Since Anupamaa went on air, it remains one of the most watched television shows in India. Its popularity reached such heights that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi referenced the program in 2023 while promoting the ‘Vocal for Local’ campaign. Now, once again, a scene from the soap opera has gone viral, causing a wave of reactions on the networks. Anupamaa’s last burst of fire, in which he declares “Ghuma ghuma ke maarungi”, has taken social media by storm and many users have compared its intensity with that of Sunny Deol.
In the latest episode, Rupali Ganguly’s character Anupamaa is seen locked in a tense confrontation with Rajani, played by Rinku Dhawan. What starts as a heated argument soon turns into an explosive moment when Rajani challenges Anupamaa, questioning what she is really capable of doing.
This prompts a dramatic monologue from Anupamaa, who says, “Maarungi! maarungi, sandal tod ke maarungi, saari lihaaz chhod ke maarungi. Dono haathon se maarungi. Haath thak gaye toh laathon se maarungi, aur agar pair thak gaye toh baaton se maarungi.”
His outburst doesn’t end there. He further adds, “Itna maarungi, itna maarungi ke dard bhi confuse ho jaayega ke kis kis haddi par, kis kis chot par dhyaan du. Bahut maarungi.”
The dramatic scene quickly went viral, prompting Rupali Ganguly herself to share the clip on her Instagram account. Social media users flooded the comments section with humorous comparisons and memes. One user compared the monologue to Pyaar Ka Punchnama and wrote, “Pyaar Ka Punchnama – monologue in Anupamaa version.” Another commented: “Sunny Deol ka female version mil gaya.”

Others jokingly wrote: “50 shades of maarungi,” while several viewers also expressed concern about the type of violence being portrayed on national television.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Anupamaa’s dialogue has gone viral. Earlier, another powerful scene in which Anupamaa asserted her independence sparked a trend of reel reenactments. In that viral clip, she tells her husband, “Main ghoomu, phiroo, naachu, gaaoon, hasoon, kheloon, baahar jaoon, akele jaoon, kisi ke saath jaoon, jab jaoon, jaise bhi jaoon – aapko kya?”

The dialogue was later recreated by several celebrities including Janhvi Kapoor.
Anupamaa premiered in July 2020 and continues to dominate the television ratings, consistently maintaining its position among the top three shows on the TRP charts.
