Now, there are big awards, like the National Film Awards, that give prizes to actors.

Rupali Ganguly and others are saying, "Hey, we work just as much, why aren't we considered for these awards?"

It's like, why do the movies get all the awards, and not the TV shows?

Quotes
Rupali Ganguly
Anupamaa actress
“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 the government to consider us also. We work very hard; it'll be nice to have some validation.”
