Rupali Ganguly

If Rupali Ganguly had any doubts at all of her fan base, she was reassured on Tuesday during a Rediff Chat with her fans.

The television actress of Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai and Bigg Boss fame, answered questions about her participation in Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2, and much more.

For those who missed the chat, here's what transpired:

rohan asked, hello loved u in big boss! are coming in seson 3
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Nahi nahi would love to be observed by my favourite, the original Bigg Boss Mr Bachchan but don't have the guts to go back in there. Maybe after some more tears you would see me there again!

kishor asked, hi rupali ....how r u their at Cape town
RUPALI GANGULY answers, We finished shooting Khatron Ke Khiladi some time back so am here in Mumbai.

PagalAadmee asked,  Hi Rupali, can you please tell us who is the winner of KHATRIN KA KHILADI season 2?
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Please keep watching Khatron Ke Khiladi for the answer that you want. Hahaha ... This I'm not telling.

Sauravganguly asked, hi, r u scared abt what u are doing?
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Very, very, very scared. I'm petrified. But what a great experience. It's that good fear you feel. I'm loving this khatra!

snwahal asked, why you have stoped coming in serails now?
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Is that how it looks? Well honestly I love working in serials but am not getting the kind of roles that I want to do. So till I get something super like all my previous roles I would be lying low. But do keep praying for me for sure.

ravi asked, madam how this show is different from big boss
RUPALI GANGULY answers, There is absolutely no comparison. This is more of your physical capabilities and your presence of mind but Bigg Boss is all about your emotional strength and your mental strength. And I swear to God the reptiles and the dangers in KKK-2 are much nicer than most of the inmates with me in Bigg Boss.

'Sadly, I did not reach the top 3 of Khatron'

RUPALI GANGULY answers, Aami bhaalo aacchi re, Ritu.

rakh_07@rediffmail.com asked, Hi Rupali, which show you like Big Boss or Khatron ke Khiladi? and why? What happened to you in the tear gas stunt? Hope you are fine now.
RUPALI GANGULY answers, I love both the shows they taught me lot about myself. But Khatron Ke Khiladi I would love to be on every year but Bigg Boss maybe once in 5 years. Haha.

m_k asked, how was the experience in K3
RUPALI GANGULY answers, For me it was the experience of a lifetime! I still can't believe that a bhehenji like me is a part of this awesome show, and also for the first time I'm being called a haseena.

Dharshan asked, hi rupali.. nice to see you doing stunts on KKK 2. Being as asthma patient, you passed the gas room stunt. great going...
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Thanks and yes I didn't get out in that stunt. I still don't believe it re!

joyjeetdan asked, Hi rupali...... how is your feelings about the tasks which you have performed in khatron ki khiladi 2????
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Every task makes me feel proud about myself. KKK2 has changed me as a person. I feel more confident now.

savita asked, Hi Rupali, u were gr8 in Sarabhai...What was going on in ur mind when u got this offer of Khatron Ke Khiladi?
RUPALI GANGULY answers, I jumped at it in spite of not being physically capable to be there. Only a fool would pass up a chance to be on a show like this. I'm so thankful that I got a chance to be on this show.

RUPALI GANGULY answers, God's every creation is beautiful. So in that way ummmm... But I guess you have seen me umpteen times without make up. You decide.

puneet asked, who is ur best friend on the sets of khatron ke khildai
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Shared a room with Carol [Gracias] but Mandira [Bedi] was the best. She is a sweetheart and I have new found respect for Jesse. I like everyone.

katrina asked, hey tell me about ur experience with akshay kumar ....u must have enjoyed working with him isn't it ?????
RUPALI GANGULY answers, I've known him for the last 15 years. He worked in my dad's film Dil Ki Baazi. I tied a raakhi on him then so he is a big brother to me and he always keeps pulling my leg. But it's nice to see that stardom hasn't changed him -- he is still the same. I love him!

nir asked, helllllllllooooooooooo please say hi
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Hi!

NANGA asked, rupali, you plzzz RETIRE..y waste time.we PEOPLE BORED OF YOU...v all pay for CABLE?? just to watch you??yackk
RUPALI GANGULY answers, Unfortunately you're the one sounding boring here. If I was so boring then why are you even here? Your desperate need for cheap thrills and excitement comes across from the name you have kept for yourself. Good bye and God bless.

RUPALI GANGULY answers, Sorry Kashyap, am trying hard to answer as many questions but the connection and my typing is real slow.

hans asked, rupali who is your role model
