The recent resurgence of a four-year-old social media post by Esha Verma, stepdaughter of popular Indian actress Rupali Ganguly, has thrust the 'Anupamaa' star into a whirlwind of controversy. In the post, Esha, daughter of Ganguly's husband Ashwin Verma from his previous marriage, accused the actress of being a 'psychotic and abusive woman,' sparking a public feud and raising serious questions about the personal lives of these prominent figures.
In an exclusive interview with Times Now/Telly Talk India, Esha, now 26 and residing in the US, provided further details about her allegations, claiming that Ganguly's son, Rudransh, is illegitimate. She alleges that Ganguly was having an affair with her father while he was still married to her mother, which led to their divorce in 2008. According to Esha, her father was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and Ganguly, who was reportedly giving him medication, exerted a considerable influence over him.
Esha's account paints a picture of neglect and abuse. She alleges that her father prioritized Ganguly over her, choosing to abandon her and not being present during important milestones in her life, such as school events and her graduation. She further accuses Ganguly of being 'obsessed' with her father and causing him to behave abusively towards her. Esha describes feeling unwelcome and unsafe during her brief visits to their Mumbai home, stating that she couldn't stay for more than two days. She claims that her father became 'scary and abusive' under Ganguly's influence.
Adding another layer to the complex saga, Esha draws parallels between her family's tumultuous past and Ganguly's popular television show, 'Anupamaa.' She argues that her mother's life mirrors the protagonist's, while Ganguly embodies the negative character, Kavya. Esha's claims are further fueled by statements from other 'Anupamaa' co-stars, who reportedly corroborate her accusations of Ganguly's two-faced nature.
The most shocking claim made by Esha concerns the legitimacy of Rudransh. She states that Ganguly and Ashwin got married in February 2013 and that Rudransh was born prematurely in August of the same year. Esha alleges that this timeline is fabricated and that Rudransh was conceived during their father's marriage to her mother. She states that the family was not informed about the wedding or the birth of Rudransh, further highlighting a perceived pattern of secrecy and manipulation.
Esha's allegations are a stark reminder of the often hidden complexities within seemingly idyllic celebrity lives. They expose the power dynamics, emotional turmoil, and the far-reaching consequences of infidelity and family discord. While the truth of Esha's claims remains to be determined, this story serves as a stark reminder that behind the glitz and glamour, there can be hidden truths and untold narratives.
