A single picture can speak a thousand words, and this heartwarming moment captured during the shoot does just that. On one side stands Rupali Ganguly, deeply immersed in her role as Anupamaa, cradling a gentle, voiceless soul—a cow—her eyes reflecting boundless love and empathy. On the other side is her on-screen daughter, Adhyaa, played by Alisha Parveen, whose expression mirrors the same tenderness, embracing another sacred, voiceless being. This image beautifully encapsulates not just the story of Deepa Shahi and Rajan Shahi’s Anupamaa, but the profound connection. We have always seen Anupamaa’s unyielding love for the bezubaan—the voiceless souls—in the show. Whether it is the way she cares for animals or the compassionate decisions she makes for those who can’t speak for themselves, she has embodied the spirit of empathy and care. This quality defines her as a mother, and it is this very trait that seems to have passed down to her on-screen daughter Adhyaa. In this moving moment, the image paints a powerful narrative of how empathy flows from one generation to the next.
Both mother and daughter, without words, express an unspoken love for the voiceless, as if it is an inherent part of their beings. The way they both connect with the animals is a reflection of their shared hearts—empaths who find beauty and warmth in the silent language of love. For Anupamaa, played by Rupali Ganguly, this isn’t just an on-screen act. Off-screen, too, Rupali is known for her deep love for animals, and this moment during the Dwarka shoot highlights that her compassion extends far beyond the script. Her connection to these voiceless beings is real, authentic. What makes this moment so emotional is the purity of the connection. Both Anupamaa and Adhyaa (Alisha Parveen) radiate a kind of love that doesn’t require words. Their hands rested gently on the animals, their eyes softened with understanding and care. It’s as if they are speaking the language of the bezubaan—without the need for words, only with gestures of kindness and warmth. This isn’t just a scene from a show; it’s a reflection of how love and compassion can be inherited, how empathy can be passed down from mother to daughter, in the characters they portray.
Anupamaa’s legacy, both as a mother and a champion for the voiceless, lives on in Adhyaa, showing us that love, when shared, only multiplies. This year we also saw how Ishika Shahi also took the initiative to weave a powerful message of compassion into the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. Inspired by the themes of empathy seen in Anupamaa, she encouraged people to advocate for shelter homes, showcasing a commitment to voiceless beings. This heartfelt initiative mirrors the love for bezubaan souls that Anupamaa and her daughter Adhyaa embody, highlighting the importance of caring for animals. Now, we see Adhyaa following in her footsteps, embodying the same spirit of care for all living beings, regardless of their ability to speak.
