What can I do with a face that God has given



She had a new hairdo, worked out to shed that flab and slipped into a sexy attire. Yes, Dhoom had reinvented Esha. So what's next? Is the Deol darling heading for another change! She says it all.

Why is a pretty girl like you playing a ghost?
(Laughing aloud) I am playing a pretty ghost and it was fun doing that role. What excited me was the fact that I could do and see things that no one could see or do.
I play a secretary to Fardeen, who is a married man. We have an affair and I become pregnant but due to a mishap, I die. However, since I am a discontented soul with an 'unfinished business' I return to haunt him.

Wasn't it intimidating to portray the part of a ghoul?
See if you are nice towards the ghost, the ghost will also be good to you. (giggling) As for playing the character, it was not scary but it was very taxing.
I would be drained emotionally and physically after doing a scene because it is not as easy as enacting a normal character. Yet I had a blast just doing something that I have never ever done otherwise. I only hope it is liked by both angels and ghosts. (laughing)

Does that mean you are open to experimenting with characters?
I would love to do various kinds of roles. I love the way Darling was scripted and has been edited by Ram Gopal Varma. It is a fast-moving film and Ramu insisted that I have a plain but gorgeous look.

This is the first time you have worked with RGV, who is known for bringing out the best from his cast. What was your experience?
I always wanted to work with Ramu and while doing Darling, I realised how good he is at his work. Actually I don't have to even say it as his films speak for themselves but I understood that he is there to capture you in your elements, when you are in a character and he is so excellent that inevitably you become good in his company. He is honest, blunt and a pleasant person to get along with as well. When he approached me with this subject, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

Darling is your fifth film with Fardeen...
He has improved a lot as far as his acting is concerned. What has really kept fluctuating over the years is his weight. (Chuckling) But in Darling, he is back to looking hot and happening.

You have known each other since your childhood. What kind of relationship do you share now that you are working partners?
Fardeen and I have always been great friends and whenever we are together, we have a blast. We are known for our one-liners on the sets and by the time we were doing Just Married, our fourth film together, we had spoken and fought about everything under the sun so that there was nothing to talk about any more. We were so bored of each other that we stopped acknowledging each other. But again on the sets of Darling, we were back to our usual selves, bickering and teasing one another. Fardeen is a very helpful guy.

In Ankahee, you played Kavya, a negative character obsessed with a married man. Were you comfortable doing that role?
I loved my work in the film as it was a very different character and I got to do something very diverse. I was appreciated for it. For my good work, I always give credit to my directors, who mould me. I have enjoyed doing most of my films like No Entry, Yuva, Dhoom, Kaal. But there are also some films wherein I have hated myself.

Which are they?
Cash, for one.
Everything. Honestly. When it was narrated to all of us, it sounded like a very interesting subject. The shooting also went off well and we even worked hard. I guess things went wrong on the editing table. There was no growth of any of the characters and none of us was happy with the ultimate result. Moreover the controversy that occurred during the time of the release hyped it even further. But it was a dud. I hated that film.

Till date, you have mostly featured in multi-starrers. Aren't you apprehensive about getting lost in the ensemble?
By the time I came into the scene, mostly multi-starrers were being made so I had no choice. Moreover it is fun to be a part of a big team and also you are not entirely blamed for the failure. (Chortling) Now the Kunal Shivdasani-directed Shiney Ahuja starrer Hijack and Mahesh Bhatt's Jannat have only me in the female lead.

What are the other films in your kitty?
I have One Two Three, a multi-starrer with a very hilarious script and Golmaal Returns, another comedy.

What prompted you to do an 'item' number in Kumar Mangat's Sunday?
What I have done is a classy number shot very well and with no jhatkas matkas. For the dancer in me, it was quite a satisfying experience. Dhoom machale dhoom from Dhoom was highly appreciated so much so that it has become the national anthem of the industry but tell me, for how long can I keep doing it? This was the reason I refused Beedi jalaile... from Omkara. Not many know that it was first offered to me but I was apprehensive about playing a prostitute. And, today the film and especially the song is a blast all over.

For Dhoom, you reinvented yourself. Are you planning to experiment with your looks for any of your forthcoming films?
What can I do with a face that God has given me? All I can change is my hairstyle but excess use of hair-dryer is ruining my hair and I think two years from now I shall become completely bald (chuckling). I am working out and my dance is keeping me fit. Other than that I don't believe in other ways of changing myself.

Lately you are seen in advertisements also.
It took me a long time to get into endorsements as I felt I should fit into the brand. I would not like to sell something that I won't use myself. I am happy with my Kent RO and Garnier ads.

In your seven years in the industry and 20 films to your credit how do you feel when you look back today?
Frankly speaking, my journey so far has been bumpy. I was a kaccha nimbu, when I came but people forgave me for my mistakes and accepted me open-heartedly. Now I am taking extra efforts to do better. I am selective and am choosing only good subjects. When I started I was really young, but now I know the tricks of the trade. Yet I take up every new film with the enthusiasm of a newcomer.

How does your mother feel about your work?
My mom is happy for me. She is always there to help me but now I make my own decisions and she respects that.

Have you seen Apne? What did you think of your father?
I was oblivious to everything except my father in the film. I saw only him. I love my dad and miss him a lot. It was after a long time that he was back on the big screen and it meant a lot to him. You can see the effort he has put into the film and it has worked in his favour. (Tears well up her eyes) You see, just mentioning him makes me emotional and he is the only man who can make me cry.

Esha Deol would love to marry Vivek Oberoi

Filed under: All News
Posted: Sept 18th 2006 by Aryan Mishra

Esha has a crush on Vivek Oberoi and this Deol girl has no qualms with admitting it. The duo has worked together in movies in the past-‘Yuva’, ‘Kaal’ and ‘Pyare Mohan’, but they have never been paired opposite each other.

Recently, in one of her interview Esha admitted that her parents were looking around for her perfect bridegroom, but if she was given a choice she would like to settle down with Vivek Oberoi as he is a completely down to earth and a very religious individual.

According to Esha, these qualities are very rare in guys and Vivek fits the bill of being her Mr. Right.

Esha and Vivek workout at the same gym ‘Barbarian’ in the Mumbai suburbs and their instructor Satya is rumoured to be trying to play a cupid. Looks like Vivek is in sudden demand; first Sushma and now Esha, looks like many ‘Pyaris’ are behind this Mohan.

Dancing is my first love: Esha

Esha Deol is all set to hone her dancing skills. She is flying to the United States to enroll at a dance academy in February. And wow, Esha is going solo too! Most often accompanied by her mother, this time she’s set to live alone for two months. She can barely believe it herself.

Says Esha, “Even Aahna is not coming with me. I am going all alone. Yes, two months is a long time to be away from the family. It took me some time to take this decision, but I think it is necessary. I have two months free now. I have completed my work for Sunday and Hijack, so I thought I should utilize the time and do something worthwhile.”

Talking about her upcoming trip, Esha says, “I just can’t wait to go to the US. Dancing is my first love. After all, how long can one go on with those same old jhatkas and matkas in films? I want to learn some new dance forms, like jazz and ballet, at the dance academy (name withheld by request) and use them in my films later.”

