'Monisha beta, read civics': Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly slammed for wishing PM Modi were a 'dictator'

<p>TV actress Rupali Ganguly, known for her popular show Anupamaa, has raised questions about why Indian television is still overlooked at the National Awards. The 71st National Film Awards were announced last week, where Shah Rukh Khan, Virkant Massey, Rani Mukerji, and others were announced as winners. Amid all the buzz around the awards, Ganguly has raised questions about why Indian TV actors do not receive the same level of validation at the national level.</p><h2>Rupali Ganguly demands National Awards for the television industry</h2><p>In a conversation with paparazzi account Viral Bhayani, Ganguly said, "There are National Awards for everyone from film stars to content creators. But there’s nothing for TV artistes. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, others had the advantage of delaying their shooting schedules, but we kept working. When a film star works continuously, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop from 6 am to 6 pm during the pandemic. I request the government to consider us also. We work very hard; it'll be nice to have some validation."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rupali Ganguly is one of the top TV stars of the country, with her show Anupamaa consistently topping the charts every month.&nbsp;</p>

Rupali Ganguly demands National Awards for TV artists: We work very hard, it'll be nice to have some validation

<h2><strong>Casting couch in films</strong></h2>

Maybe some people didn&rsquo;t come across it, but people like me did, and I decided not to make that choice. So, you are considered a failure because you come from a film family.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She added, &ldquo;I did feel small back then, but thanks to Anupamaa, I feel very proud. The show gave me the stature that I always dreamt of. It has been a life-changing experience. My husband and I both believe that whatever Rajan Ji has given me&mdash;the recognition, the platform, the position &mdash; I will never be able to repay it in this lifetime. And Anupamaa is not just a show for me; it&rsquo;s an emotion, it&rsquo;s my home, my second home, all my fur babies are here, and the unit has become like a family.&rdquo;</p>
<p>However, her show has been mired with controversies. From actors quitting to allegations of toxic work environment and her recent legal squabble with stepdaughter, Rupali has seen a lot.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Anupamaa</em> actor Rupali has filed a defamation notice via her lawyer Sana Raees Khan. Her lawyer told HT, “We have issued a defamation notice to her stepdaughter in response to her false and damaging statements as Rupali firmly stands against the use of defamatory tactics for Publicity and she has taken this legal step to protect her reputation from unfounded claims. These baseless allegations were clearly intended to harm Rupali Ganguly’s reputation and capitalize on her public standing. Such actions have not only caused emotional distress but have also unfairly tarnished her personal and professional integrity.”</p>

<p>The legal notice reads, “Our client states that she was shocked to see the posts and comments published by you on various social media platforms including Twitter (now X), Instagram and Facebook. Our client states that it is apposite to put the true and correct facts leading to the issuance of the present notice…”</p>

<p>Esha Verma claims that Rupali Ganguly came in between her father and mother and broke her home. While Sapna and Esha live in New Jersey, Rupali has distanced her from her father Ashwin who has been an absentee father and has emotionally abused both her and her mother.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In response, Esha posted on Instagram saying, “There’s a darker side to this story... All I ask for is compassion as it unfolds.”</p>

<p>Later in an interview, Esha claimed, "Rupali threatened my mother. If I spoke to him on call, she’d scream in the background. She even cornered me when I went to visit him in Mumbai.

<p>The defamation notice goes on to add, “Our client asserts that the derogatory words and abusive language used publicly by you against her are profoundly degrading. These actions have damaged her reputation, violated her dignity, and adversely impacted her career, resulting in substantial financial losses.”</p>

<p>“Our client did not anticipate such a malicious attack from you, as she always treated you well during your visits to India.
