After Ashwin K Verma reacts to Esha Verma's post on Rupali Ganguly, daughter says, 'It's never acceptable'

Rupali Ganguly has won a massive fan following for her role as Anupamaa. Recently, she made headlines due to a resurfaced Facebook post from 2020, seemingly shared by her stepdaughter, Esha Verma.

In the post, a user identified as Esha Verma, daughter of Ashwin K Verma, alleged that Rupali's marriage to Ashwin created a rift between her and her father. Esha's message even compared the actress to Rhea Chakraborty, referencing the controversy surrounding the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, sparking a wave of online reactions.

After the post went viral, Rupali's husband, Ashwin Verma, responded on social media, stating, "Divorce is a difficult experience that can greatly affect and harm the children of that marriage," acknowledging the challenges of his separation from Esha's mother.

Recently, Esha again took to social media to thank those who reached out with support, stating that for her, this isn't a headline but rather her life and childhood.

Esha captioned, "To everyone who's seen the recent news and reached out - thank you for taking the time to understand my perspective. Watching something so personal go viral has been surreal and overwhelming This isn't just a headline; it's my life, my childhood, and the pain I endured then and still feel today.

I'm grateful to those who have approached this with kindness, consideration, and respect. It's a lot to process, and the comments and attention are heavy. But I'm choosing to stand by my experiences, because some truths need to be heard. Although I first spoke out about this four years ago, I've grown, matured, and healed a lot since then.

Standing up and sharing my truth now reflects the strength I've found in that journey, and I believe it shouldn't be shut down.

My father and his wife may deny these claims, but I believe their response is rooted in fear of the truth finally surfacing. I love my father deeply and idolized him as any young daughter would. But he chose to exclude me from his life, and that disconnection has been incredibly painful.

Watching her rise in the entertainment world with a public image so far from reality has only added to the hurt, especially as she plays a character who champions the very values she disregarded in real life. I know I'm risking a lot by speaking up, but if my voice is finally heard, that's enough.

This is probably the beginning of another long battle, but it feels like the start of justice. I wouldn't wish the pain of a broken family on anyone, especially in circumstances like mine. Every child deserves mental health support and a loving, consistent presence from their parents. If sharing my story can help even one person feel seen or supported, I'm here for that.

It's never acceptable to build happiness on the heartbreak of others.

There's a darker side to this story, one I'm not ready to share yet, as it's a lot to process with everything now unfolding. For now, I hope people can understand the impact this has had on me and approach it with respect.

To those who support and respect this, thank you for being kind, considerate, and respectful. And to those who might judge or dismiss it,

for is compassion as this unfolds. I'm here to share my story, and I'm grateful to everyone who stands by that.

Thank you for listening.

Rupali married Ashwin Verma in 2013, and they have a son together. Ashwin also has two daughters from his previous marriages, with Esha being the younger of the two.
