“I Was Genuinely Hurt' During 'Anupamaa' Filming’: Madalsa Sharma Opens Up About Rift with Rupali Ganguly

Madalsa Sharma recently addressed rumours of a rift between her and Rupali Ganguly, her co-star from ‘Anupamaa’. 

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Madalsa revealed that she was hurt by Rupali during the filming of the series. She explained that it affected her when she found out Rupali had spoken negatively about her behind her back.

Reflecting on the situation, Madalsa said, “Sometimes, people are different in front of you and behind your back. I felt things weren’t said in a very polished way about me, and when I learned about it, it hurt. I was like, ‘Why?’ We’re actors, working together. I haven’t done anything to deserve this. If I had, I could understand, but when I haven’t, it doesn’t make sense.”

However, she and Rupali had resolved all their conflicts and clarified their misunderstandings.

Madalsa also mentioned that they both could sense the tension between them but never directly addressed it. 

“We would just look into each other’s eyes and just know that things are a little disturbed between us so let’s sort it out. We would sit together, talk about it and then move on, and we would hug it out also. Like forget it now, bygones are bygones. Neither of us took the initiative to resolve anything, it was just organic. Organic and respectful,” she said.
Madalsa played Kavya in ‘Anupamaa’, a character with grey shades in the family drama. While Rupali Ganguly portrayed the lead role, Anupamaa, a housewife breaking societal norms around relationships and family.
