"My journey in television began 22 years back. “Dil hai ki Maanta Nahi” aired on September 5th 2000. Walked from worli to andheri for the audition which I goofed up… after hearing the role, I then pleaded with this first time director with a maha attitude @rajan.shahi.543 to please give me a second chance… after much pleading he gave in … I doubt he had any hopes from me so after a disinterested look on his face for my first scene, to probably thinking I could have potential and giving me another scene to variate and then another and another…auditioned for about 9 scenes till he was convinced to cast me."

Earlier, in a candid conversation with News18, Rupali Ganguly had revealed how she successfully could return to television when her son, Rudransh was a munchkin and needed utmost care. She lauded her hubby, Ashwin for being the pillar of strength and always supporting her as a doting hubby. However, Rupali mentioned that her hubby wanted at least one parent to be around Rudransh during his growing-up days. Rupali could be quoted as saying:
“I am blessed that I have a husband who is so supportive. He has taken early retirement and moved from America. He said our child needs one parent. I never left my child with the house help. I didn’t. Not that they are bad. I had a wonderful girl as a caretaker. They are family to me. But I have never actually left my child for work. My husband is very supportive. He believes that our child needs at least one parent. He has been there with Rudransh. He is his mother and father both. I, as a mother, probably have failed. But he has been a father and a mother to my son and a fantastic one.”
Isn't Rupali's journey inspirational?
