Background on Esha Verma and Family Dynamics
Rupali Ganguly, a well-known television actor, is married to Ashwin K Verma. Esha Verma, Rupali’s stepdaughter, is the child of Ashwin and his first wife, Sapna Verma, with whom he divorced in 2008. Following this, Ashwin and Rupali tied the knot in 2013, and they welcomed their son, Rudransh, the same year.
Recently, Rupali Ganguly has responded to serious allegations made by her stepdaughter, Esha Verma, who characterized the actress as “toxic” and “abusive.” The controversy reignited after a 2020 social media post by Esha resurfaced, prompting her to reaffirm her claims. In her earlier commentary, Esha alleged that Rupali had an affair with her father before he and her mother separated. Esha further accused Rupali of being “controlling” and claimed that the actress had issued death threats to both her and her mother.
In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, Rupali opened up about the emotional impact of the allegations on her. She candidly stated, “If I say it doesn’t affect me, I’d be lying. Of course, it affects me—we’re all human. Even if someone speaks ill about us behind our back, it hurts.” This acknowledgment of her feelings highlights the personal toll that public controversies can take on individuals, especially in the realm of family dynamics.
Rupali expressed a philosophical viewpoint on the situation, asserting, “Those who love will continue to love. Keep doing good deeds, and good things will come to you if not today, then tomorrow for sure. Tough times come and bad things happen, but goodness always triumphs in the end.” This reflection suggests her hope for reconciliation through positivity and kindness amidst the turmoil.
In a significant development last month, Rupali Ganguly scored a legal victory in her defamation lawsuit against Esha Verma. Rupali sought ₹50 crore in damages following Esha’s damaging online statements, which included claims that Esha felt “unsafe” around her. As part of this legal resolution, Esha has since removed her controversial posts and locked her Instagram account, which legal experts interpret as a critical win for Rupali in this high-profile case, as confirmed by her attorney, Sana Raees Khan.
