Rupali Ganguly has always been someone who speaks her heart out. Amidst the current wave of tension between India and Pakistan, the actress didn’t hold back from sharing her stance.
Taking to her social media handle, Rupali openly applauded the bravery and determination of the Indian Armed Forces. The military operation targeting terror camps across the border sent shockwaves across both nations. While the country praised the swift action, not everyone reacted with the same sentiment. Pakistani actor Fawad Khan condemned the military strike, a move that didn’t sit well with Rupali.
Without mincing words, she penned a message addressing those upset with her stance, particularly from across the border. Her note wasn’t just a response; it was a reminder of her identity and priorities. “Unfollowing me won’t bring any betterment to your country,” she declared. She firmly advised people in Pakistan to look inward and question their government’s actions, suggesting that true progress lies in halting terror activities against India.
Her words reflected both hurt and pride. Rupali pointed out that while unfollowing or trolling might affect an artist’s social media numbers, it means nothing in the larger context. “Your following or unfollowing may make a difference to an artist but not to an Indian. And I’m an Indian First. A Proud INDIAN,” she stated. It was a message that struck a chord with many of her fans and followers.
Unfollowing me won't bring any betterment to your country.First ask your government and army to stop terrorism against India, this will be the only way for the betterment of Pakistan.
Your following or unfollowing may make a difference to an artist but not to an Indian. And I'm…

Earlier, Rupali had expressed her thoughts on Operation Sindoor itself. She believed that the time for silence had long passed and that India was no longer willing to ignore repeated acts of terrorism. She noted that the country would now answer with strength and determination. Her words reflected a collective national sentiment that had been building up over time.
But acting isn’t the only path she’s chosen. In a recent turn, Rupali ventured into politics by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The escalating situation between the two countries has seen many public figures either stay silent or choose carefully worded responses. Rupali, however, stood apart by directly addressing the issue and defending her country’s actions unapologetically.
Fans of Anupamaa and Rupali alike are now seeing a new dimension to their favorite star. In an industry often hesitant to take strong stands, Rupali Ganguly has shown that sometimes, conviction speaks louder than convenience.
