Expressing the same, Ganguly told IANS, “This dream wasn’t originally mine. I never imagined myself becoming a big actor or star. I just wanted to stand on stage like the people I admired, but I didn’t realize the hard work that goes into it.”
Rupali also recalled a heartfelt moment with producer Rajan Shahi, highlighting how he had unwavering faith in her right from the beginning. “When I signed the contract for Anupamaa, Rajan ji told me, ‘Rupali, I want you to win every award there is.’
That kind of faith pushes you to give your all.” Talking about balancing her professional and personal life, the actress credited her husband, Ashwin, for being her unwavering pillar of support. She revealed that despite the hectic demands of her schedule, she finds comfort knowing that her child is in caring hands.
Ganguly also admitted that while she often misses her little one, Ashwin is always there both for their child and for her making it all a little easier to manage. “Yes, I miss my child. But Ashwin is there for him and for me, always.”
