My Take
What draws me to Roopa Ganguly is the sheer range of someone who refused to be boxed in. Carrying Draupadi in B R Chopra's Mahabharat is no small feat; that role is practically sacred to a generation of viewers, and she made it her own. But I admire even more that she didn't stop at acting fame and top television paychecks. She won a National Film Award as a playback singer, then walked straight into politics. That kind of restless reinvention takes real spine, and I respect performers who keep widening their own definition of what they can be.
