Esha Deol Reveals Mom Hema Malini’s Reaction to Dhoom Bikini Scene: Esha Deol is currently in a happy space as her short film Ek Dua got a special mention at the 69th National Film Awards in non-feature film category. The actress in a recent interview with Zoom reflected on her acting journey and past career choices. A few months ago, Esha had spoken about how she sought her mother Hema Malini’s permission to wear a bikini in Aditya Chopra’s action-thriller Dhoom. The film was a makeover for her as she had earlier only done girl-next-door characters.

Esha, in her latest interview said, “Of course I had to take permission from my mum about (the bikini). I feel I needed to take it, but when I went and asked, she asked me, ‘Are you seriously asking me something like this. Don’t you go on holidays with friends and wear a bikini on a beach?’ and I know that the people who I was shooting with, I was in good hands.” She further added, “It was one of the most lovely, fun scripts ever, and the role of Sheena was very much resonating with me; tough chick, bindaas, and bold. Somewhere, I am still that. I was all of that and of course I had to look toned and work out. I have always been athletic, and genetically, I have been blessed with a good physique I feel, so I had to just work harder on that and achieve what my producer Aditya Chopra wanted and the audience loved it.”

Esha was recently seen in the web series Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega.
