Rupali Ganguly reveals her husband took a break from work to support her return to acting with Anupamaa

Rupali Ganguly is the reigning queen of television now with her show Anupamaa consistently topping TRP charts and her show is garnering positive reviews since it kicked off last year. The actress was a well known face on TV even before Anupamaa happened but the success she saw with this show is quite something.

The actress took a break from TV shows after getting married and embracing motherhood. The show Anupamaa was her calling to return to TV and Rupali reveals that to support her decision her husband Ashwin Verma took a break in his career and encouraged her to take up the show.

Rupali tells ETimes, “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. When I spoke to my husband (Ashwin Verma) about it, he told me that I hadn’t got my due as an artiste 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.”

Anupamaa is the story a self sacrificing homemaker who feels unappreciated in her role as a mother, wife and daughter-in-law and decides to be responsible for her own happiness and life.

The show has been hailed for its progressive story telling.
