Sooraj Barjatya Supports Rupali Ganguly's Call for National Award: 'TV Demands Immense…'
Last Updated: Rupali Ganguly, famous for Anupamaa, urged National Awards for TV actors. Her call, supported by director Sooraj Barjatya, emphasised TV actors' hard work. Rupali Ganguly, one of Indian television's most celebrated stars, has become a household name thanks to her acting and screen presence. While she has been part of several acclaimed shows over the years, it is her iconic role as Anupamaa that has elevated her to a household name. Her portrayal has struck a chord with audiences, earning her an ardent fan base not only in India but across the globe. Recently, Rupali Ganguly sparked an important discussion when she voiced her opinion that television actors deserve recognition at the National Awards as well. Her statement has been widely supported, and now acclaimed Hum Saath Saath Hain director Sooraj Barjatya has also echoed her thoughts. When asked about Rupali Ganguly's remarks on TV actors being honoured at the National Awards, Sooraj Barjatya said, 'I absolutely believe they should. TV is an art form, and it demands immense hard work. If you visit a TV set, you'll see – it's minimum 12–14 hours of continuous work. In films, actors still get breathers, but in TV, actors must continuously live their roles, directors must constantly shoot under restrictions, yet create something touching. If I were asked to direct one episode, I'd take a week! So yes, National Awards should definitely include television actors." What did Rupali Ganguly say about National Awards for TV artists? Earlier this month, Rupali Ganguly voiced her opinion on National Awards and said that TV actors, too, deserve to be felicitated. In a conversation on Viral Bhayani's pap account, Ganguly said, 'There are National Awards for everyone from film stars to content creators. But there's nothing for TV artistes. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, others had the advantage of delaying their shooting schedules, but we kept working. When a film star works continuously, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop from 6 am to 6 pm during the pandemic. I request the government to consider us also. We work very hard; it'll be nice to have some validation." Meanwhile, Rupali continues to shine in Anupamaa, a show that has consistently topped the TRP charts. With her powerful performances and emotional depth, she has remained the soul of the series week after week.