Esha also tells us that her mother is working on a new ballet Ganga. “Mummy has performed 12 ballets. This will be her 13th one. She is doing a lot of research and appointing choreographers and musicians.”

Esha, Hema and Aahna will return to their bungalow at Juhu around June-July, after she returns (right now they’re living in Gurgaon). “The work is in progress there. Four floors are ready. We may add two more... We will keep the entire building to ourselves,” she says.

As a kid, Esha learnt Bharat Natyam and went for dance concerts with mom.

ESHA DEOL



BABY D

Esha D walked into Bollywood scene in 2002. She had a formindable list of successes in the family. Dad Dharmendra is a legend, so is her beautiful mother, Hema. Her step-brothers Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol have seen a lot of success in films. However, bollywood is a funny place. You may have the best connections, the best films lined up, but unless the public accepts you by making your movies a success, you are nowhere. Several star children have fallen by the wayside, and unconnected newcomers have risen to great heights.

Baby D - Esha, looks good, acts well and is able to bag prestigious films, all she needs is a string of successes and critical acclaim to be able to call herself established.

ASK MY HEART

Her debut was good. She had Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche which was loosely based on Sleeping with the Enemy, but the box office refused to sleep with this film. She starred with Aftab Shivdasani who was riding the tidal wave thanks to Mast.

Her next was a romantic movie with Hritik the hearthrob, Na Tum Jano Na Hum. It was a dream project but Hritik was on a downslide and the movie flopped.

Kya Dil Ne Kahaa co-starred Esha with Tusshar. Tusshar was smiling post the success of Mujhe Kuch Kehna hai. This movie had the hit number Nikamma Kiya Is Dil ne, and it had a good look too. Set in Australia, it was to appeal to the NRI crowd too. But it did not do good business.

SOMETHING'S UP

Kucch To Hai was a mystery thriller in the mold of I know what you did last summer. It was about a bunch of schoolkids out to solve a mystery. Esha costarred again with Tusshar and the Ekta it-girl, Natasha. The movie had several good songs that were all over the music charts. Tere ishq ki dewaangi sar pe chadh ke bole was a big hit. The movie enjoyed moderate success.

Up next was the Zayed Khan debut film Chura Liya Hai Tumne. Again, a mystery flick. The action was set in Bangkok and had some good songs. Mohabbat hai mirchi featured Zayed and Rakhi, but Boys are best had Zayed with Esha. Alas, the movie did not do well.


LOVE AND WAR

LOC Kargil was the JP Dutta opus on the Kargil war. But to increase the poignancy factor there were profiles of the dear ones of the soldiers who have to suffer heartbreak when their men are killed in war. Esha played the girlfriend of Vikram Batra, one of the martyrs of the war.

Mani Ratnam has a magic wand that makes all his actors perform better in his movies than they do elsewhere. In Yuva, Esha had the bold role of a young teacher who is willing to flout norms of society and live with the man she adores. In a spunky gesture she picks up her baggage and moves in with Ajay Devgan. The wonderful Adnan Sami/Alka Yagnik number Badal jo aaye was picturised on Esha just when she has been proposed to by Ajay Devgan. She put in a good performance.

A STRING OF SUCCESSES

Dhoom was a bollywood movie with a difference. It was slick, fast, short and almost hollywoodian. Esha had a complete makeover here. So far she had played a teenager in romantic movie, the kinda girl you can take home to your mother. Here she lost weight, toned her body, put on a bronze makeup, wore skimpy clothes and plyed the hottie of the movie. The title megahit song, Dhoom was picturised on her, and she played the love interest of Uday Chopra. She even had the 'venus rising out of the waves' scene where she walks out of the ocean in a swimsuit - alas - a one peice. Dhoom was the first major success that Esha tasted.

Insaan, the insane movie containing many many stars, Esha played the girlfriend of Akshay Kumar, who played a muslim autorickshaw driver. Their story was the best of the lot.

Kaal was a prestigious project, a Karan Johar film and supposedly a jungle horror. Esha played John Abraham's girlfriend and scared the wild animals by wearing skimpy clothes. The movie was moderately successful.

Main Aisa Hi Hoon featured Esha as the spaced out wife of Ajay Devgan. The movie was a take off on Sam I am. Not a huge success though Esha's good performance was noted.

Dus again had Esha as an undercover criminal. She wore grim faces and hot clothes. She falls for Abhishek and helps him out at the end of the movie. The movie was a success, being a fast-paced action flick.

PART OF THE BIG PICTURE

In No Entry our little girl played the pious wife of Salman Khan who is a compulsive flirt. The movie was one of biggest hits of 2005 and being a part of that helped.

Shaadi No 1 was similar in story to No Entry, all about straying husbands and wives who seek to outwit them. However this multistarring movie did not work.

Pyaare Mohan was a fun movie with lots of comedy and silly sequences. Esha was paired with Fardeen Khan. The movie did not do well but was well appreciated.

Ankahee was the Vikram Bhatt movie about (allegedly) his own affair with Sushmita Sen. Esha plays a tempramental beauty queen who becomes obsessed with her married lover. The movie flopped though Esha's performance was acclaimed.

CURRENT YEAR - 2007

This year started out with Just Married with Fardeen. It met with the same fate as the Titanic, not the movie, the ship!

Cash was slated as the next Dus. But the plot went haywire, the movie confused and confounded the viewers. The majority stayed away from the cinema halls.

Darling was the RGV release with Fardeen again. But failed to endear anyone.

FUTURE TENSE

Although Esha is seen as a good-looker who performs creditably, she hasnt tasted awesome success. She is still young in the filmdom and may be able to get a project that proves her worth soon.

Golmaal Returns is the remake of the hilarious and madcap Golmaal. Esha has bagged the project, and if the II is any good as I it may just shake the boxoffice tree.

GOSSSSSIP

The Deols are known to be very protective of their womenfolk. It is said that Esha is too scared to strip or kiss in films because she fears her father. All the raunchier dances in her films (Mohabbat hai Mirchi, Ding Dong) have been performed by others (Rakhi Sawant, Natasha).

Her mother is still very successful even when she appears in mother roles, and is still seen as more beautiful than her daughters.

So far, no gossip about Esha has leaked out. Either she is a very good girl, or she is very good at hiding facts.

"I think ghosts are normal entities" - Esha Deol


By Subhash K. Jha, September 6, 2007 - 10:56 IST

Download image as wallpaper

Esha Deol loved playing a bhoot in Ram Gopal Varma's Darling. "I think ghosts are normal entities. Ramu made it a point not to make the ghost in-your-face spooky. But it did get scary especially in our new house in Goregaon. When mom wasn't around I'd look anxiously under the bed to spot spooks. Fortunately, doing Darling was fun. You can't call it a horror film. My character goes through so many changes. Ramu edits the film in his head before he starts. He knows exactly what he wants. Like Mani Ratnam."

Ramu and Esha hit it off very well. "He's not one of those directors who don’t know which direction to go into. And then you end up stuck…and stupid."

