Ganguly's Defamation Notice Against Esha Verma
In a firm response to Esha Verma's recent allegations, Rupali Ganguly has issued a defamation notice demanding 50 crore in damages. The notice reportedly accuses Esha of "maligning" Ganguly's character and making false claims that harmed her personal and professional life.The legal notice states, 'Our client states that she was shocked to see the posts and comments published by you on various social media platforms, including Twitter (now X), Instagram, and Facebook. Our client states that it is apposite to put the true and correct facts leading to the issuance of the present notice.' Ganguly asserts that Esha's actions led to mental and emotional distress, forcing her to seek medical help. Furthermore, Ganguly's notice claims that she suffered humiliation on set and even lost job opportunities due to these allegations.
Ganguly reportedly intended to keep the matter private but decided to proceed with legal action as her and Ashwin Verma's 11-year-old son was also dragged into the controversy. In addition to compensation, the actress is demanding an immediate and unconditional public apology. If Esha fails to comply, Ganguly has stated that she will pursue further legal measures.

Esha Verma's Allegations Against Rupali Ganguly
Esha Verma, on the other hand, has levelled serious accusations against both her father, Ashwin Verma, and stepmother, Rupali Ganguly. Esha alleged that Ganguly physically assaulted her mother in Mumbai, stating, 'Rupali physically hit my mother in person in Mumbai.' Esha also accused her father of being "a very abusive man physically and emotionally."Esha's social media posts detail her emotional distress, saying, 'I was devastated, crying in high school because of the women who deliberately came into our lives, who broke my parent's marriage, who physically hit my mother in person in Mumbai in my grandparent's house. To see her win, that's the most devastating thing which I have gone through. I'm not pinpointing just Rupali here I have also gathered the strength to say that it is my father's fault. He was also a very abusive man physically and emotionally so it's a two-party street.'
When Esha's allegations initially went viral, she claimed she faced pressure from her father to remove her posts. She further alleged that she and her mother suffered greatly due to the relationship dynamics involving her father and Ganguly, sharing, 'She has done so much, physically, mentally, verbally, and emotionally, abusing me and my mom. I feel like that was a lot of trauma I had to deal with and suffer with and my mom did too. We suffered a lot, and we don't have that exposure as she does.'
