Second chances

Esha Deol is the talented daughter of Hema Malini and Dharmendra. She learnt classical dance from her mother since childhood. Her lineage and good looks ensured her an entry in films. She made her debut in Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe (2002), which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Debut (Female). Following a series of successful films, Dhoom (2004), Kaal. Dus and No Entry (all 2005), she went through a spate of films that didn't fare well at the box-office. She then got married to businessman Bharat Takhtani in 2012 and became a mother to daughters Radhya and Miraya in 2017 and 2019, respectively. Now that her kids don't need her full-time attention, Esha has made a move back to acting. She was appreciated for her roles in the OTT series Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness and Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega. The actor comes clean about facing the limelight once more and the empowering magic of motherhood. Excerpts: 

YOUR WORK ON THE OTT IN RUDRA AND HUNTER HAS MADE PEOPLE SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE OF YOU ONCE MORE. ARE YOU HAVING FUN AT THIS STAGE?

Rudra is my second OTT web series. This is my second inning. I began working on OTT with Ajay Devgn and then with Anna (Sunil Shetty). So because these are people I’ve already worked with, it didn’t feel like I’d left. Rudra and Hunter have both been well received, which is encouraging. When people appreciate and enjoy what you give them, you feel good. I hope to work on many more worthwhile projects in the future. OTT and films, in my opinion, are good jugalbandi for any artiste. There are many stories that need to be told. And if OTT provides you with a platform, that is fantastic.
