On Wednesday, Shahi took to his Instagram handle and posted a photo featuring him and Ganguly from the sets of their popular show “Anupamaa.” The director showered praises on the actress, saying she inspires everyone with her hard work, dedication, talent and humility. Rajan wrote, “Rupali, you inspire all of us each day, every moment at DKP/Shahi Productions for your hard work, dedication, talent, honesty, integrity, and humility.

Meanwhile, Rupali is currently seen playing the titular role in Rajan Shahi’s popular daily soap “Anupamaa”, which has been dominating the TRP charts since its inception.