She's of course hinting at the disaster that was Anubhav Sinha's Cash. Esha sighs, "On the script level it sounded so good. It's so sad that when one isn't able to execute such a zany idea. When I saw the film I couldn't understand it. All of us in the cast were quite put off by the outcome. …Look, just because I was in the film I can’t go ooh and aah. One can't fool the audience. I think you should ask Anubhav Sinha what went wrong. When we were shooting everything was fine. He took a lot of care with certain sequences. At the end of it there was nothing. I still don't know what happened to the diamond at the end."

On a brighter note she got along famously with her co-star Shamita Shetty. "She's a very nice girl. All South Indians are nice girls," she jokes impishly. "Shamita and I were together away from home in Cape Town for a long time. She was cool. We gymed together. She has the best abs right now. Mine? I'm bored with mine. Of course I'll continue with my fitness level. But it isn't obsession. It's a habit. If I don't work-out I don’t feel right. "

Esha's sister Ahana doesn't work out. "But she dances, and like my mom that keeps her really fit. Ahana is a laid- back girl. She's still to make up her mind about what to do." Esha continues, "I loved playing Geeta in Darling. I appreciate the fact that he considered me for a role like this….It's an eccentric part, yes. I enjoy playing traumatized parts. That gives me a high."

She’s done a series of not-so-great films with her Darling co-star Fardeen Khan. "We work well together. We share a great rapport. I've known Fardeen for a very long time. He’s a good friend…Though people think I'm too aloof to be friendly."

Esha's next release is a midair thriller called Hijack with Shiny Ahuja. "He plays my knight in shining armour. It's an action thriller directed by Kunal Shivdasani. People said I should do something realistic. So here I am. I'm also doing a film called Jannat with Mahesh Bhatt. "

Talk veers to Ram Gopal Varma's Aag released just a week earlier. Did she regret not playing Basanti? "Are you mad? There can't be another Sholay. And there can't another Basanti…after my mom."

I want to do women-centric roles now: Esha

3 Jul 2008

Esha Deol's care a damn attitude is passe. Today, the lady has matured and confesses that she was a real brat when she stepped into Bollywood at the age of 18.

Since then, Esha has been through different phases in her profession. This girl with washboard abs had taken a short break from films, but now is back to work. Soon she will be seen playing an air hostess in Kunal Shivdasani's action flick Hijack. She tells NT her reasons for going slow on the career front and the roles she would like to essay, even as she goes gaga over her gorgeous mom.

Deliberate decision

Giving reasons for her hiatus from work, she says, "It was a conscious decision. I wasn't getting any interesting offers and I didn't want to thrust myself on my fans by doing insignificant films. So, I made a trip to Chicago and London to brush up my skills in ballet dancing. I also loafed around the streets there - something I cannot do on the roads of Mumbai. I also experimented with different dietary regimes (of course not to lose any more weight) and read a lot of good scripts. When I was not doing any of these things, I was kick boxing."

Glam mom, possessive dad

Talking about the industry's dream girl and her mother Hema Malini, Esha says, "Mom comes across as a person who is very strict, but she is the coolest mom. As a teenager, I was quite bindaas. I would be out dancing and partying till the wee hours. Mom would just keep a watch on my activities, but she never nagged or questioned me. She actually pesters us to go out and discover new restaurants, encourages us to try out new shades of lipstick and even discusses guys with us."

And how does she feel having such a glamourous mom? "When we are together at any of the parties, she is the one who gets the maximum number of compliments. It really makes me happy," says Esha. And what about her dad? "He's a very protective and caring father, and keeps calling me during the shoots to discuss what I am doing. I think I am blessed," she says.

Pals in industry

In an industry where people wouldn't leave a chance to pull the rug from under your feet, who does she consider to be her real friends? "It is really difficult to find friends here. But, I have been lucky to have friends like Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan, Uday Chopra and Tusshar Kapoor. But, when it comes to discussing the girlie stuff, I do it with my old-time friends Chilarna, Natasha and Payal," says she.

Prince charming

Hema Malini has said it in quite a few interviews that she's looking for a suitable match for her daughter. Ask Esha about this and she says, "Main ladka nahin dhoond rahi hoon, isliye woh hi dhoond rahi hain. I haven't come across anyone interesting as yet." Ask her about her dream man and she says, "My man should make my heart go pitter-patter and there should be strong chemistry between us."

Dream role

The actress has played a sexy siren in Dhoom, a distressed damsel in Ankahee and a revengeful ghost in Darling. Now Esha's ready to experiment with different genres. "I want to do women-centric roles now. I would love to work in films like Khuda Kay Liye, Taare Zameen Par and Aamir."

In the same breath she adds, “It doesn’t mean that I am through with commercial cinema. I have grown up watching Govinda's films, and now I will soon be working with him as his leading lady. In fact, I must share a little secret with you. As an eight-year-old girl, I had written a fan mail to him."

Kumaar
Shiney Ahuja, Esha Deol, Kaveri Jha and Mona Ambegaonkar

HIJACK is an action thriller with lots of drama and so it certainly provides ample scope to its new music directors Justin-Uday and the lyricist Kumaar to enchant us music lovers with some racy, thrilling music. The musical success of most Abbas Mustan and Sanjay Gupta films (irrespective of box-office success) is a testimony to the above stated fact. The EROS Entertainment presentation HIJACK has Shiney Ahuja playing the main lead and one must add here that the actor has been associated with some chartbusters and quality music in the past. Be, it HAZARON KHWAISHEN AISI, GANGSTER, WOH LAMHE or BHOOL BHULAIYYA, songs featuring Shiney have clicked in a big way. So, let us see if the trend continues and also checkout what the new team has in store for us.

Single string guitar strums and Abhijeet style singing by Kay Kay (in the beginning) commences 'Aksar', which features as many as four times in the album. The start gives the impression of a mushy love ballad but it later changes gears and converts into a breezy romantic track. And needless to add that it is in the same corridor (not copied though) as Shiney's hit track 'Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai' from WOH LAMHE. The new composers certainly know their music and it shows through the superb orgasmic guitar strumming which can be likened to the legendary Dire Straits. It relies heavily on guitar and when it hits the high string shriller notes, it is a treat.

The 'unplugged' version is another delightful acoustic outing with the arrangements being light and more reverberating. Shaan is exemplary in a track which is once again guitar dominated (in the background) along with some plates and bead sounds.

Racy rhythm, lots of guitar strumming in the background and membranic thumps (via electronic percussions) add zest to the 'remixed' version which is suitable for clubs and discos.

Shaan gives his own distinctive touches to the 'sad' version aided by some slow drawl violin. The following guitar piece (which is simply superlative) and Shaan's 'full of feelings singing' with subtle nuances and voice modulation takes the song to a new high. His distinctive trademark croonings standout and the best part of the 'sad' version is that the racy and breezy original has been slowed just appropriately to make it a delightful hearing experience.

Next up is 'Dekh Dekh', a deadly and rhythmic dance track which has the queen of item number Sunidhi Chauhan holding center stage along with Suraj Jagan and Joi. The song will definitely be patronized by the GenX if promoted well. Sunidhi is in full form in a song that brings the thrill aspects of the movie to the fore. The song in part reminds us of (may be unintentionally) Mithun Chakraborthy's 'Yeh Raat Mein Jo Nasha Hai' (KASAM PAIDA KARNEWAALE KI) and also incorporates Pritam's style! The heavy use of western music addendums like drums, plates, synthesizers lend the desired thriller touch and makes the listener (as the lyrics say) 'Move your body'. The only minus point is that the tune is a much heard before one and so are the lyrics.

