Meet Alpana Choudhury, FBI: Wife of International Actor Michael Torpey

He spoke highly of her and the growth of the company she runs.
A few years ago Michael talked about joining the project Paid in fullwhich he is not only the host of but also the creative force behind, he said the project was born out of his personal experience. He further explained that he decided to do this project with the idea of exposing the terrible nature of student loan debt after a very personal experience with student loan debt that he shared with Alpana.
So apparently when Michael and Alpana got married, the latter was about $40,000 in debt. At the time, they were trying to consolidate their finances, and Michael had just booked his first “good” acting gig. He had done a series of commercials for Hanes, which was the first time he had money in his bank account. So he decided to write a check and get it over with. So when Michael wrote that check, he recalls, Alpana started crying. For his part, he said he felt bad for not really giving her credit for how hard she worked to pay those bills and pay the rent and still have a life. But he also knew at that moment that if he didn’t help her pay it off, she would be gone for another 20 years.
Michael also loved his daughter very much. Some people even called her his twin.
