Anupamaa actor Rupali Ganguly has been at the receiving end for the past few days, as her step-daughter Esha Verma spoke about how Rupali ruined their family. She had also accused Rupali of mentally, physically and emotionally harassing her family and being the reason for her father Ashwin K Verma to move away from them.
Rupali Ganguly is married to Ashwin K Verma and has a son too from the marriage. However, Esha was quite open in commenting on how deceivingly Rupali tore apart her family and took her father away.
In the latest development concerning the notable family dispute, Rupali Ganguly, renowned for her role in the popular television series Anupamaa, has initiated legal proceedings against her step-daughter, Esha Verma. On November 11, with the assistance of her legal counsel, the prominent celebrity lawyer Sana Raees Khan—who gained public attention as a contestant on Bigg Boss 17—Rupali filed a defamation lawsuit. The suit demands an eye-watering Rs 50 crore in damages, alleging that Esha’s public statements have unjustly harmed both Rupali’s personal life and professional standing in the entertainment industry. According to the statements from Khan’s legal team, Rupali’s decision to initiate this legal action was significantly prompted by remarks made by Esha that involved her young son, Rudransh, who is just 11 years old. Rupali deemed these comments unacceptable, prompting her pursuit of justice in the form of a lawsuit to protect her family’s honor.
The report at New18.com talked about the legal case being filed. As per the report, Sana Raees Khan’s team explained the reasons behind the legal step. “We have issued a defamation notice to her stepdaughter in response to her false and damaging statements as Rupali Ganguly firmly stands against the use of defamatory tactics for Publicity and she has taken this legal step to protect her reputation from unfounded claims. These baseless allegations were clearly intended to harm Rupali Ganguly’s reputation and capitalise on her public standing. Such actions have not only caused emotional distress but have also unfairly tarnished her personal and professional integrity,” the statement read.
