Popular television actress Rupali Ganguly, known for her role in Anupamaa, recently shared a cryptic message on Instagram, sparking speculation about her emotional state as she navigates a public legal dispute with her stepdaughter, Esha Verma. Ganguly’s post, which read, “There are times when you need the silence of animals to recover from the noise of humans,” comes after she filed a defamation notice against Esha, seeking Rs 50 crore in damages.

The legal notice, served by Ganguly’s lawyer Sana Raees Khan, alleges that Esha made “false and injurious statements” against Rupali, which have caused harm to her character and professional reputation. Ganguly is also demanding an unconditional public apology. According to the notice, the actress was deeply disturbed by Esha’s social media posts and comments, which appeared on platforms like Twitter (now X), Instagram, and Facebook. Ganguly’s legal team asserts that the posts have led her to experience significant mental stress, affecting her work and reputation within the industry.

Reports suggest that Rupali initially chose to remain silent, hoping to maintain a dignified stance. However, when Esha’s comments reportedly began affecting her family, including Rupali and her husband Ashwin Verma’s 11-year-old son, she decided to take legal action. The actress claims that the intense scrutiny has not only affected her mental well-being but has also impacted her career, leading to a loss of work opportunities.

The notice also sheds light on Rupali and Ashwin Verma’s history. According to details in the document, Rupali and Ashwin were friends for over a decade before he separated from his second wife, Esha’s mother, in 2009. Additionally, the notice states that Rupali and Ashwin made efforts to support Esha’s entry into the entertainment industry by arranging photoshoots and auditions, displaying a willingness to nurture her career ambitions.

Esha Verma has yet to make a formal response to the defamation notice or the Rs 50 crore compensation claim. However, her initial statements have fueled an ongoing controversy, keeping both parties in the public eye.

As the case unfolds, Rupali’s post on “the noise of humans” appears to resonate with her current circumstances, with fans and media attempting to read between the lines. While no additional public statement has been made by the actress, her followers continue to express support and curiosity about the case’s outcome.
