ENTERTAINMENT: Recently, Esha Verma spoke about the backlash she faces after accusing her stepmother, Rupali Ganguly, of breaking her family.
In November 2024, Esha Verma made some serious claims against Rupali Ganguly. In response to Esha Verma's claims, Rupali also filed a defamation case against her stepdaughter. Recently, Esha has shared a video in which she was seen explaining that she is getting backlash and trolls from the public for speaking out against Rupali.
She said, "How hard and traumatising something you go through publicly affects someone. Some days you can be okay, and some days you are a complete wreck. You get scrutinised for wanting to speak up and get questioned, 'Where the fu*k did you go?’ When you have your own family, who wants to destroy you for just trying to live her life? I tried to be happy, but we don’t talk about these things."
Along with the video, Esha thanked those who had supported her and wrote in the caption: “I was a nepo baby kept in the shadows. I grew up with silence, confusion, and pain that wasn’t mine to carry. When the truth came out — expectedly and loudly — I was the one blamed. I was scared. I was unprotected. And instead of being supported, I was shamed. But after months of harassment, I am standing my ground.”
Esha Verma said that she expects that she will get the backlash regardless of how she feels, whether happy or sad. She said she is simply trying to live her life, but social media users persist in targeting her, often indulging in drama unrelated to them and supporting someone she describes as fictional. She expressed concern over the toxic nature of online behaviour and said she hopes others will not have to experience what she did. Esha also revealed that she is still mourning the emotional loss of her father, not through death, but through love.
