Rupali Ganguly’s stepdaughter Esha Verma says she felt ‘unsafe’ around her; accuses father Ashwin K Verma of ‘mocking’ her mental health: ‘You shut me down’

Esha shared that despite her efforts to heal over the years, old wounds resurfaced after she encountered hurtful comments in the media. Referring to Rupali, she expressed, “It hurts especially when you have built your career out of lies and hurting someone else. And you don’t feel guilty about it. Didn’t expect any response or any return. Not taking accountability for your actions and ignoring it like nothing happened. That’s your response to me for the last 24 years of my life.”

Esha explained that she felt compelled to share her story publicly to reveal the truth about those involved. She also revealed that she isn’t represented by any PR team and is putting out her story as it is. “I don’t have a PR team, I am speaking for myself and sharing my story,” she said.

She addressed Ashwin and Rupali’s son, Rudransh, offering an apology to him and expressing her affection. She added that she hopes their father is being the supportive parent to Rudransh that she and her sister did not experience. “I apologise if I hurt someone, especially my little brother. I didn’t intend anything like that to happen and I have so much love for you. I hope Papa is the dad to you, that he couldn’t be for me and my sister. But the thing is that I had a different experience. We all grew up as single children, we don’t even have a photo together to this day. That was our father’s responsibility to bring us three together,” she said.

She concluded the video with a message for her father, Ashwin. She said, “A message to my Papa, I am sorry this has to go this far but you never apologised to me ever. Nor did you listen, you always shut me down and I always felt unsafe around her (Rupali). I tried to open up to you and you never took my side.” She went on to say, “You still told mom you loved her. Even after all of this. Why did you lie to us? This wasn’t for revenge. This was for a daughter to stand up for herself.”
