Why Rupali Ganguly Considers Rajan Shahi More Than Just a Friend

Mumbai, Dec 3 (NationPress) Rupali Ganguly, famed for her role in 'Anupamaa', recently expressed her birthday wishes to director Rajan Shahi via social media.
In her touching message, she clarified that she could never label Rajan as her 'friend' because in true friendship, boundaries often become unclear, and the admiration she has for him is profound. On Tuesday, Ganguly shared a collection of photos with Rajan alongside a heartfelt message.
The actress articulated, “From being my director to my producer to becoming an incredibly significant part of my life, the journey has unfolded over 24 years, especially since you introduced Anupamaa into my life four years ago. From nearing a career lull to being granted this tremendous platform and recognition…”
Rupali continued, “From my taking 10 steps back to you propelling me forward by 20 steps… from your constant life lessons to nurturing me like a child… revealing my inner strength… empowering me to stand tall… to your unwavering belief that regardless of the circumstances, YOU always have my back… I have so much gratitude for you. Anupamaa has transcended being just a show; for me, it embodies an emotion named Rajan Shahi.”
“I could never refer to you as my friend because in friendship, lines tend to blur, and the esteem I hold for you is immense. So here’s extending birthday wishes to my mentor, the master storyteller. Wishing you health, happiness, and peace always. Stay blessed forever,” she concluded her message.
Rupali portrays the lead character in Rajan’s acclaimed daily soap 'Anupamaa', which premiered on July 13, 2020, on Star Plus. The show has consistently topped TRP charts since its debut on Indian television. Produced by Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi under the banner of Director's Kut Productions, it is a remake of the Bengali series “Sreemoyee.”
