Roopa
Ganguly
and
many
yesteryear
actors
are
back
in
the
limelight
with
Doordarshan
re-airing
classic
TV
series
amid
COVID-19
pandemic.
Roopa,
who
first
became
a
household
name
after
starring
as
Draupadi
in
Mahabharat,
recently
recalled
a
harrowing
account
of
mob-lynching
she
endured
in
the
wake
of
the
infamous
Palghar
incident.
The
actress
took
to
Twitter
to
share
a
clip
from
Mahabharat
and
accompanied
her
distaste
over
what
happened
at
Palghar.
She
then
revealed
her
personal
ordeal
of
being
mob
lynched
and
brutally
beaten
up
back
in
2016
which
resulted
in
her
suffering
from
two
brain
hemorrhages.
Roopa,
who
is
also
a
Member
of
the
Parliament,
tweeted
in
Hindi
and
wrote,
“I
have
been
remembering,
for
the
past
few
days,
May
22,
2016’s
Diamond
Harbour
incident.
17
to
18
people,
along
with
the
police,
had
pulled
me
out
of
my
car
and
beat
me
up
on
the
road.
They
ransacked
the
car.
I
had
to
suffer
two
brain
hemorrhages.
Only,
I
did
not
die.
I
am
a
rally
driver,
I
snuck
out
of
there.”

&
#Palghar
This
is
not
all,
the
actress
who’s
led
a
rather
tumultuous
life,
had
previously
opened
up
about
trying
to
commit
suicide
thrice.
Roopa
Ganguly
had
told
Times
Of
India,
"I
attempted
suicide
not
once
but
thrice.
Once
before
my
son
was
born
(Akash
was
born
in
1997),
twice
later.
All
three
times,
I
was
adamant
that
I
wanted
to
kill
myself.
The
first
time,
I
consumed
an
overdose
of
sleeping
pills.
But
every
time
I
was
saved.
I
had
tried
my
best
to
kill
myself,
but
I
guess
God
wanted
me
to
endure
more."
