Rupali explained that the casting couch was a prevalent issue in the industry at the time. While some may not have encountered it, she did, and her decision to avoid compromising her principles shaped her career path. She acknowledged that coming from a film family added to the pressure, as her choice not to conform to certain expectations led to her being considered unsuccessful in films.
Despite these challenges, Rupali Ganguly expressed deep gratitude for the opportunities television has brought her, particularly through the show Anupamaa. She credited producer Rajan Shahi and the show for transforming her life, admitting that while her struggles once made her feel insignificant, Anupamaa gave her the recognition and stature she had always aspired to achieve. She described the experience as life-changing and a source of immense pride.
Today, Anupamaa is one of the most popular television shows, consistently dominating TRP charts. However, rumors recently surfaced suggesting that Rupali might be leaving the show. Addressing these claims, the actress dismissed them as baseless, reaffirming her commitment to the series.
