Breaking| Rupali Ganguly sends defamation notice to the tune of ₹50 crores to stepdaughter Esha Verma
Actor Rupali Ganguly, accused by stepdaughter Esha Verma of ‘bullying’ her, and controlling her father, has sent a defamation notice via her lawyer Sana Khan.
Actor Rupali Ganguly, LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION GLOBAL NEWS City has learnt, has sent a defamation notice to stepdaughter Esha Verma, seeking compensation of ₹50 crores. Esha, via social media posts and interviews, has accused the actor of having an extra marital affair with her father, Ashwin K Verma while he was married to her mother Sapna.
Sana Raees Khan, Ganguly's lawyer, tells us, “We have issued a defamation notice to her stepdaughter in response to her false and damaging statements as Rupali firmly stands against the use of defamatory tactics for Publicity and she has taken this legal step to protect her reputation from unfounded claims. These baseless allegations were clearly intended to harm Rupali Ganguly’s reputation and capitalize on her public standing. Such actions have not only caused emotional distress but have also unfairly tarnished her personal and professional integrity.”
The legal notice, a copy of which is in possession of LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION GLOBAL NEWS City, addresses Esha: “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".
The background
It all started when a Reddit post went viral after a user shared snippets of an old Facebook comment made by Esha. In the comment, she accused Ganguly of having an affair with her father Ashwin while he was still married to her mother, describing Rupali as “cruel-hearted”. The post quickly made waves online, leading Ashwin to issue a statement on X denying the claims. In response, Esha posted on Instagram (see top right), saying, “There’s a darker side to this story... All I ask for is compassion as it unfolds.”
Later, in an interview to LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION GLOBAL NEWS City, Esha further claimed, "Rupali threatened my mother. If I spoke to him on call, she’d scream in the background. She even cornered me when I went to visit him in Mumbai. She told me, ‘You will regret if you ever do this again or say you want your parents to meet’. I was always afraid to go to India and couldn’t stay longer than two days with him.”
Rupali helped Esha who wanted to become an actor, claims notice
The defamation notice sent by Rupali further states, “Our client asserts that the derogatory words and abusive language used publicly by you against her are profoundly degrading. These actions have damaged her reputation, violated her dignity, and adversely impacted her career, resulting in substantial financial losses.”
Ganguly, according to the notice, was ‘shocked and deeply disturbed’ as she came across the accusations, when she had in fact helped Esha in her acting aspirations.
“Our client did not anticipate such a malicious attack from you, as she always treated you well during your visits to India. Our client extended opportunities for you to break into the Indian entertainment industry with assistance from her and her husband. You were provided with numerous photoshoots and auditions…” it further reads.