All work and no hype for Esha!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 20, 2008 6:06:23 PM IST
Rachana, Bollywood Trade News Network

The bubbly looking Esha Deol has always been in the forefront in promoting her films. Be it a promotional dance number or addressing to the media she always took keen interest in endorsing her films.

But this time the pretty lass is maintaining a relatively low profile for her upcoming release HIJACK starring Shiney Ahuja alongside. Can one believe that the girl who left no stones unturned in promoting her flicks like DHOOM, KAAL, CASH, recent one being ONE TWO THREE is now keeping a silence for HIJACK.

Seems like this time Esha has preferred to sit back quiet instead of getting into hype & hoopla and let the movie take-off.

Chak De girl steps in Esha's shoes
BollywoodHungamaNewsNetwork
Posted online: Thursday , August 28, 2008 at 1039 hrs

Among the whole bunch of girls who acted in Chak De India alongside SRK, probably the one who managed to draw maximum eyeballs was Sagarika Ghatge. Sagarika, who played the gutsy character of Preeti Sabarwal, also emerged as the highest goal-scorer in the film.
Now it seems Sagarika has managed to strike a goal in her real life too. The actress has been signed by Percept Picture Company for their film Raftaar (working title). The film is directed by noted ad film maker Shamin Desai. Sagarika will be paired opposite serial-kisser Emraan Hashmi in the film. What is interesting is the fact that the role which Sagarika has been signed for was to be originally played by Esha Deol.

When we got in touch with Sarita Patil, Head of feature films at Percept Picture Company, to get some more info on this story. “Yes we have signed Sagarika for Raftaar. She has replaced Esha Deol as we couldn’t agree on the price. After things didn’t work out with Esha, we had a couple of options in mind and our director Shamin had seen Sagarika’s work in Chak De India and felt she would fit the part. Sagarika’s is a full-fledged lead role opposite Emraan Hashmi.”

The film also stars Neha Dhupia and Aditya Panscholi in prominent roles. Shooting for the film is currently underway in Kuala Lumpur and the film is expected to release sometime early next year (2009)

Guitar girl
By: Upala KBRDate: 2008-09-03
Mumbai:
Esha Deol believes in working an extra bit harder for her roles. After learning kick-boxing for Cash, she's learning to play the guitar for Shivam Nair's next, Exchange Offer opposite Rahul Bose.

Esha says, "Learning to play the guitar is the toughest thing on earth. It's easier to prepare for an action film. I have been learning to play the instrument from Raju, an acclaimed guitarist, who was scouted out by the producers, PVR. I've never played a guitar in my life - even in my college days. It's very difficult. I squint half the time trying to look at the strings; apart from the fact that my fingers hurt."
In the family

Esha says she initially thought of faking the guitar-playing scenes on screen but director Shivam advised her against it. "I also thought why not learn it like I have learnt to dance to jazz? I can't sit idle for long. It can always come in handy some time and I have a fine ear for sur and taal. I have been practicing every day for an hour. The first tune that I mastered in the first couple of days was the Ek Haseena Thi tune from Subhash Ghai's Karz. I also want to learn how to play Dilbar Mere from Satte Pe Satta. It's my mom's song and my favourite."

50 saal baad

But Esha says it will take a long time to master that tune. "The way I am going, I will learn to play the tune when I am 50!" Esha laughs and adds, "But I must say both mom and my sister Ahana have been very encouraging. Mom learnt to play the sitar while Ahana's been learning the guitar for a long time."

Esha's next release is Kunal Shivdasani's Hijack which releases this week where she's paired with Shiney Ahuja. Esha says, "I am not paired romantically opposite him. We do share certain chemistry in our scenes. I play a gutsy airhostess but when the plane gets hijacked, I stay cool and calm. My passengers' safety comes first. We had great fun shooting for the film in Mauritius."

‘It would be fun not to have male actors’Sujata Chakrabarti
Saturday, September 06, 2008 23:59 IST

Actor Esha Deol says she’s bored of typical Bollywood masala films and is ready for some cutting-age cinema.



Quite contrary to the oomph image she exudes on screen, Esha Deol can quite baffle you with her persona when you first meet her. “At home, they know I have a split personality. There is this side of me that is flamboyant when I meet people and interact; I am loud, bold and bratty. But at home, I am spiritual and disciplined. Maintaining multi-images comes very naturally to me.”

Compliment Esha on her toned and envious figure and she won’t give you the standard Bollywood one-liners about good metabolism and fantastic genes. Instead she says, “It is very difficult to maintain this figure. You are so enthusiastic when you set yourself a target, but when you achieve it, maintaining it becomes a monotonous routine.”

And all thanks to her athletic image, she seems to be the director’s choice when it comes to casting actors for action films. However, Esha admits that she is quite bored of regular Bollywood masala movies and wants to don a different garb altogether. She says, “I have made huge mistakes in selecting films earlier. You know how newcomers in the industry are? All starry eyed! Along the years, Indian cinema is changing and I too want to broaden my horizon.”

Esha wants to step into new and experimental cinema, preferably those that have women-centric scripts. She is also looking forward to mom Hema’s revival of their home production that will see beti in several new avatars on the screen. She says, “As an actor, of course I will be understood better. After all, your family understands you best. We surveyed the situation and realised that producers in the industry today are quite prosperous. I belong to a very creative family. It is time now to cash in on that fact.”

Speculations are rife that an earlier Hema Malini project that was to shoot Esha and veteran actress Rekha together did not see the light of the day as most male actors approached for the film backed out, feeling there was little for them in a project dominated by two women. Ask Esha if that’s true, and she laughs. “It is not necessary that every project will work out as planned. Having said that, it would be fun not to have male actors around. Hopefully, that day will come when I am still around in the industry.”

Her most recent release, Kunal Shivdasani’s Hijack, sees Esha playing the role of an air hostess caught in a mid-air crisis. So does this role satisfy Esha’s creative potential? She says, “There was nothing much to be done apart from acting like a level-headed and composed woman through out the panic situation. After all, you can’t change much about that profession.”

I prefer a Live-In relationship: Esha Deol

September 11th, 2008

ESHA DEOL tells JYOTHI VENKATESH that when she flaunted her bikini, it worked in her favor in Dhoom

Q.You have never been media savvy like your mother Hema Malini!

A.I have always maintained a very low profile as an actor because basically I am a bit of an introvert and hence prefer not to be accessible to the media though it should not be misconstrued as me being not media-savvy.

Q.How tough was it to play an air hostess in your recent release Hijack?

A.It is for the first time that I played the role of an air hostess in a film. I feel that being an air hostess is as good as being Miss India, because of the kind of grooming and training that they have to undergo. You have to be elegant and cannot afford to lose your temper on an annoying passenger.

Q.Did you do any home work to get into the skin of your character?

