Anupamaa actress Rupali Ganguly’s lawyer Sana Raees Khan revealed that her stepdaughter Esha Verma has not responded to the defamation notice.
As per reports, Esha deleted her Instagram post. The lawyer also shared that Verma’s serious allegations took an emotional and mental toll. She further mentioned that the controversy had hampered Ganguly’s reputation. For the unversed, Rupali sent Esha a defamation case of Rs 50 crore. After this Esha deleted the video and made her Instagram account private.
While speaking to News18, lawyer Sana said “She (Esha Verma) hasn’t responded. However, she has deleted all defamatory posts and deleted one account pursuant to receiving our notice which is an acknowledgement of her wrongdoing. Rupali decided to take this drastic step when her stepdaughter maliciously labelled her 11-year-old child as illegitimate and the matter escalated with continuous and constant defamatory and derogatory posts thereby character assassinating Rupali.”
She added, “It was imperative (to send notice), in view of the fact that she was constantly posting defamatory and baseless posts, thereby attacking Rupali’s reputation and character. She crossed all limits by attacking an 11-year-old child and terming him illegitimate. The false and malicious allegations made by the stepdaughter caused immense emotional distress and mental anguish to my client. These malicious and baseless accusations not only attacked her personal integrity but also tarnished her reputation. Such baseless claims have left her deeply hurt.”
The controversy sparked earlier this month when a Facebook post of Esha Verma went viral in which she alleged that Rupali Ganguly had given death threats to her and her mother. She also said that the actress is ‘controlling’ and ‘abusive’ and gives ‘strange medications’ to her mother.
Notably, Rupali Ganguly is currently seen in the popular Star Plus show Anupamaa. The show premiered in 2020 and gave immense stardom to her. It also streams on Disney + Hotstar.
