Rupali Ganguly has been a household name with ‘Anupama’ for the last two-three years. After this show, she has become the highest paid TV actress. Everyone knows about professional life. But do you know that she is the second wife of her husband Ashwin Mehra? One of his two daughters from his first wife has exposed the actress on social media and expressed her anger. He has been accused of ruining his life. Recently, a Redditor shared an old post of Isha Verma, daughter of Ashwin K Mehra’s first wife. In the screenshot which is from four years ago, Esha Verma reveals the truth about Rupali’s marriage with her father Ashwin K Mehra. She accused the actress of having an extramarital affair with her father when she was just three years old. Isha even said that Rupali has separated her from her father Ashwin and does not allow her to talk to him.
Rupali Ganguly is the second wife of Ashwin Mehra.
The post reads, ‘This is absolutely pathetic. Does anyone know the real story of Rupali Ganguly? She had an affair with Ashwin K Verma for twelve years, while he was in his second marriage. Ashwin has two daughters from his previous marriage. She is nothing but a cruel hearted woman, who has done nothing but try to separate me and my sister from their father. Father lived in California and then New Jersey for about 13-14 years before coming to Mumbai.
Step daughter’s allegations against Rupali Ganguly
The post further read, ‘Whenever I try to call my father, Rupali starts shouting and threatening to kill me and my mother. This is not right, she ruined her father’s life and is publicizing that they had a love marriage while she has destroyed others to get what she wants. What does she want?

Now, on the basis of this post, it would be wrong to say anything about the relationship between Rupali and Ashwin with their first wife and children. Because both Rupali and Isha follow each other on Instagram. Not only this, Rupali had also liked a post of Isha’s parents. And the official name is also different from the name of the post. Not only this, Isha had also posted a lovely photo with Rupali and Ashwin.
Interview between Time.news Editor and Celebrity Culture Expert
Time.news Editor: Welcome, everyone. Today, we’re diving into the intriguing world of celebrity relationships and public perception. I’m thrilled to have with us Dr. Anita Sharma, a renowned expert in celebrity culture and media studies. Anita, thank you for joining us.
Dr. Anita Sharma: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to be here.
Editor: Let’s jump right in. Rupali Ganguly has struck a chord with audiences as the lead in ‘Anupama,’ and she has gained significant fame and financial success. But now there’s a more personal story unfolding about her marriage. What are your initial thoughts on the situation?
Dr. Sharma: Rupali’s skyrocketing fame comes with its set of complexities, especially when personal lives intersect with public perceptions. As you’ve mentioned, she has become a household name, so when allegations surface like these, they often trend much more heavily than they would for a lesser-known figure. It creates a fascinating but uncomfortable spectacle of personal drama in the public arena.
Editor: Absolutely. The allegations made by Ashwin Mehra’s daughter, Esha Verma, raise serious questions about family dynamics and personal vs. public personas. How do you see the impact of social media in these types of conflicts?
Dr. Sharma: Social media acts as a double-edged sword. On one hand, it provides a platform for individuals to voice their concerns, like Esha did, which can sometimes lead to accountability. On the other hand, it fuels a frenzy of speculation, gossip, and toxicity. In this case, it’s hard to separate the emotional weight of Esha’s statements about her father’s life and the public’s intrusive curiosity.
Editor: Right, and it seems to amplify not only the drama but also the scrutiny faced by public figures. What message do you think this sends to audiences, especially young viewers who idolize celebrities like Rupali?
Dr. Sharma: This scenario can send mixed messages. On one hand, it can discourage young fans from idolizing celebrities too much, as it reveals that their lives can be complex and messy. However, it can also inadvertently glamorize the chaos, drawing them into a narrative where drama is equated to entertainment. Encouraging critical thinking about celebrity culture is crucial.
Editor: So, there’s a double narrative at play—one that can critique and another that can contribute to a harmful cycle of celebrity worship?
Dr. Sharma: Exactly. It’s crucial for audiences to understand that celebrities are not infallible. They have personal challenges, failures, and tumultuous relationships just like anyone else. Encouraging a discerning approach can help mitigate the extreme reactions we often see, whether that be intense admiration or harsh condemnation.
Editor: That’s a great point. With Rupali now being among the highest-paid actresses, how do you think her professional success will influence the public’s perception of her personal life going forward?
Dr. Sharma: It’s interesting because professional success can sometimes overshadow personal transgressions or challenges, but in this case, it may complicate things. The higher she rises, the more her personal story is examined under a microscope. If she continues delivering stellar performances, it might soften public opinion about her personal controversies, but it remains to be seen how this current scandal will play out.
Editor: Thank you, Anita, for providing such deep insights into this situation. It’s a complex interplay of fame, personal life, and public opinion, and I appreciate your expertise in helping us navigate these issues.
Dr. Sharma: My pleasure! It’s an important conversation to have, especially in today’s media landscape.
Editor: And thank you to our audience for tuning in. Stay engaged as we continue to explore the intersection of celebrity culture and societal norms.
