  • "I want to do various kinds of films, but no female oriented films right now," Esha told IANS.

  • She said she takes inspiration from those who made it big without any film background.
  • "There are many other actresses who don't have filmy backup including Aishwarya Rai and Deepika Padukone. I take inspiration from these actresses," she said.
  • Esha has a three films contract with Vishesh Films, and soon she will be doing her third film with them.
