Moreover, she said, “While some may not have encountered it, people like me did, and I decided not to take that route. As a result, I was considered a failure, especially because I come from a film family.”

Reflecting on her career now, she said, “I did feel small back then, but thanks to Anupamaa, I am incredibly proud. The show gave me the recognition I always dreamed of. It’s been life-changing. My husband and I both believe that whatever Rajan Ji has given me, I can never repay in this lifetime.”

She went on to say, “Anupamaa is more than just a show for me; it’s an emotion, it’s my home, my second home, and all my fur babies are here. The unit has become like family.” Notably, before Anupamaa, Rupali had been part of notable shows like Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai and Sanjeevani.
