Rupali Ganguly Praises Shah Rukh Khan for Bringing a Positive Change in Bollywood
Popular TV actress Rupali Ganguly, best known for her role as Anupamaa in Rajan Shahi’s hit show, recently shared her thoughts on the changes in Bollywood. In a recent interview with Zoom, Rupali credited superstar Shah Rukh Khan for a positive shift in the industry, especially in how female actors are given recognition.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Big Change in Bollywood
Rupali pointed out that Shah Rukh Khan was among the first actors to give credit to his female co-stars before his own name in film titles. She called this a “very good thing” and a major shift in an industry that has historically been dominated by male leads. She recalled that in the past, movies were mostly hero-centric, but her father, Anil Ganguly, was one of the few filmmakers who made strong women-oriented films like Kora Kagaz and Tapasya, starring veteran actress Rakhee.
Why Rupali Left Bollywood
Before making her mark in television, Rupali had acted in several films. However, she eventually left the industry due to the casting couch and gender disparity. She revealed that back in the day, women didn’t openly talk about these issues, unlike today when people are more aware. Rupali admitted that this was one of the main reasons she chose to step away from films.
Television: A Safe and Respectful Industry
Rupali strongly praised the television industry for treating women with respect. She stated that TV is a much cleaner space compared to Bollywood. She also highlighted how auditions are mandatory for everyone, regardless of past success, ensuring that talent is the only factor that matters. “Television has always been a blessing for women,” she said, adding that women are treated like queens in the industry.
