'We Lost Everything': Rupali Ganguly Breaks Down Recalling Struggling Days And Late Father's Dream To Buy House In Mumbai At FICCI Frames 2026 - VIDEO

At the FICCI Frames 2026 event in Mumbai, actress Rupali Ganguly broke down while reminiscing about her late father, filmmaker Anil Ganguly, and his dream of owning a house in Mumbai. The actress shared the financial hardships her family faced during their early days, revealing that her father often had to make tough decisions to pursue his filmmaking career.

In those times, many filmmakers outside the corporate world resorted to selling their homes to fund their projects. Rupali's family ultimately lost everything, but her father's unwavering dream of owning a home in Mumbai persisted.

Emotionally, Rupali Ganguly recalled her father's singular desire to build a house in Mumbai, which became her personal mission. The actress, acknowledging the nepotism tag often associated with her, emphasized that fulfilling her father's dream was her own personal goal. She proudly announced, "Anupamaa hua and Maine apna pehla ghar khareeda" (Anupamaa happened and I bought my first home).

This milestone marked a significant turning point in Rupali's career, propelled by the immense success of her popular television show Anupamaa. Rajan Shahi, the producer of Anupamaa, also attended the event and shared a glimpse into Rupali's early struggles in the industry. He recounted that Rupali had to audition multiple times before securing a role in their first show together, even walking the entire distance from Worli due to financial constraints.

Shahi's admiration for Rupali's determination was evident as he expressed his pride in her perseverance.
