Rupali Ganguly - I feel very very proud that I am a part of a show which raises these issues

Star Plus’ Anupamaa revolves around Anupamaa who is a strong, independent and ambitious woman, whose goals align towards raising her family. Time and again she has risen above the odds and taught several Indian female viewers the value of taking a stand for herself and living life on her terms. Now in the latest episode, Anupamaa goes all way out to save a rape victim and gives shelter to her. While she and her family are receiving threats from the perpetrators, Anupamaa being the woman of strength does not fall short of resilience and welcomes the victim with open arms.

Taking about the same, Rupali Ganguly says "I feel very very proud that I am a part of a show which raises the issues about which people cringe to talk about. People want to kind of put topics under the rug and forget about. I am glad that we are raising issues that are needed to be brought forth. My producer is very gutsy to pick a subject like this. I am proud of the fact that Star Plus supported this and helped shed light on this topic. The entire point was to bring people out of their comfort zone and say ‘Hey, this happened. And what better to say than to say it through Anupamaa?”

She further added “The idea behind bringing this topic was such things have been happening since years but still talking about such things has been considered a taboo with our current plot we want people to be comfortable to talk about such things”.

The idea behind this latest development in the Anupamaa’s storyline was to encourage people  to speak up about such abuse. The makers have come ahead with the campaign tagline of #BaatKaro and #BaatKarneDo will make it easier for Indian families to find a space to talk about these issues.
