Actress Rupali Ganguly has been batting many accusations made on her of late. A few days back, some of her former colleagues from TV soap Anupamaa spoke against the actress. They hinted how Rupali’s insecurity drove them to quit the popular TV show. Now, Rupali’s stepdaughter Esha Verma has accused the actress of breaking up their family. Esha is Rupali’s husband Ashwin K Verma’s younger daughter from his second marriage. She has accused Rupali of having an extra-marital affair with her father, and distancing her family. Following these accusations, Ashwin defended the Anupamaa actress, saying his divorce had nothing to do with a ‘third person’.
An old post from Esha Verma started circulating on social media in the last few days. In the post, Esha accused Rupali Ganguly of having an extra-martial affair with her father, issuing threats against Esha and her mother, giving her husband Ashwin strange medication and controlling him. While the post is two years old, in a comment to HT, Esha says she stands by what she wrote. When asked if relationship with Rupali is any better, he said, “Not really, there’s no relationship between the two of us. She’s just the mother of my brother, and that’s about it.”
In the long post, Esha had claimed, “This is pathetic. Does anyone know the real story of Rupali Ganguly? She had an affair with Ashwin K Verma for twelve years while he was in his second marriage. Ashwin has two daughters from his previous marriages. She is nothing but a cruel-hearted woman who has done nothing but try to separate me and my sister, his daughters from their father. He used to live in California and then New Jersey for around 13-14 years before moving to Mumbai. The two have one son, not two. I’m speaking out because she claims all over the media that she has a happy marriage with my dad when in reality she’s controlling and psychotic towards him. Whenever I try to call my father, she starts yelling and screaming death threats to myself and my mother. It’s not fair that she ruined the lives of Ashwin’s real family and has been publicizing that they have a true love marriage when she’s destroyed others to get what she wants.”
Esha further wrote in the post, “Honestly, she’s conducted acts very similar to what Rhea Chakraborty has done to SSR (Sushant Singh Rajput). She feeds my dad’s strange medications and is very controlling of his life. I am now 22 years old, but she has started this absurd and strange affair with my father from when I was only 3 years old. Can anyone ever imagine how it is to know that your father has left yours to go start it with someone who just wanted his money and power? My life is not the same and I have suffered so many years having the absence of my father… It’s not easy to see happy families stay together, while mine was broken…when my mom had to work two jobs all by herself and provide for both of us.”
The post further read, “My dad was the VP of his marketing division, and all that was taken away from him because of her. I’ve stayed quiet long enough and now that I am finally an adult, managed to graduate college, I think I have the right to speak my story. I am grateful that social media is so accessible to do so, but this isn’t right that just because she is a television star, her false story can be spread to bring more attention and praise to her.”
Following these accusations, Ashwin took to Twitter and wrote that they were untrue. Ashwin wrote, “I do have two daughters from previous relationships, something Rupali and I have always been open about that I care a great deal about. I understand that my younger daughter still holds a lot of hurt about the dissolution of her parent’s relationship as divorce is a difficult experience that can greatly affect and harm the children of that marriage. But marriages end for many reasons, and my relationship with my second wife had multiple challenges that led to our separation, challenges that were between her and me and that had nothing to do with any other person. I only want the best for my children and my wife and it saddens me to see anyone being pulled into cycles of negativity by the media.”
Rupali and Ashwin had gotten married in February 2013 and welcomed their son Rudraksh in August 2013. The two were friends for 12 years before they took the plunge.