A.My director Kunal Shivdasani was my reference point for me, as far as inputs were concerned. Besides Kunal, I used to make it a point to stare at the air hostesses whenever I was flying, to the point of even making them get amused and even wonder what I was up to, because I do not have a friend who is an air hostess who could have briefed me.

Q.In what way do you think your character is unusual in Hijack?

A.There is absolutely no romantic track between Shiny Ahuja and me. It is indeed very refreshing change from the stereo typed commercial Hindi cinema that I do not fall in love with Shiny and he also does not even dream about me. I would say that the story is the real hero of the film, not Shiny or me. I did not play an under cover Ninja air hostess who gets into kicks and karate stuff and hence there was no need for me to do any action in then film.

Q.Name at least five films which according to you are the best in your repertoire?

A.I have always liked doing intense roles like in Darling and Ankahee. Yuva, Ankahee, Darling and Dhoom are what I’d say the four best films in my career.

Q.Why are you still single and as yet unattached?

A.I suppose every daughter looks for a bit of her dad in every man that she comes across. That greed is there still in me. Unfortunately I think they do not make men like my dad any more. As far as my Mr Right is concerned, instead of opting for an arranged marriage, I would not mind living with a guy for two years and marrying him after I know him for what he is.

Q.Will you be able to convince your parents about living in with your boy friend?

A.My mother is quite practical and she would not mind, though I cannot say the same thing about my dad too.

Q.Tell us about your growth as an actor over the years!

A.Frankly I feel I was very oblivious to a lot of things about me earlier and I have learnt by trail and error method as an actor. I think I have matured quite a lot now and am more spontaneous now. At one time the industry used to call me a brat. I had started at the age of 18 and was enjoying parties. Now when I sit back and think, I feel I should have waited because I was like a kacchha limbu in the beginning because my back ground was protected but now I have become mature and wiser.

Q.In what way have you changed?

A.Earlier I used to say yes to every offer but now I have learnt to sift and sort out. In fact I would say that in have changed my perspective towards the kind of work that I do now. I have become more selective. In any case since different layers of films are being made now, after working with a young new director like Kunal Shivdasani, I am now looking forward to working with younger directors like Shriram Raghavan

Q.Did your hot bikini avatar work in your favor in Dhoom?

A.You bet my bikini worked in my favor and it worked. I have always been frank enough to say that if you have it you should flaunt it the right way. In any case, I think that today every other actress is sexy and hot.

Q.What do you think has gone wrong with your career?

A.The choices that I made as far as my career were wrong. I have always gone by my instinct when I choose a role. I expected a lot from cash but what can one do when things go wrong? I wanted a break because I wanted to look at myself in the perspective of an outsider and get a breather. I did a course in Russian ballet and came back to India.

Q.Is there any film of yours on the floors as of now?

A.I am working in PVR Pictures Exchange Offer in which I have been teamed opposite Rahul Bose. It is a light film with Shivam Nair as the director, about a contemporary young couple. Om Puri has also been cast in a very pivotal role in the same film

Q.Have you seen Bobby Deol’s Chamku? Do you voice your criticism against his or Sunny’s performance or comment about their films at any time?

A.How can I? Both Sunny bhaiya and Bobby bhaiya are senior to me. I tell them when I like their films or their performance, but never dare to criticize them at any time.

Q.Are there any plans of reviving your mum’s banner?

A.Yes. Mom is keen on reviving her H.M Creations. Though she had decided to take a break after making Dil Aashna Hai and Mohini, because times were not conducive to filmmaking, now that several corporate companies have jumped into the fray, we are looking at a lot of scripts.

‘I am fond of Govinda’
The gutsy Esha Deol on her latest release Hijack and more
What was the best thing about playing an air-hostess in Hijack?
I had never played an air-hostess before and the chance to play a very gutsy, brave one was very exciting.

Is it true that your co-star Shiney Ahuja and you did not get along?
The fact that both of us are introverts and would head for our make-up vans after a shot must have sparked-off the rumours. He’s a fabulous actor and I would love to work with him again.

Why do you do such few films?
I signed several films after Dhoom and ended up doing some film which did not do much for my career. I’m being extra choosy now.

Are you very short-tempered, as reported?
I’m not short-tempered, but very clear about right and wrong and very honest in my reaction.

What is your one fitness secret?
Don’t eat after eight!

Which film would you have loved to be a part of?
Taare Zameen Par, I loved it!

Why were you replaced by Sagrika Ghatge in Raftaar?
I was not replaced, I could not do the film as the dates were clashing with another film.

Will we see you and your mom in a film together?
Yes, mom is very keen to revive her production house and we are going through many scripts, but nothing has been finalised as yet!

Will your sister Aahna be directing it?
Aahna is too young and presently enjoying herself. It will take another couple of years before she will be ready to direct.

Which is your next release?
It’s Shivam Nair’s Exchange Offer with Rahul Bose in which we play a young temporary couple.

Esha Deol’s Goan birthday
Showbiz Desk
While the girl celebrated her last birthday rather religiously – in Tirupati, this year’s celebrations were expected to be ‘wild’. After all she was in Goa, the land of sand and surf, shooting for a film. But Esha reveals otherwise. “No, there were no wild plans for me,” she says, “There was no respite from work. But there were no complaints either since Goa is one of my favourite places.”

About the most special thing that happened on her birthday... Well, mom Hema flew down to Goa to spend the day with her. “Yes, mom was here. She always spends my birthday with me, whichever part of the globe I may be in,” says Esha, “She has come to Jim Corbett and Cape Town, too, in the past... She just knows how to make it special for me!” Hey-ma, tujhe salaam !

Double take with Hema Malini

May 16, 2009

Скрытый текст

What was your initial reaction to the idea of your big film Seeta Aur Geeta being made into a serial? Honestly, I wasn’t too happy. But later, I felt that since it was on TV, it’s okay. I wouldn’t have liked it if a film had been made. But Chaalbaaz was based on Seeta Aur Geeta and it was a hit. It was based on my film, but this is a remake. The serial is coming 37 years after the film. Do you think today’s generation will connect with it? Seeta Aur Geeta is an evergreen subject. It is humorous, light-hearted and projects the concept of good versus bad. And since it has the girl playing the central role, it is even better. Heroines rarely get a chance to do such roles. Of the two characters Seeta and Geeta, which is your favourite? I like both of them, but I think I am more like Geeta, rather I have become like her, outspoken and aggressive. My daughters used to love watching the film when they were children. Tell us some memorable incidents that happened during the shoot. There are many memories but the one scene that gave me the jitters was the one where I’m perched on top of a fan. When Ramesh Sippy narrated the scene to me I thought it was a joke. He told me it was important as it had a funny incident preceding it. Still, I was quite scared and I asked him to do it himself first. Frankly, whenever Rameshji asked me to do something that was unusual I made him do it first, like the tanga scene in Sholay. I had never driven a tanga in my life and was quite apprehensive. Another incident that comes to my mind is the skating scene with Sanjeev Kumar. It was great fun to be on the skates and the song Hawa ke saath saath filmed on us was beautiful. In fact, all the songs composed by R D Burman in the film were great. I hear that they are also using the songs in the serial. Have you seen any episodes? No, but whatever I have seen of the promos looks good. Do you think Anjorie Alagh fits the roles of Seeta and Geeta? That depends on her performance. Would you be happy if your daughter Esha played the role if the film were to be remade? I’m sure she would like to do it but I don’t want her to play the characters that I have done. I want her to do something different. She is a fine actress. Are you planning to do any movies with daughter Esha? Yes we are doing a film together. It is being directed by Deepa Sahi. Years ago you had done a serial, Nupur. That was my debut directorial venture and it explored classical dance. The dialogue was written by Gulzar. The serial was of 13 episodes and that is how I like it. Sometime back, I had done Kamini Damini, which went on for 200-250 episodes, I couldn’t continue with it, it is too tough for me. Recently you judged the show Dancing Queen on Colors. Are you open to more such shows? Yes, I enjoyed it, though I was a little shocked with the way the girls were dressed. Even some of their dance movements shocked me. But I guess that is the way it is today. sourse: http://www.screenindia.com/news/double-take-with-hema-malini/460531/

