Rupali Ganguly says, 'A child is a mother's greatest pride'

Rupali Ganguly opens up about a powerful Mother's Day promo on 'Anupamaa', highlighting the pain of being misunderstood by one's own child and the need for empathy.

"A child is a mother's greatest pride, which is why it hurts the most when her character and dignity are questioned by the very people she raised - Rupali Ganguly"

Mumbai, May 9

The audience will get to see a powerful moment this Mother's Day on the beloved show "Anupamaa," headlined by actress Rupali Ganguly, bringing forth the silent pain numerous mothers carry behind their seemingly solid exterior.

The recently released promo from the show includes a heartbreaking confrontation where Anupama finds herself accused and misunderstood by her own daughter.

What starts as a simple family moment soon transforms into an emotional breakdown when Anupamaa's daughter ends up questioning her love, loyalty, and ability to move forward in life after loss.

Talking about the power-packed promo and reflecting on the mother-daughter bond, Rupali shared, "Mothers are the embodiment of protection and nurturing. But what happens when the same mother is questioned by her own children?"

"A child is a mother's greatest pride, which is why it hurts the most when her character and dignity are questioned by the very people she raised", she added.

Rupali explained, "Anupama's response - "I am not a bad mother" - comes from heartbreak, not anger. It is a mother finally choosing self-respect over silence."

At the end, she further urged every child to empathise with their mothers.

She also pointed out to all the mothers that loving them also means standing up to them when they are wrong.

"This Mother's Day, I urge the children to empathise with your mothers. And to the mothers, loving your children also means standing up to them when they cross a line," concluded the 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' actress.

The promo has managed to spark a conversation around the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers and the emotional burden they silently carry within their own families.

"Anupamaa" airs every day at 10:00 PM on StarPlus and anytime on JioHotstar.

Premiered on 13 July 2020, it is one of the longest-running Indian television shows.

It's commendable that Rupali Ganguly and the team are addressing this sensitive topic. But let's be honest - in real life, most mothers would never say "I am not a bad mother" like that. They'd just cry quietly. I hope this episode inspires real families to actually listen to their mothers, not just watch it on TV and do nothing. Good message though.

The part where she says "loving your children also means standing up to them when they cross a line" - that is so true! In our culture, mothers are told to always be patient and forgiving. But sometimes a little tough love is necessary. My mother never hesitated to call me out when I was wrong, and now I realize that was her way of shaping me. Respect to all mothers who balance love with discipline! 🙏

I'm not Indian but I love how Indian TV shows tackle emotional topics. This reminds me of similar struggles in Western families too - mothers are often misunderstood by their adult children. Rupali's message to both children and mothers is universal. It's about respect, not just love. Beautiful promo.

Honestly, I find it a bit overdone. Our serials always go for the melodrama route. But yes, the core issue is real - mothers being questioned by their own kids. I just wish they showed more practical solutions instead of just emotional dialogues. Still, Rupali is a brilliant actress, and if this makes even one family pause and think, it's worth it. ❤️
