‘Anupamaa' actress Rupali Ganguly, who has been making headlines ever since the show's former actors indirectly hinted at her being their reason to quit, is now back in the news with fresh allegations made by her stepdaughter Esha Verma. The woman in question claims she is the daughter of Rupali's husband Ashwin Verma from his first marriage.

Rupali Ganguly's stepdaughter calls her ‘controlling and psychotic'

Esha's message going viral on social media reads, "This is absolutely pathetic. Does anyone know the real story of Rupali Ganguly? She has 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 tried to separate me and my sister, his own 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 lives of Ashwin's real family and has been publicizing that they have a true love marriage."

‘Rupali Ganguly fed my dad strange medications'

Esha added, "Honestly, she's conducted acts very similar to what Rhea Chakraborty has done to SSR. 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 with absence of my father… It's not easy with seeing 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."

Rupali is the daughter of the late director and screenwriter Anil Ganguly. She is married to businessman Ashwin K Verma. The couple have a son.

Ashwin Verma reacts to daughter's allegations

Rupali's husband took to X and shared a statement about the allegations made by his daughter. He 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."