 Отправлено: 08.05.10 23:21. Заголовок: интервью про съемки ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’ (17 февраля 2010)

"MUMBAI - Esha Deol, in her own words, is bruised black and blue. After participating in a camel race in Jaisalmer and doing road stunts in Goa for her mother’s production “Tell Me Oh Khuda”, she can barely move a limb.

The director Mayur Puri and the fight master Parvez Bhai forgot I was a girl and therefore delicate in my own way. This has been the most physically demanding experience of my life, Esha, who was last seen in “Hijack”, told IANS.

Twenty-seven years after Hema Malini got on a camel in the Rajasthan deserts to sing the haunting “Ae dil-e-nadaan” in Kamal Amrohi’s “Razia Sultan”, Esha rode the camel like a pro in Jaisalmer.

In ‘Razia Sultan’, mom was singing on the camel. I was wincing in pain. For 10 days I rode the camel like a professional for a camel race along with Arjan Bajwa, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Sudhandhu Pande. I was the only girl in the team. But people seemed to forget that. But if I may say so, I had the best calves on display in the typical Rajasthani camel-rider’s costume, the kurta lungi and all, said Esha, 28.

For the first few she was in a daze.

The seat on top of the camel is so rough and so unfriendly to comfortable riding, my knees and inner thighs were constantly bruised. When my mother saw I was hurt, she was livid. But I told her to chill. And we continued shooting on the camels for a good week after that. Now I can call myself an expert camel rider, sad Esha.

Her training in kick-boxing held her in good stead.

For the last two years I’ve subconsciously been training for this film. I needed to get physically fit. Which I’ve done. And I needed to mature emotionally. That too, I think, I’ve achieved.

She says shooting “Tell Me Oh Khuda” has been like shooting three different films.

We shoot in three different continents with three different cinematographers. So it’s like doing three different films. In Turkey I shot with Rishi Kapoorji and in Jaisalmer I’m shooting with Vinod Khannaji.

Now Esha wants to bring her father Dharmendra and mom together for the last segment of the film.

It’s a dream for me to have them in the same film as me, so that one day I can tell my grandchildren, ‘I made this happen’. And I will make it happen."

- рассказывает, как я поняла, про тяжелые в физическом плане съемки в пустыне, на верблюдах, вспоминая мамин аналогичный опыт

 Отправлено: 17.06.10 10:18. Заголовок: хороший перевод этог..

хороший перевод этого интервью - с bwt.ru :

"Иша Деол, по ее собственным словам "вся в синяках". В этом месяце (прим.переводчика Elain - февраль 2010) после участия в верблюжьих гонках в Джайсалмере (Jaisalmer) и выполнения дорожных трюков в Гоа для фильма "Tell Me Oh Khuda", который продюссирует ее мать, Иша едва может пошевелить руками и ногами.

"Режиссер Маюр Пури (Mayur Puri) и постановщик боев Парвез (Parvez) забыли, что в основе своей я девушка, нежная и ранимая. Это был самый физически изматывающий опыт в моей жизни", - Иша морщится от боли.

26 лет назад Хема Малини, сидя на верблюде в пустынях Раджастана, пела песню "Ae Dil-E-Nadaan" в фильме Камала Амроха (Kamal Amrohi) "Razia Sultan / Дочь султана". А сейчас Иша профессионально скачет на верблюде в Джайсалмере.

Иша не согласна: "В фильме "Razia Sultan / Дочь султана" мама пела, сидя на верблюде, а я корчилась от боли. 10 дней я ездила на верблюде, как профессиональный наездник вместе с Arjan Bajwa, Chandan Roy Sanyal и Sudhandhu Pande (Elain - актерами-коллегами по фильму). Я была единственной девушкой в команде. Но окружающие, кажется, совершенно забыли об этом. Но если мне будет позволено, я скажу, что у меня были самые красивые икры среди актеров в костюмах раджастанских погонщиков верблюдов: курта, лонги и все!"

В первые несколько дней Иша была неприятно поражена. "Седло на спине верблюда жесткое и очень далеко от понятий "комфортной езды". Мои колени и внутренняя часть бедер были постоянно в синяках. Когда мама увидела, как я поранилась, она побледнела до синевы. Но я попросила ее успокоиться. И мы продолжили съемки на верблюдах еще на целую неделю. Теперь можно сказать, что я отменный наездник."

Иша занимается кикбоксингом, чтобы держать себя в форме. "2 последних года я подсознательно готовилась к этому фильму. Мне нужно было подготовиться физически, что я и сделала. Еще был нужен эмоциональный настрой. Думаю, получилось неплохо."

Иша говорит, что съемки в "Tell Me Oh Khuda" напоминали съемки в трех разных фильмах. "Мы снимали на трех континентах с тремя разными операторами. Вот почему можно говорить о трех разных фильмах. В Турции я снималась с Риши Капуром-джи, а в Джайсалмере с Винодом Кханной-джи."

Теперь Иша хочет вывести на экраны отца Дхармендру и маму Хему Малини в последней части фильма. "Это моя мечта, чтобы они снялись в одном со мной фильме. Я смогу сказать своим внукам "Я это сделала!", и я действительно этого добьюсь."

"Hema Malini’s yearly tribute to her mother, the late Jaya Chakravatrti, will see daughters Esha and Ahana Deol perform together. Organised in the memory of Hema’s mother, who was also a classical dancer, Jaya Smriti aims to encourage young classical dancers and honour personalities from music and
dance fields.
Dancers from Mumbai and Kolkata will perform a variety of dance forms such as Kathak, Odissi, Manipuri and Kathakali. “My grandmother was a great promoter of new talent. She was the one responsible for introducing my mother to classical dance,” says Esha. Esha and Ahana say performing at the tribute is very special as they both shared a loving relationship with their grandmother.

“My mother was very supportive of all the art forms. She supported young girls for their Arangetrams financially. Initially, Dharamji was not keen on Esha and Ahana learning dance. But now he extends his full support and is in awe of them,” says Hema. Esha reveals that as children, both the sisters were reluctant to learn dance and their grandmother was glad when they finally got around to learning it. “Grandmother was very strict with our mother with regard to dancing. However, she was always lenient with us and mom would exclaim how unfair it was,” laughs Ahana.

