The 71st National Film Awards recently generated attention on social media, as actors such as Shah Rukh Khan (Best Actor for Jawan), Rani Mukerji (Best Actress for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway), and Vikrant Massey (Best Actor for 12th Fail), among others, were recognised for their efforts.  While the film industry celebrated its moment of glory, television actor Rupali Ganguly, well known for her role in Anupamaa, had a strong concern: why is Indian television still disregarded at the National Awards?

Rupali on why TV artistes aren`t considered for National Award

While talking to the paparazzi page Viral Bhayani, the actress shared, "There are National Awards for everyone from film stars to content creators. But there’s nothing for TV artistes. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, others had the advantage of delaying their shooting schedules, but we kept working. When a film star works continuously, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop from 6 am to 6 pm during the pandemic. I request that the government consider us also. We work very hard; it`ll be nice to have some validation."
