Rupali Ganguly has come into the headlines after her stepdaughter levelled serious allegations against her. Esha Verma has claimed that Rupali used to physically and mentally abuse her and her biological mother. She also accused her father Ashwin Verma of abusive behaviour and said that he and Rupali were having an affair. Amidst this, Rupali’s on-screen brother in Anupamaa Mehul Nisar has come out in her support. Sharing pictures of himself with Rupali from the sets of Anupamaa, Mehul wrote, “Rups, I know you and I will always stand by you! I am with you, every step of the way! Proud of you!”

For those unaware, Mehul has remained absent from Anupamaa for a long time but has now returned to the show. His post proved that the two do not just share a camaraderie on screen but also a sweet bond in real life.

The controversy began after Esha’s 2020 post where she had accused Rupali of breaking up her parents resurfaced. She had even alleged Rupali gave death threats to her and her mothers. Following this, Ruali’s husband Ashwin Verma came out in her defence on X and noted that she had nothing to do with his divorce.

As the matter gained media attention, Esha told Bollywood Bubble, “I don’t know what Rupali and Ashwin will say now to these allegations and comments. I know my father has said something on X. He said that Rupali was not involved, and that is the biggest lie because Rupali was the one who came to my house in New Jersey. She has done so much, physically, mentally, verbally, and emotionally, abusing me and my mom.”

Among other allegations, Esha also mentioned that Rupali stole her mother’s jewellery and has published a new video claiming that she doesn’t feel safe anymore around Ashwin and Rupali.

Notably, Ashwin Verma and Rupali Ganguly tied the knot in 2013. Before this, Ashwin was married to Sapna. They share two daughters.
