There has been a new twist in the ongoing controversy between TV actress Rupali Ganguly and her stepdaughter Esha Verma. Esha recently shared a video on social media in which she is seen in tears saying, "When your own family wants to destroy you just because you want to live your life." Calling herself a 'nepotism baby', Esha said that she was always kept in the shadows and grew up in silence, confusion and pain that she should not have suffered.

Esha had in 2020 alleged that Rupali Ganguly played a role in her parents' divorce and bullied her mother. Following this, Rupali filed a 50 crore defamation suit against Esha, alleging that Esha had defamed her character. "If I say these things don't affect me, I would be lying," Rupali said about the lawsuit. She also added that the truth always comes out.

Esha reacted to Rupali's lawsuit by calling it "cruel" and said that a child should not be punished like this. She also alleged that Rupali controlled and threatened her father Ashwin Verma. Esha said, "I tried to be happy, but some people want to be involved in this drama." The controversy has now turned into a legal battle, with both parties trying to prove their points. Esha said that she is now focused on moving forward in her life.
