Mumbai. ‘Anupama’ fame Rupali Ganguly has filed a defamation case against her step daughter Isha Verma. Isha has accused Rupali of breaking her parents’ marriage. Isha is the daughter of Rupali’s husband Ashwin K Verma and his first wife. Isha alleged that Rupali tortured both her and her mother mentally, emotionally and physically. Rupali initially remained silent on all these allegations. Her husband Ashwin issued a statement and clarified this. Now Rupali has broken her silence.
Rupali Ganguly has decided to give a direct reply to Isha Verma’s allegations. Rupali has filed the case on November 11 with the help of her legal advisor celebrity lawyer Sana Raees Khan. Sana has also been a contestant of ‘Bigg Boss 17’. A compensation of Rs 50 crore has been demanded in the case. He said that Isha’s claims have unfairly tarnished Ganguly’s personal and professional reputation.
According to Sana Khan’s legal team, Rupali decided to take this action when Isha made comments on her 11 year old son. Rupali could not tolerate this. Sana’s team explained the reason behind the legal action, “We have issued a defamation notice to her step daughter in response to her false and harmful statements.”
The team said, “Rupali Ganguly stands strongly against the use of defamatory tactics for publicity and has taken this legal action to protect her image from baseless claims. The purpose of these baseless allegations was to damage Rupali’s image and take advantage of her public popularity. These actions of Isha have not only tarnished her image but have also defamed her personal and professional personality.”
