Rupali Ganguly sends legal notice


Rupali Ganguly recently slapped Esha Verma with a legal notice seeking Rs 50 crore in damages following the allegations. Esha had accused the actress of having an affair with her father, a claim that she later deleted after facing legal action. Esha also made her Instagram account private.


Meanwhile, Rupali continues to dominate television screens with her portrayal of the titular character in Anupamaa, a role that has earned her widespread acclaim and helped the show consistently top the TRP charts.
