Rupali Ganguly files a defamation case against her stepdaughter

The Anupamaa actress hired celebrity lawyer Sana Raees Khan, who was also a contestant on Bigg Boss 17 to file a defamation suit against her stepdaughter. Sana confirmed the news to Times Now/Telly Talk India and revealed that Rupali Ganguly decided to take this case to court when Esha Verma dragged her 11-year-old son into this.  

Sana Raees Khan's team said in a media statement, "We have issued a defamation notice to her stepdaughter in response to her false and damaging statements as Rupali Ganguly firmly stands against the use of defamatory tactics for Publicity and she has taken this legal step to protect her reputation from unfounded claims. These baseless allegations were clearly intended to harm Rupali Ganguly’s reputation and capitalize on her public standing. Such actions have not only caused emotional distress but have also unfairly tarnished her personal and professional integrity."

She also called the Anupamaa actress 'cruel-hearted' and held her responsible for separating her family.

Rupali Ganguly married Ashwin Verma in 2013, and they have a son, Rudransh.
