Actress Rupali Ganguly, who rose to fame with her daily soap opera ‘Anupamaa’, is set to embark on her political journey as she joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at its headquarters in Delhi.

The development happened ahead of the third phase of Lok Sabha elections in the presence of party leaders Vinod Tawde and Anil Baluni.

Asking for the country’s support and blessings, Rupali addressed the reporters saying, "When I see this "Mahayagya" of development, I feel that I should also take part in this. I need your blessings and support so that whatever I do, I do it right and good."

Additionally, appreciating PM Modi’s dedication in bringing a revolution in the country, the actress said, “The one personality that attracts everyone towards BJP is PM Narendra Modi. His working style, personality and the way he has taken our country towards development, every Indian wants to join "Modi Sena" and contribute to the country, and I also felt the same and hence I joined the BJP.”

Rupali Ganguly’s decision to join BJP came amid the party’s efforts to attract more attention from the entertainment industry.

She also revealed on her Instagram handle that she met Narendra Modi in March this year. “Last Week was special for reasons beyond words and 8th March 2024 will go down as one of the most memorable and cherished days of my life! A day I will not stop reliving in my mind and feel euphoric about. It was the day my dream came true... that of meeting our Honourable PM Shri Narendra Modiji,” the actor wrote on her Instagram handle.

Rupali Ganguly is popular for her roles in Parvarish, Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, Anupamaa, among others.