“Grandmother would give me tips to help me improve my dance and show me how to be more graceful and expressive. I would go to her for advice. We would even paint together. Performing at her tribute is going to be emotional. She was truly an inspiration,” recollects Esha. Ahana remembers her grandmother as a friendly, humourous and powerful woman. “I have learnt a lot from her. She was very affectionate and we would have a lot of fun together,” remembers Ahana.

Upcoming dancers Vishal Krishna, Renjish Nair, Tanushree Das, Aparna Mane and Mahiri dancers will perform at the tribute. This year onward, Natyavihar Kalakendra will be honouring Ravindra Jain and Dr Kanak Rele, from music and dance fields."

Long absentee Esha Deol back in the fray
Geety SahgalPosted: Fri Mar 25 2011

Just back from the editing studios of her home-production Tell Me Oh Khuda, Esha Deol may not have been visible on the big screen for two years, but she’s been busy. Esha’s eyes twinkle as she gets candid on her soon-to-release film, famous parents and sister Ahana.

You seem very close to your dad?
Yes, like all girls I am very close to dad and can share everything with him. He’s a very warm human being and just smothers you with his love. But I am closer to mum. We are like buddies –– we share clothes, shop online together and when abroad, I take her partying. Even professionally, we are compatible, as she is tech savvy with the computer and her ipad.

Your dad was always possessive and protective of you, and was never really keen on you doing films. How come he agreed to work with you in Tell Me Oh Khuda (TMOK)?
Even I was shocked when he said, yes. Earlier when we would be discussing, I would casually ask him to be part of the film and his response was always, hain main sochta hoon. Then one fine day he came home and said he’d do it. At first I couldn’t believe my ears. I think God answered my prayers. It was like a dream come true.

What was the first day of shoot with him like?
I remember we were shooting in Goa. The night before the shoot I would get up every one hour and wonder how it was going to be. But once the camera rolled, we were in character, like any two professionals. Later he told me that he too had a restless night. Basically we are similar in nature and the chemistry between us will be there for all to see in the film.

Being your home production, you must be involved in several other departments as well?
True! In all my earlier films, it was just acting, dubbing and promotions. But with Tell Me Oh Khuda, I have been there since we started bouncing off story ideas right up to the ongoing post-production and the recording of the title song. I am enjoying the entire process throughly. I have learnt so much about filmmaking, especially editing and also realised how much hard work goes ino a project. Thankfuly we have a very good team. The background score is given by Sanjay Wandrekar who did the background for 3 Idiots and Munnabhai, and Rameshwar S. is the editor. He worked on Dhoom.

Is TMOK your comeback film?
I guess that’s because my last film was Hijack, which released in 2008. But I can’t hold a placard in my hand saying that it is not my comeback. I was always here but doing my own thing. I was in Chicago at my cousin’s for a while where I did an advanced course in ballet dancing. I had a great time walking on the beaches, shopping at the stores, something which is not a comfortable thing here. It was rejuvenating after having worked for seven years. I was getting offers too, but what excited me when I started out at the age of 18 no longer impressed me as I had matured over the years. And then mom was keen on reviving our home production, so I wanted to work in our own film.

So what is the film about?
Tell Me... is a family drama, but with a lot of momentum and visuals, because it is the journey of a girl’s search for her father with her two friends (Arjan Bajwa and Chandan Roy Sanyal).The story travels to Rajasthan, Turkey and Goa and is packed with exciting stuff like a camel race and some stunning action scenes picturised in Goa and Turkey.

What’s your character in the film like?
I am playing a regular Mumbai girl, who is bubbly, smart, happy-go-lucky and inspires other girls on how to woo the right boy! I didn’t have to look skinny or voluptuous, just my normal self, and since there is a lot of travelling in the film, I am not dressed glamourously. Mom didn’t want my straight hair so we got it tonged. I identified with my character and was as natural as possible. Since I have a lot of male friends in real life, I have used the lingo I use with them in the film. Arjan is my romantic interest and Chandan plays my childhood buddy.

How was the transition when your mom Hema Malini replaced Mayur Puri, the original director of the film?
There were creative differences between Mayur and mom, hence we decided to part ways. The film was delayed by a month or two, otherwise it was a smooth transition. Certain parts were re-shot but then our team was very supportive. Mom’s done a fabulous job. Guess all is well that ends well.

How would you describe your mom as a director?
Oh, she’s a hardcore professional! No mama- baby happening on the sets. Otherwise she’s open to my suggestions. But having been an actress she knows how to take good shots of the heroines. Also her vision and shot break- down is pre-planned, and is all beautifully sketched on paper.

Besides your dad, the film also has Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna.
I am lucky to have got a chance to work with both. Rishi uncle is so young at heart and full of masti. He is vociferous and would yell at me ‘what nonsense’ if he didn’t like a shot. Vinod uncle, on the other hand, would make suggestions softly and gently. Both thought of the film as their own home production and took genuine interest. Dad, Rishi uncle and Vinod uncle have a couple of scenes together in the film. You should watch out for those.

Did you watch Yamla Pagla Deewana?
Of course! I loved it. I liked the way dad promoted the film. I have never seen him promoting any other film the way he did YPD.

What’s happening with your other films, Garam Chai and Exchange Offer?
Both the films are almost complete. There were some financial problems, but now I really don’t know what is happening with them.

What else are you up to?
In these two years, I have matured a lot and am now open to a lot of new things. I am a hands- on producer for my sister Ahana’s film and am looking at more scripts for my production house. But my first love is still acting.

What about television?
I may turn a producer on television with mom, or perform as a dancer, but I can’t see myself anchoring a show!

Esha Deol wants an all family cast
TNN | Apr 14, 2011,

Esha Deol has certainly not given up the hope to have her a big family reunion on screen. She has been dreaming of acting in a film which stars Dharmendra, Sunny, Bobby, Hema and her sister.

Esha who has just turned producer, says, "It would be fab to work with the entire family. I'm certainly keeping this option open in my production house's to-do list." Esha, who has shot with her dad for the first time for Tell me Oh Khuda, has been bowled over by her pa's ease in front of the camera, "He is an effortless actor and I got to learn so much from him.

I couldn't believe that I was acting with my father – something I always wanted to do. It is the best moment of my acting career." This is where you say "Awwww."

Anyone interested? Dharmendra is looking out for a boy for Esha Deol
Published: Saturday, Jun 18, 2011



Actor Dharmendra’s known to be quite an authoritative figure when it comes to being a dad to sons actors Sunny and Bobby Deol, but when it comes to daughters Esha and Ahana, he’s purely a doting father. “You have to be stricter with sons to discipline them, but daughters are more special,” says the veteran star. “Yes, papa’s more of a friend to us. I can discuss just about anything with him,” chips in Esha. “You know that someday they will get married and go to their husband’s house. So you want to hold on to them even more dearly,” says Dharmendra rather emotionally.

