Rupali Ganguly has firmly established herself as one of television’s favorite actresses alongside Anupamaa. The show is always a chartbuster and is being regularly followed by households in India further fueling discussions on social media and boosting her fan base. Lucky to win many awards Rupali has rightly depicted the character of Anupamaa being a perfect mother & woman.
Off camera, Rupali has a great relationship with her family and always shows gratitude to her husband Ashwin Verma, and son Rudransh. In one interview, she is quick to mention that Ashwin has been supportive, especially in parenting. The affection Rupali has for Ashwin has been seen on social media and fans too are in love with this lovely couple who seem to be happy in married life. However, recent claims have surfaced, casting a shadow over this seemingly perfect picture.
The Controversial Claims by Alleged Stepdaughter Esha Verma
It was recently seen that a user with the ID Esha Verma on X ( Formerly Twitter) shared some revelations that have left Rupali’s fans and the entertainment industry in shock. Esha, who claims to be his daughter from the previous marriage, has accused Rupali of interfering in her relationship with her father. Esha’s message has gained much popularity in a very short period, she accused Rupali of taking her and her sister away from Ashwin and compared her to the case to a controversial case involving the late Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty.
This is what she posted: “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. She is nothing but a cruel-hearted woman who has done nothing but tried to separate me and my sister, his own daughters a 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 a real too. 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.” This is a big story in entertainment news.
Ashwin Verma’s Response
After the ruckus, Ashwin Verma reacted to the incident by saying, “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.”
Though Ashwin tried to explain the issues of the blended families, yes this controversy got people talking.
