Rupali Ganguly, one of Indian television’s most admired actresses, is known not just for her memorable performances but also for her outspoken views. Recently, she found herself in the spotlight for speaking from the heart about Operation Sindoor. In a candid conversation with IANS, Rupali didn’t hold back, choosing her words carefully but firmly. The actress expressed immense pride in the Indian Army and its relentless spirit.
While speaking about the ongoing military operation, Rupali made it clear that such missions are about far more than headlines or political narratives. They symbolize the grit of a nation and the silent sacrifices made by soldiers stationed far from home. She remarked, “Operation Sindoor is a matter of pride for every Indian. Whether it is fully successful or still ongoing, it is a very proud feeling.” The words carried weight, reflecting not just her patriotism but also a deep understanding of what these soldiers endure to keep the nation secure.
What made her comments stand out was her criticism of the indifference she observed among some people, especially those who chose silence when voices were needed the most. Rupali openly questioned those who, despite having access to social media platforms, failed to acknowledge the courage displayed by the armed forces.
She stated bluntly that any individual who hadn’t taken a moment to support the soldiers or appreciate their bravery was missing a simple yet meaningful opportunity. In her words, “And at this time, anyone who has not stood with the government of India or with our Indian Army, who has not encouraged them despite having access to social media, if you haven’t tweeted a few words or posted something encouraging on social media all day, then you’re not doing much.” Rupali’s comment hit a nerve, making people reflect on their actions or the lack of them.
Continuing her thought, Rupali shared that a simple word of encouragement or a respectful post could mean more than people realize. It signals unity and appreciation to those far away from home and family. She added, “You may not be able to do much, but your soldiers are posted at the border fighting for the safety of your family. So, at least you can say a few words about them, about their courage and determination. You can put it out on social media. At least you can show that you stand with your country and with your army.”
