Rupali Ganguly made her television debut in 2000 with *Sukanya*, but it was the 2004 sitcom *Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai* that made her a household name. Afterward, the actress took a break in 2013, which lasted seven years, before returning to television with *Anupamaa* on Star Plus.
As per the Times of India, Rupali Ganguly became the highest-paid TV actress in 2023.
Rupali Ganguly married businessman Ashwin K Verma in 2013 after a long relationship. Ashwin, who had been married twice before, has two daughters. His youngest daughter, Esha, now lives in New Jersey and recently made headlines by accusing Rupali of distancing her from her father.
In defense of his wife, Ashwin took to social media to address the claims. However, shortly afterward, he posted a message on his Instagram story about first love. Surprisingly, the post was not about Rupali or his ex-wife.
The post was, in fact, dedicated to Ashwin’s mother. It featured a reel with Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves, praising mothers as their children’s first everything, from their first friend to their first teacher. The message shared in the reel was:
*”The best woman in the world, my life journey started with her. My first room (was) my mom’s womb. My first restaurant my mom’s breast, my first toilet my mom’s lap. My first school my mom’s kitchen. My first teacher my mom. My first doctor my mom. My first thermometer my mom’s finger. My first friend was my mom. My first dresser (was) my mom. My first vehicle my mom’s back. God bless all mothers if you love your mother, kindly share this video.”*
While Ashwin did not add a caption to his post, it is widely believed that the tribute was meant for his mother. The post, shared shortly after he defended Rupali against his daughter Esha’s accusations, has garnered significant attention. Esha had previously claimed that Rupali was involved with her father for 12 years while he was still married to her mother.
Esha called Rupali “psychotic” and “controlling” and accused her of threatening both Esha and her mother with death whenever they tried to reach Ashwin. In response to these allegations, Ashwin posted on X, stating:
*”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.”*
