Rupali Ganguly Files Defamation Suit Against Stepdaughter Esha Verma.

Renowned actress Rupali Ganguly has filed a defamation lawsuit against her stepdaughter, Esha Verma, in the Bombay High Court. The case arises from claims made by Verma in a viral social media video, which Ganguly asserts are false and damaging to her reputation.

Legal Action to Protect Reputation

Sana Raees Khan, Ganguly’s lawyer, confirmed the legal action, emphasizing that it is meant to protect the actress from “baseless and malicious attacks.” Khan stated in an exclusive interview with Times of India TV, “We are defending Rupali’s reputation. Public platforms cannot be misused to tarnish someone’s image without consequences.” The lawyer further explained that the claims made by Verma were unsubstantiated, which prompted the suit.
