Rupali is among the highest-paid television actresses in India, best known for her roles as Monisha Singh Sarabhai in the sitcom Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Anupamaa Joshi in the drama Anupamaa.
Her acting journey began at the age of seven in her father’s directorial venture Saaheb in 1985, where she starred opposite Tapas Paul in the Bengali film Balidan. Despite the film’s success, she did not pursue further projects in Bengali cinema.
Rupali had her breakthrough with her portrayal of Dr. Simran Chopra in the medical drama series Sanjivani: A Medical Boon. She also participated in Bigg Boss 1 and appeared in Ek Packet Umeed and Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi.
Currently, she is seen in Anupamaa, which is a remake of Star Jalsha’s Bengali series Sreemoyee. It stands as one of the longest-running Indian television soap operas. Rupali plays the titular role and has worked alongside Sudhanshu Pandey, Madalsa Sharma, and Gaurav Khanna. Since October 2024, the series features Rupali along with Adrija Roy and Shivam Khajuria in lead roles.
The show centers around Anupamaa Shah, a selfless homemaker who reclaims her identity after feeling undervalued by her family. Following the discovery of her husband’s infidelity, she chooses to embrace self-respect, independence, and personal growth while navigating the complexities of relationships and societal expectations, ultimately redefining her role in life.