Tomorrow being Father’s Day, though both Esha and Dharmendra insist that all days spent together are special to them and not just Father’s Day, they admit that they do look forward to celebrating it. In fact, Esha even recalls picking up cuddly teddy bears and cards for her dad. But this time around it’s Dharmendra who’s a dad on a mission as he reveals, “We are looking for a boy for Esha!”

Yes, talks of Esha’s marriage have already begun in the Deol household, even as Esha says that there’s still time. “Arranged marriages are not for me. I need to fall in love, but yes parents’ approval matters the most,” she says. “Looking for the perfect boy for your daughter is never easy.” And Esha is quick to add that it’s going to be tougher since ‘Papa’s set such a high benchmark already.’ “Every girl looks out for her father’s qualities in her husband as well. It’ll be hard to find anyone matching up to him.”

But Dharmendra reveals that as a father he does have one regret — that he did not encourage Esha to take up football. “Esha was always so good at it, I wish I had allowed her to play on a national level. I didn’t because I was over-protective. Today I do feel the pinch.” But Esha brushes it off. “Dad did what was best for us. All I know is that as a dad he has given us the best memories a daughter can ever have and that’s what I will cherish for life,” she smiles.

В тему семейного общения не могла не утащить. Если что - стереть-то всегда можно.

Вы думаете, что парни бояться вашего отца и братьев?
Так и есть. Но это работает на меня, в большинстве случаев. Мой папа и
братья - всегда рядом, но я свободно могу общаться с парнями.

Братья - во множественном числе.

спасибо дружественному сайту

ПЕРЕДАЧА «РАНДЕВУ С СИММИ ГАРЕВАЛ»- ИНТЕРВЬЮ С ХЕМОЙ МАЛИНИ, ИШЕЙ И АХАНОЙ ДЕОЛ (1999)

ЧАСТЬ 3 (Отрывок)

-К кому вы ближе- к Санни или к Бобби.
Иша- Мы близки к обоим. Но с Санни мы бываем чаще, потому что, когда мы едем за границу, в Лондон-я, моя мама, мои друзья - мы там проводим с ним длительное время. Брат Бобби также приезжает иногда, но нам удается проводить больше времени с братом Санни.

-Я никогда не встречала их.
Хема- Очень хорошие ребята.

-Насколько они различны?
Хема- Санни больше похож на отца, точно, как отец- Дхарам-джи: его лицо, поведение, манера разговаривать. Да? Я могу много наблюдать Дхарама и Санни. Очень хороший парень.

-А как Бобби? Он весёлый…
Хема- Да, он моложе, вот почему они очень отличаются.

-Кто преподнёс самый приятный подарок?
Иша- Брат Санни. Он подарил мне забавную обувь, на подобии кедов Nike, потому что я люблю играть, и всякий раз я иду и прошу его, что я очень хочу пару молодёжных кедов Nike , и у меня их много лежит в шкафу, подаренных им.

Ахана-…я получила Disckman и Walkman (портативные аудиоплееры)

Эша Деол о Дхармендре: У меня его телосложение

Он (Дхармендра) мотивирует не только меня, но и всю нашу нацию. Он первый настоящий мужчина в нашей индустрии, и все его роли были основаны на атлетизме. Благодаря ему у меня атлетическое телосложение и определенные стрижки, которые редко бывают у женщин. На самом деле, мое телосложение в точности как у него. Когда я играла в футбол на поле, мои тренеры обращались ко мне по имени моего отца. Я с раннего возраста занималась фитнесом, потому что на меня повлияли он и моя мама.

Он всегда гордился тем, что я занимаюсь спортом. Когда я была ребенком, я просыпалась в 5 утра и тренировалась на пляже в футбол или гандбол. Я следовала его советам по поводу физических упражнений и правильного питания. Наблюдение за тем, как он играет в бадминтон, также оказало на меня влияние. Фитнес является частью нашей беседы и сегодня.

Мой папа так вдохновляет! Даже сегодня он просыпается в 5 утра, чтобы позаниматься дыхательными упражнениями, йогой и медитацией. Он любит кататься на велосипеде и часто ходит пешком. Он делает многое, чтобы оставаться в хорошей умственной, эмоциональной и физической форме, и всегда повторяет, что все эти три фактора важны. Я согласна с этим и, следовательно, также практикую такие виды деятельности, как боевые искусства, кикбоксинг и танцы, которые отвечают всем трем аспектам.

Он - самый большой и лучший пример, с которым мы живем. Он влияет на всю нашу семью, чтобы мы не только прекрасно выглядели, но и чувствовали себя в форме. На самом деле, я сейчас с дочерью за пределами Индии и вижу ее набор спортивного снаряжения. В таком юном возрасте она говорит, что хочет быть в тренажерном зале и заниматься спортом. Радхья любит боевики, такие как "Парень-каратист" и "Чудо-женщина". Обе мои девочки любят внеклассные физические нагрузки. Они крепкие девочки, которым нравятся тренировочные лагеря и занятия плаванием. Традиция продолжается в нашей семье.

Эша Деол о своей связи с Санни и Бобби Деолами: «Я привязывала ракхи к своим братьям с детства»

В недавнем интервью Эша Деол выразила нежелание оправдывать свою связь со своими сводными братьями Санни Деол и Бобби Деол, подчеркнув, что их динамика - это вопрос, который не должен волновать посторонних.

Эша Деол вместе со своими сводными братьями Санни Деол и Бобби Деол привлекла к себе значительное внимание, когда они позировали вместе во время специального показа фильма «Gadar 2». Несмотря на склонность семьи Деол держать свои личные дела в секрете, фанаты по-прежнему заинтригованы их отношениями. В недавнем интервью Эша выразила нежелание оправдывать свою связь с братьями, подчеркнув, что их динамика — это вопрос, который не должен волновать посторонних. Санни и Бобби — сыновья Дхармендры от первого брака с Пракаш Каур, а Эша и Ахана — его дочери от второй жены, актрисы Хемы Малини.

В беседе с ETimes, Эша уточнила, что фотография, сделанная на показе «Gadar 2», не была запланирована заранее, а скорее была спонтанным и искренним моментом. В то время как зрители и зрители были тронуты их совместным позированием, Эша отметила, что в их семье есть множество таких фотографий.

Эша поделилась, что они испытывают взаимное уважение друг к другу. Хотя она признает любопытство публики из-за их статуса знаменитостей, Эша твердо заявила, что вопрос о том, связывает ли она Ракхи со своими братьями, остается частным и выходит за рамки «чьего-либо дела».Однако позже она рассказала, что действительно связывает Ракхи с Санни и Бобби каждый год с тех пор, как она была ребенком. Эша также подчеркнула, что они не чувствуют необходимости подтверждать свои отношения кому-либо.

Когда Хема и её дочери не присутствовали на свадьбе сына Санни, Карана Деола, появились предположения об их отношениях друг с другом. Однако после замечательного успеха «Gadar 2» Эша похвалила Санни за его исключительную игру в фильме. Она рассказала India Today: «Я знала, как много брат старался для этого, и это действительно очень много значило для него. И когда у него все так хорошо, мы все одинаково за него рады и это вполне заслужено. Только Санни Деол может сделать то, что он сделал в таком фильме, как «Gadar 2».
