In a recent interview with CNBC, actress Rupali Ganguly opened up on how, despite having a flourishing career in television, she was looked down upon and not so subtly judged for being a small-screen actress. She also revealed that though the biased attitude stung, she did not have much scope to ponder on it, as she was the sole breadwinner of her family. “Television was again, struggling days. I had to run the home, so whatever work came along, I took it. It was looked down upon, especially in the Bengali community. So, you’re kind of an outcast. People would feel sorry for me because I was doing television, and I didn’t care because, at that time, we needed to run the house” The ‘Anupamaa’ star revealed that she never had any overarching ambition, or any burning desire to be the #1 star. Looking after her sick father and financial stability was her sole priority for a long while. “ I’ve never had ambitions. I’ve never had dreams. My thing was I didn’t want my father to be in a municipal hospital. I wanted him to be in a good hospital like Leelavati. For that, it was imperative that I work. I think, even my brother, there’s so much respect for whatever little we get that we want to make the maximum out of it. I would do anything for my Papa; he is my inspiration, he is my god, and he still is, of course,” she said.
