Anupamaa has remained one of the most cherished shows on Indian television since its launch in 2020. The series quickly found a special place in the hearts of viewers with its heartfelt storytelling. Rupali Ganguly, who plays the title role, has become one of the most adored actresses on TV.
Among her countless fans, one stood out for her unconditional love, comedian Viraj Ghelani’s nani. She had been an ardent follower of Anupamaa and adored Rupali. Viraj frequently shared glimpses of his nani’s affection for the show on social media. In several of his YouTube videos, his grandmother was seen expressing her admiration for Rupali and the character of Anupamaa. Those clips quickly went viral, drawing smiles from fans and even catching Rupali’s attention.
Deeply touched by the elderly fan’s love, Rupali decided to meet her. Their meeting was nothing short of heartwarming. It marked the beginning of a beautiful bond between the actress and Viraj’s nani. Rupali fondly remembered her, and nani looked forward to every interaction. Their relationship wasn’t limited to one meeting. Rupali kept in touch and followed up about her health regularly.
Sadly, a cloud of grief now hangs over this warm friendship. Viraj Ghelani’s nani passed away, leaving a void in the hearts of those who cherished her. Rupali shared this sorrowful news with her followers. She took to Instagram to express her feelings and posted a touching message for her beloved fan. Along with a recent picture of them together, she wrote, “You will be missed.”
The emotional bond between the two had grown stronger in recent times. When Viraj’s nani fell ill, Rupali was quick to reach out. Despite her packed schedule, she made sure to check on her health and stayed in constant contact with Viraj for updates. Viraj himself had earlier posted about the moment Rupali visited his nani. Sharing photos of their meeting, he wrote, “The moment @rupaliganguly got to know Nani is not doing good with her health she followed up regularly on call with me and made sure every thing was going good…Yesterday the moment she could squeeze time from shoot, she came home to Kandivali and spent some time with nani and nani, oh my god she was soo happy, she was like a kid meeting her favourite superhero… Lots of love and thank you @rupaliganguly.”
The images showed a visibly overjoyed nani, beaming as she sat with her favorite actress. It was clear that those few minutes of conversation brought her immense happiness.
As of now, Viraj has not shared any public message about his nani’s passing. The exact details about her demise haven’t been disclosed either.
The memories of those sweet interactions will continue to stay alive in the hearts of fans who witnessed their beautiful connection.
