Esha Deol, who made her acting comeback with Ajay Devgn’s streaming series Rudra: The Edge of Darkness (2022), is eager to do more diverse roles as she enters a new phase in her career. Esha recently got divorced from her husband of 11 years, Bharat Takhtani. In a recent interview, she recalled that what she said years ago about failure and self reflection doesn’t “resonate” with who she is today. When reminded about her appearance on the popular celebrity chat show Koffee with Karan almost two decades ago, she said that she can’t remember ever saying that she was self-reflective about failure.
Reacting to this, Esha said in an interview with India Today, “I said this back then? I don’t know why I spoke and gave so much philosophy then. I am getting myself in trouble with what I said then. I don’t think it resonates to what I am today.”
However, Esha remembered what she wore for the show. She shared how she ditched glamorous outfits and donned a salwar-kameez because she was aware that her father, Dharmendra, would be watching the episode when it airs, and for that, she wanted to be “well dressed.”
She reminisced, “I have to go back and watch that interview because I don’t really remember what I said. I remember it being a fun, spontaneous interview and the main thing I remember is also that I wore a salwar-kurta and Karan (Johar) was like (shows amused expression) and I was like, ‘Maybe dad watches this, I better be well dressed’. So I made Rocky (celebrity fashion designer Rocky S) make a salwar-kurta for me.”
In an earlier interview with indianexpress.com, Esha had shared how Dharmendra was against her becoming an actor even though his sons Bobby and Sunny Deol were already stars. She had explained how her father was “possessive and orthodox” when it came to her, and that according to him, “Girls should be kept away from the world in a protected way”.
She had said, “I wouldn’t say that they have it tough. Yes, there is a different level of challenge and boys too have their own set. As far as my father is concerned, he is possessive and orthodox, and for him, girls should be kept away from the world in a protected way. That was what he must have felt, also knowing how our industry functions. All said and done, we managed and how!”
