Meet actress who failed in films but became popular on TV, now the highest-paid star on Indian Television, her name is...

Television has its universe, one where characters enter living rooms every day, becoming a part of people's lives. Some shows grip the audience so strongly that missing an episode feels like missing out on a big event. Anupamaa is one such show, often called the modern-day Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Rupali Ganguly, who plays the titular role, has cast such a spell on viewers that many believe the show runs purely on her shoulders. How did her journey start? This is the story of an actress whose film career never took off but who found her empire in television. The little girl in the old photograph is Rupali Ganguly, daughter of filmmaker Anil Ganguly and sister to choreographer Vijay Ganguly. She debuted in 1985 in her father's film Saheb and went on to appear in Do Ankhen Barah Haath, Angaara, and Mera Yaar Mera Dushman. But Bollywood success never came her way. How did she conquer TV? Rupali stepped into television with Sukanya, but it was her role as Dr. Simran Chopra in Sanjivani, A Medical Boon that made her a household name. Then came Sarabhai vs Sarabhai (2004), which turned her into a cult favourite. Her hit list grew with Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Bidaai, Kavyanjali, Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, and Parvarrish: Kuchh Khatti Kuchh Meethi. She even entered Bigg Boss in its very first season. How much does she earn now? Rupali Ganguly is now the highest-paid actress in Indian television. Reports suggest she earns around Rs 3 lakh per episode for Anupamaa. Her popularity has even earned her a place in the ruling BJP. From being written off in films to becoming the face of one of India's biggest TV shows, Rupali's journey is a lesson in resilience, proving that while Bollywood doors may close, television can make you a superstar.

Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapoor tried to mend ways, camera followed them on ‘Patch-up trip', revealed Kareena Kapoor Khan

Ever since business tycoon Sunjay Kapoor took his last breath, there has been constant chatter about his broken marriage with Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. Married in a grand ceremony in 2003, Sunjay and Karisma started facing troubles just two years later. Their marital issues constantly made media headlines, and they were open to public scrutiny. It was Kareena Kapoor who then decided to step out and openly talk about how constant media attention is making things harder for the couple. Back in 2006, Kareena was shooting for Priyadarshan's movie in Chennai. In a candid conversation with Reddit, she addressed the marriage troubles between her sister and Sunjay. 'So much has been written about it. So many of our well-wishers had predicted doomsday for the marriage. But we knew it can be sorted out, and it was. Come on, which marriage doesn't have problems? But if the entire crisis is up for public debate, it naturally becomes harder to solve the tangle,' said Bebo. Kareena Kapoor Khan slammed constant media coverage of Karisma-Sunjay's marriage The actress revealed that the couple is making efforts to mend ways and even went for a patch-up holiday. Kareena Kapoor Khan conveyed her hope for the couple while slamming shutterbugs who even followed the couple on their holiday. She said, 'Of course it's going to work. My sister and Sanjay [Kapur] love each other. Sure, they had problems. But they were aggravated due to constant media attention. The prying became unbearable when cameras followed them to Goa, where they had gone for a patch-up holiday.' The actress even talked about how their daughter Samaira 's birth (2005) brought the couple closer. 'Samaira is a great cementing force between them. In fact, Sunjay is playing a polo tournament soon, and the prize has been named after Samaira. It will be the Samaira Trophy. That's how much he loves his daughter,' concluded the actress. Eventually, Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapoor decided to part ways and mutually filed for divorce in 2014, which was finalized in 2016. Their marriage ended on a bitter note with a lot of allegations of abuse and financial issues. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 4: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri film struggles after slow start, earns ₹1 crore

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 4: Expectations were high for Dhadak 2, the Hindi language remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. The film, helmed by Shazia Iqbal and starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in lead roles, received mostly positive reviews upon its release. However, that has not turned into box office numbers as the film continues to struggle amid other new releases. (Also read: Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 box office report card: Which sequel fared better over the weekend?) Dhadak 2 box office collection day 4: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri shared screen space for the first time in the film. Dhadak 2 box office update As per the latest update on Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 collected ₹1.04 crore on its fourth day of release (as per early estimates), its lowest so far. A dip in collection on Monday is expected, but that has hurt the momentum of the film, especially given that the film has not shown considerable growth during the weekend. Its highest single-day collections were recorded on Sunday, with ₹ 4.15 crore. The overall collection now stands at ₹ 12.44 crore. Dhadak 2 had an overall 12.75% Hindi Occupancy on Monday. Dhadak 2 is facing stiff competition from multiple releases, including Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, animation epic Mahavatar Narsimha, and the blockbuster Saiyaara. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 is a standalone sequel to the 2018 Dhadak. However, it is not connected to the original narrative or characters. It tells the tale of a law student who falls for his classmate, only for her family to harass him due to caste differences. It is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures. Dhadak 2 was initially slated to hit the big screen in November 2024, but it experienced several delays following the reported hurdles with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). These hurdles were resolved only recently after the makers agreed to significant cuts and modifications to the film.
