Anupamaa
star
Rupali
Ganguly
recently
opened
up
about
her
late
father
Anil
Ganguly
who
was
a
notable
filmmaker
in
the
1970s.
The
actress’
father
has
directed
films
like
Kora
Kagaz
and
Tapasya
among
many
others.
But
despite
his
success,
the
Rupali
recalled
a
point
in
their
lives
when
they
had
to
sell
their
house.
She
told
Pinkvilla
that
her
father
was
once
making
a
film
with
Dharmendra
that
got
delayed
and
as
a
result,
they
had
to
sell
their
house,
which
was
a
tough
phase
for
the
family.
The
actress
said
that
the
film
business
has
an
organised
now,
but
everything
was
quite
haywire
back
in
the
day.
Rupali
shared,
“At
that
time,
it
was
more
about
the
passion
of
making
films,
rather
than
the
money.
Now
making
movies
is
a
proper
business,
back
then
it
was
madness.
People
used
to
sell
their
houses
to
make
movies.
And
if
the
film
flops,
the
house
is
gone.
This
is
what
happened
with
us.”
Rupali
also
mentioned
that
her
father
was
known
for
making
films
quickly
whilst
adding
that
the
1985
film
Saaheb,
starring
Anil
Kapoor,
Rakhee
and
Amrita
Singh
was
shot
in
just
40
days.
However,
when
the
film
with
Dharmendra
kept
getting
delayed,
it
got
difficult.
“My
dad
had
made
a
film
with
Dharmendra.
It
had
dragged
on
for
3-4
years.
We
lost
a
lot
during
that.
But
as
they
say,
whatever
goes
up,
has
to
come
down,”
she
added.
In
the
chat,
Rupali
even
spoke
about
the
success
of
her
show
Anupamaa
and
how
it
has
helped
her
discover
self-love.
The
actress
said,
“It
has
given
me
so
much
as
an
individual.
It
has
given
me
confidence,
that
maybe
I
am
a
good
actor.
Not
that
I
did
not
appreciate
myself
but
there
was
no
self-love.
There
is
self-worth
(now).
There
is
a
confidence
that
perhaps
I
know
my
craft.”
