Rupali Ganguly, renowned for her lead role in the popular television series "Anupamaa," has officially entered the world of politics by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at their headquarters in Delhi. The event has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many drawing parallels between Ganguly and another television star-turned-politician, Smriti Irani, who is currently serving as a Union Minister. During the induction ceremony, Ganguly expressed her motivation for joining the ruling party, citing the BJP's development efforts as a key factor.
"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," she said, resonating a commitment to active political engagement.
The comparison to Smriti Irani on Twitter and other social media platforms highlights the similar paths both actresses have taken, transitioning from successful television careers to significant political roles. Users noted Irani's successful tenure and expressed hopes that Ganguly could replicate this success in her new political journey.
Ganguly's entry into politics is being seen as part of the BJP's strategy to attract diverse talent from various sectors, thereby enhancing the party's appeal, especially ahead of crucial elections. The discussions on social media also speculate whether Ganguly will be given a significant role similar to Irani, who has held multiple ministerial positions.
Some on the Internet also flooded social media with memes from "Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai," one of Ganguly's most popular and successful shows. The humorous content highlighted her memorable character's quirks, drawing parallels between her on-screen persona and her new political role.
As reactions pour in, Ganguly's fan base and political observers alike are keenly watching how her political narrative will develop.?
