Anupamaa Actor Rupali Ganguly Slams TMC Leader After He Called Her "Flop Soap Actress": "Classic TMC Behaviour"
Anupamaa actor Rupali Ganguly strongly reacted to a Trinamool Congress leader, Nilanjan Das's social media post where he called her a "flop soap actress." The remark was hurled at her after she questioned Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent post about the political affairs in Assam.
What's Happening
Addressing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's concern in Assam, Rupali Ganguly shared a post on X and asked her to concentrate on the affairs of her state first.
"Before shedding crocodile tears for Bengalis in other states, Mamata Didi must answer who will protect Bengalis in West Bengal itself? From Sandeshkhali to Murshidabad, the only atrocities on Bengalis are happening under her watch. Bengal has never been more unsafe for its own people," Rupali wrote on her X.
Isn't your so-called 'senior-most stateswoman' a public servant, or she's a dictator who can't be questioned.
But if you've already accepted her tyranny instead of her duty to the people, then congratulations on embracing dictatorship. Classic TMC behaviour! https://t.co/o5XGloU9yQ

Rupali Ganguly didn't let the comment go unnoticed. "Isn't your so-called 'senior-most stateswoman' a public servant, or she's a dictator who can't be questioned? But if you've already accepted her tyranny instead of her duty to the people, then congratulations on embracing dictatorship. Classic TMC behaviour," she replied.
Rupali Ganguly joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in May 2024 ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. She is vocal about the policies of the Opposition parties.

India, China discuss situation in border areas, express satisfaction with prevalence of peace and tranquility
India and China reviewed the current situation along the India-China border on Wednesday, in what the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) described as an atmosphere of 'peace and tranquillity.' The meeting was part of ongoing efforts to manage border issues between the two countries. "The 34th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC) took place in New Delhi on 23 July 2025," the MEA said in a press release. The two delegations agreed to maintain regular communication on boundary-related matters through established diplomatic and military channels. They also discussed further steps to strengthen 'effective border management' and maintain calm along the Line of Actual Control. These discussions built on the progress made during the previous round of Special Representatives' Talks and the 33rd WMCC meeting. Preparations were also made for the next round of the Special Representatives' Talks, which is scheduled to be held in India later this year. As part of the visit, the leader of the Chinese delegation also met with the Foreign Secretary. In the recent past, India and China have taken several steps to mend their strained relations, which had sharply deteriorated after the deadly clash between their armed forces in June 2020. The face-off effectively ended following the completion of the disengagement process from the last two friction points of Demchok and Depsang, under an agreement finalised on October 21 last year. Meanwhile, in a significant step towards normalising India-China ties since the border standoff, New Delhi resumed the revered Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from June this year. The yatra's resumption after a five-year pause marks a major step in bridging the trust gap that developed following the border standoff in Galwan, where 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives.
