Actor Esha Deol’s glamorous image makeover in the film Dhoom surprised many of her fans. She also appeared in a bikini in the film, and she revealed in a recent interview that she sought her mother Hema Malini‘s permission for this. In an interview with Zoom, Esha revealed that her mother reacted to her question incredulously.
“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,” Esha said.
The 2004 film, directed by Sanjay Gadhvi, was produced by Aditya Chopra and starred Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in the lead roles. The film also had Uday Chopra in a pivotal role.
The actor remembered the love that came her way after the film’s success. “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,” she said. The actor added, “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.”
The actor has earlier spoken about father Dharmendra being reluctant about letting her enter films. She called it his “orthodox Punjabi male” attitude. In an interview with ETimes, Esha had said that this was his way of showing how protective he was as a father.
Esha was recently seen in the short film Ek Duaa. The film’s director Ram Kamal Mukherjee got a special mention at the 69th National Awards.
