Esha in a recent interaction with SpotboyE spoke about her horrific casting couch experiences she faced twice in her movie career. Esha said, “When I refused, the co-producer told the maker that he did not want to see me in the film. What am I doing on set? After this, some makers even refused to cast me in films. I had heard that these people used to say about me that if I won’t do anything then what is the point of taking me in the film?” The 37-year-old further narrated, “These two people tried to lay the trap of casting couch. I had understood their plan. They thought that I would fall into their trap. But I was smart and called my makeup artist to sleep in my room. Esha concluded by saying, “They cannot do these things with star kids because their parents will kill them. They think that if we need work then we can get anything done”.
Esha has participated in the Miss India contest in 2007 and also competed in Miss India International. She was hailed as the desi Angelina Jolie due to resemblance with the Hollywood star. The actress got the bold tag due to her steamy lovemaking scenes with Emraan in Jannat 2 and Raaz 3.
