Rupali Ganguly is facing backlash after a viral video showed her riding a scooter in Mumbai without a helmet.
New Delhi: Famous TV actress Rupali Ganguly is now the target of criticism after the video went viral in which she appears in her character as Anupama. As the actress exited a Mumbai event, her manager Kaushal Joshi was seen openly disobeying traffic rules by riding a scooter without a helmet. Netizens took to social media to bash the actress for such negligence.
The video showed Rupali Ganguly hastily leaving the place while dressed in traditional attire. Several online users demanded that the Mumbai Police take action against the two.

Netizens’ Reaction To Rupali Ganguly’s Video
Someone asked, "Where is the helmet? Send this driver to jail." One person also wrote, "Helmet ka challan bas gareeb non famous ke liye hi hai kya?? (Is fine for not wearing helmets only for poor and non-famous people?)”
A user also wrote, “What's the location? Mumbai Police ko bhejna hai.”
Critics pointed out the contradiction between Rupali's public image and her compliance with traffic restrictions, which prompted the incident to garner extra criticism due to her affiliation with a political party. In case you didn't know, on May 1st, just before the Lok Sabha elections, Rupali joined the BJP in their Delhi headquarters.
Although the Mumbai Police have remained silent on this, this incident serves as a reminder that famous people must take personal responsibility for their actions and promote road safety.
In addition to her work in the famous TV serial 'Anupamaa', Rupali has starred in several TV series and is most known for her performance as Monisha in the popular sitcom 'Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai'.
