Rupali Ganguly's Marriage to Ashwin Verma
Rupali Ganguly married Ashwin Verma in 2013, and the couple welcomed a son in the same year. Ashwin has two daughters from his previous marriages, with Esha being the youngest.
Esha's Allegations
In a 2020 post, Esha Verma accused Rupali of having a long-term affair with Ashwin while he was still married to Esha's mother. Esha claimed Rupali is "cruel-hearted" and tried to separate her and her sister from their father.
Esha's Concerns
Esha stated, "I’m speaking out because she claims all over the media that she has a happy marriage with my dad, when in reality she’s controlling and psychotic towards him." She alleged that Rupali yells threats whenever she tries to contact Ashwin.

Who is Ashwin Verma and How He Reacted
Ashwin Verma is a prominent figure in the advertising industry. He was previously married twice, first to a woman whose name is not widely known and then to Sapna Verma, who was crowned Miss Karnataka in 1986. The couple divorced in 2008 after having two daughters together.
In Esha’s response, Ashwin shared an Instagram post, expressing concern for her feelings regarding her parents' separation. He acknowledged, "I do have two daughters from previous relationships, something Rupali and I have always been open about that I care a great deal about. I understand that my younger daughter still holds a lot of hurt about the dissolution of her parent's relationship, as divorce is a difficult experience that can greatly affect and harm the children of that marriage. But marriages end for many reasons, and my relationship with my second wife had multiple challenges that led to our separation—challenges that were between she and I and that had nothing to do with any other person. I only want the best for my children and my wife, and it saddens me to see anyone being pulled into cycles of negativity by the media."
