Anupamaa famed actress Rupali Ganguly shared rare insights about receiving negative criticism in a recent interview.

During the candid discussion, the 48-year-old television star revealed that she  gained 23 kg's of weight after  giving  birth to her son, Rudransh.

In  an exclusive interview with TellyTalkIndia, the actress  said, “Maine aapne aapko accept kiya the way I’m. After Rudransh, I was 83 kilo aur main mirror nahi dekhti thi. Kahin log ne bola tu toh itni moti ho gayi. Random cheezein jo kahin jati woh aapko chu jati hai, especially being a woman.”

“Mere himmat nahi hoti thi aayne ke samne aane ki and Ashwin was always very kind. Kind kya, he loved me," she went on to add. 

Furthermore, she added,"When you love somebody you don’t see the body or anything but I used to feel different. 24 se aapki waist jab 40 ki ho jaati hai ajeeb sa lagta hai.”

Moreover, she recalled about how show producer Rajan Shahi told her that she didn’t need to look like a model. 

As she  mentioned, that initially she wanted some time to lose weight first, but Rajan said he wanted a mother figure for the show, not a perfect face or body. 

Notably, Rupali realized later that the drama which recently marked it's fifth anniversary, works because of her imperfections.
