Actor Rupali Ganguly has followed up on a legal notice sent to her stepdaughter, Esha Verma, by filing a defamation suit for Rs. 50 crore in damages. Confirming the same, her lawyer, Sana Raees Khan, tells us, “We have filed a defamation suit in the Bombay High Court today to protect Rupali’s integrity and reputation against baseless and malicious attacks.” Khan further emphasised that the lawsuit is a reminder that no one, regardless of citizenship or location, has the right to defame others without facing consequences.

This legal step follows a prior notice sent by Ganguly, requesting an apology and monetary compensation from Verma, along with the removal of negative social media posts about her. The suit was initiated after Verma failed to meet these demands. The matter is now subjudice and expected to be listed in court soon.

The legal conflict between Ganguly and Verma arose after the latter publicly shared her personal experiences related to her father and her upbringing, which included claims that drew negative attention and criticism on social media.

What Esha said after the legal notice was issued to her

Esha addressed her decision to share her personal story involving her father, stating, “Speaking up was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it also became a turning point in my life.”
