Rupali Ganguly Backs Bold ‘Male Abuse’ Track in Anupamaa
Rupali Ganguly has praised the makers of Anupamaa for addressing a rarely discussed but sensitive issue — abuse faced by men within marriage.
Known for consistently highlighting women’s empowerment through the show, the upcoming track shifts focus to a different yet equally important concern. Produced by Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi, the storyline will show Anupamaa confronting Moti Baa’s niece Kirti for mentally and emotionally harassing her husband, Kapil.
Anupamaa Takes a Stand Against Abuse Faced by Men
Rupali Ganguly, who has always been vocal about supporting women’s rights, acknowledged that while a majority of domestic abuse cases involve women as victims, there are instances where men silently endure emotional trauma.
She expressed that society often assumes men are automatically at fault in marital disputes, but that is not always true. According to her, some men tolerate mental harassment due to upbringing, values, and social conditioning that discourages them from speaking out.
The actress further pointed out that societal narratives typically highlight crimes against women — including dowry harassment and domestic violence — but cases where men are wronged should also be acknowledged. Rupali Ganguly believes justice should be gender-neutral and that wrongdoing must be condemned irrespective of whether it is committed by a man or a woman.
Why This Storyline Is a Proud Moment for the Show
She revealed that while shooting the Kapil-Kirti track, several male members on the set related to the storyline and empathised with it. She emphasised that many men continue to suffer quietly because of fear of ridicule and social stigma.
Calling the track a “proud moment,” Rupali Ganguly said she salutes the writers and makers of Anupamaa for daring to address such a delicate topic, especially in a show celebrated for championing women’s empowerment. For her, standing up for fairness and equality — regardless of gender — is the true essence of empowerment.
