In a significant legal move, Rupali Ganguly, renowned for her role in the television series Anupamaa, has filed a defamation suit against her stepdaughter Esha Verma, seeking Rs 50 crore for allegedly damaging her reputation through false statements.**
Rupali Ganguly, the acclaimed actress of Anupama, has taken legal action against her stepdaughter Esha Verma by filing a defamation suit for Rs 50 crore. The lawsuit follows a series of accusations made by Esha on social media, which Rupali claims have severely impacted her personal and professional life. The legal notice, prepared by her lawyer Sana Raees Khan, alleges that Esha’s statements were not only false but also intended to malign Rupali’s character.
The controversy erupted when an old Facebook comment by Esha resurfaced online, in which she accused Rupali of having an affair with her father while he was still married to Esha’s mother. This claim, along with other allegations of inappropriate behavior and theft, prompted Rupali to respond legally after initially maintaining silence. The notice details the emotional distress caused to Rupali, leading her to seek medical help and resulting in professional setbacks.
Rupali’s lawyer emphasized that the actress chose to pursue this lawsuit after Esha involved her 11-year-old son in the dispute. The notice demands an immediate public apology from Esha and warns of further legal action if this demand is not met. The situation has escalated significantly, highlighting the complex dynamics within their family.
Esha Verma is the daughter of Rupali’s husband, Ashwin Verma, from his previous marriage. The family dynamics have become a point of contention as both Rupali and Ashwin have previously supported Esha’s aspirations in the entertainment industry.
This unfolding legal battle not only raises questions about familial relationships but also underscores the challenges faced by public figures in managing their reputations amidst personal disputes. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how both parties will navigate this contentious issue in the public eye.
