In a recent chat with Vickey Lalwani, Rajan Shahi rubbished these rumours and labelled Rupali Ganguly an “easy target." “Rupali is responsible for everything internationally and nationally, whether it is an economic or social issue or anything else. Everything. I consider Rupali responsible for everything. Even if there is a problem in Germany, Rupali is responsible," Shahi said sarcastically.
He further continued, "She is a very easy target. You take her name and ten journalists will write. It is a price one has to pay for fame."
While stating how others use Rupali's fame to gain attention, Rajan shared, “Rupali has become one of the biggest brands ever after Smriti [Irani] ji. You know the kind of popularity she enjoys. It always becomes a very easy target to put her name. You get immediate traction."
He concluded the topic by saying, “She [Rupali Ganguly] is very capable of fighting her own battles. I know from experience that unless it affects my shooting, whatever happens before and after pack-up, I am not interested. I am not calling actors on set to make relations."
