Actress Rupali Ganguly Files Rs. 50 Crore Defamation Suit
Famed Anupamaa Actress, Rupali Ganguly has filed a ?50 crore Defamation case against her stepdaughter Esha Verma for maligning her character and personal life.
Popular Hindi television actress Rupali Ganguly, best known for her role as Anupamaa Joshi in the hit TV show Anupamaa, has sent a defamation notice to her stepdaughter Esha Verma after she made serious allegations against her and her husband, Ashwin K Verma.
Esha Verma, who is 26 years old and lives in the United States, recently made shocking claims about her father Ashwin and her stepmother Rupali. In several social media posts and interviews, she accused Rupali Ganguly of physically assaulting her mother, Sapna, and called her “psychotic and abusive.”
Esha alleged that Ganguly used to hit her mother and blamed her for causing conflict between her parents. She also stated that Ganguly once traveled to their home in New Jersey and stayed in the bed that was shared by her parents.
These accusations have created a stir, and Esha’s posts have gone viral, leading to significant public attention.
In response to the allegations, Ashwin K Verma, Rupali Ganguly’s husband, issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter) on 11th November 2024. He explained that his marriage to Sapna ended due to several issues between them, and it had nothing to do with any other person. He also mentioned that Rupali and he had always been open about their relationship with his two daughters from his previous marriage.
Rupali Ganguly, in turn, took legal action by issuing a defamation notice to Esha. The notice accuses Esha of making false statements that have harmed Rupali’s reputation. Ganguly’s legal team, led by lawyer Sana Raees Khan, demanded ?50 crore in compensation for the damage to her character and personal life.
The notice also mentions that the actress has suffered from mental trauma, required medical treatment, and faced humiliation on set. This has led to lost professional opportunities. Rupali’s legal team has demanded an immediate public apology from Esha. If Esha does not apologize, further legal action will be taken.
After the defamation notice was issued, Esha Verma deleted her social media posts that contained the allegations against Rupali Ganguly. She also deleted her X account and made her Instagram account private. However, Esha has not yet publicly responded to the defamation notice.
This situation has caused a lot of drama, both on social media and in the media. Rupali Ganguly, one of the highest-paid TV actresses in India, is now seeking legal justice for the harm caused to her reputation. As the case continues, it remains to be seen whether Esha will offer a public apology or whether further legal proceedings will follow.
