It seems that success and popularity can bring new life to any relationship in the industry. And who would know it better than Roopali Ganguly, who is back in the popularity circuit post-Bigg Boss. The latest buzz is that Balaji and Roopali have buried the hatchet and the actress is making a comeback (as Gayatri) in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. Although Roopali is busy with her ad film production company, she will be back on the show within a month. She will first make a special appearance in the special combination episode on Monday, after which she will start shooting regularly for the show. Since Bigg Boss has given a new lease of life to most of its participant's careers and turned them into them household names, Balaji wants to cash in on Roopali's success.

Needless to say, the actress is very excited about her comeback in the biggest production house in the television industry. "Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii is one show that I have enjoyed and I admire most of the actors who have made it one of the longest running shows on small screen. I just shot for the special episode, and I am going to start shooting regularly within a few weeks," says Roopali.

So, are all the issues with Balaji resolved? Roopali says, "Those were all rumours and I always had a healthy professional relationship with Balaji. In fact, when I was busy with my other projects; Balaji did not replace me in the serial. They instead chose to discontinue my character which I think is very nice on their part. I am really thankful to them for calling me back."

Commenting on life post-Bigg Boss, Roopali says, "After staying in the Bigg Boss house for such a long time, any normal person will need a long break. Bigg Boss definitely helped my career. But I guess, Balaji called me because only I can portray Gayatri's character."

Earlier in the Bigg Boss house, Roopali had a big fight with her roommates when they were bitching about Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. "All of them were bitching about me for doing a regressive show like Kahaani... Being a television actor I stood up for my show. It was actually very funny watching people badmouthing television, when in reality, they will stoop to any level to work in a daily show," she says.
