New Delhi: Anupamaa actress Rupali Ganguly has been at the centre of a family controversy. A recently resurfaced social media post from four years ago by Esha Verma, her husband Ashwin K Mehra’s daughter from his first marriage, has sparked public discussion. In the post, Esha accuses the Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai actress of having an affair with her father, Ashwin, before they married—an accusation that has left fans shocked and intrigued.
What are the allegations made by Esha Verma?
Esha’s post claims that Rupali began an affair with Ashwin while he was still married to Esha’s mother, Priyanka Mehra, and that this relationship ultimately fractured her family. According to her, the alleged affair dates back to when she was just three years old.
In her post, Esha wrote, “She [Rupali] has had an affair with Ashwin K Mehra for twelve years while he was in his second marriage.” Esha also alleges that Rupali has actively tried to distance her and her sister from their father, causing strain and pain within their family.
Adding some more weight to her claims, Rupali’s stepdaughter shared unsettling details about the actress’ behaviour towards her. She alleged that the Anupamaa star has threatened her with “death threats” whenever she tries to contact her father, claiming that her actions have driven a wedge between Ashwin and his daughters. Notably, Esha’s comment paints Rupali as a “cruel-hearted woman” who “ruined lives” to pursue her relationship with Ashwin.

However, a look at Esha and Rupali’s Instagram activity tells a different story. Interestingly, Esha follows Rupali on Instagram, and Rupali has liked several posts featuring Ashwin with his first wife, Priyanka, and their daughters. This social media connection raises questions about the current relationship dynamics within the family.
Rupali Ganguly, who is known for her portrayal of the dedicated and moralistic Anupamaa on-screen, has always shared insights about her loving relationship with Ashwin, often presenting a picture of a happy, stable marriage. As of now, neither Rupali Ganguly or Ashwin Mehra has commented on this viral post.
