In the glittering world of Indian television, Star Plus’s ‘Anupama’ reigns supreme at the top of TRP charts, captivating millions with its blend of family drama and women’s empowerment. But now, the show’s lead, Rupali Ganguly, has transformed into the small screen’s answer to Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan, thanks to a fiery monologue that’s set social media ablaze.
The recent episode featured Anupama unleashing a torrent of dhabangai – that signature aggressive swagger – threatening to break bones in the most dramatic fashion. Rupali shared a clip on Instagram where her character declares: ‘I’ll grab you by your ponytail, drag you to the middle of the market, and beat you senseless. I’ll spin you around, slam you down, chase you, soak my shoe and whack you, and if I tire, I’ll verbally thrash you until the pain itself gets confused about which bone to torment first.’
Fans, accustomed to Anupama’s calm and composed demeanor, were stunned by this ultra-aggressive avatar. Social media exploded with comparisons to Salman Khan’s iconic tough-guy roles. Rupali herself captioned the post humbly: ‘I don’t think Anupama can be TV’s Salman Khan because her life is full of pain.’ Yet, memes featuring the dialogue are flooding timelines, turning the moment into viral gold.
This isn’t the first time Anupama’s words have gone viral. Earlier, her bold line – ‘Whether I twirl, dance, sing, laugh, play, go out alone or with someone, whenever and however I go, what’s it to you?’ – inspired reels from Bollywood stars like Janhvi Kapoor and even spawned remix songs. Now, makers have handed social media another treasure trove of content amid the escalating war between Anupama and Rajni.
In the ongoing storyline, Rajni repeatedly targets Anupama, but her quest for revenge backfires tragically. Attempting to teach Anupama a lesson, Rajni sets fire to Anupama’s chawl, unaware that her own daughter Prerna is inside with Anupama. The blaze claims Prerna’s life, plunging the drama into deeper emotional turmoil.
As ‘Anupama’ continues to dominate ratings, this latest twist ensures it remains the talk of the town, blending high-stakes drama with moments that resonate far beyond the screen.
