Esha Verma's claims against stepmother Rupali Ganguly
Talking to The Free Press Journal, Esha Verma shared her thoughts on how Ganguly's public persona starkly contrasts with the values she claims to uphold. Calling it her father's fault, she added, "She has very horrible values and I can’t even speak on it. It’s so terrible; it’s so dark. As a man, you have destroyed your own family; I totally agree."
She raised a question about the actor's intentions, asking why someone would get involved with a man who is already married and has two children.
In her now-deleted clip, Esha apologized to 11-year-old Rudransh (Rupali and Ashwin's son) for the hurt her statements would have caused him. She expressed hope, saying that Ashwin is finally being the father he couldn't be for her and her sister. Recalling her childhood, a time when her admiration for her father knew no bounds, Esha mentioned that she used to carry a picture of them together everywhere.
Furthermore, Esha Verma accused her father of not protecting her from the mean comments. To add to these serious claims, the 26-year-old accused Rupali of stealing her mother's jewelry, abusing her mother, and leaving her with many traumatic experiences.
For the uninitiated, before marrying Rupali Ganguly, Ashwin Verma was married twice. Details about his first marriage are under the wraps. Following the divorce from his first wife, he got hitched to Sapna in 1997. Esha is Ashwin and Sapna's biological daughter, currently living in the USA.
