‘My mother liked the love making scene’

ESHA_AFP.JPG

With Raaz 3 newbie Esha Gupta has made it to two films in a row. Now with the supernatural thriller turning out to be an even bigger success than her debut Jannat 2, Esha has managed to strike big with consecutive successes. However that hasn't come without its share of controversies. In a freewheeling chat, Esha comes clean on each one of them in her own words.

On the scene involving kisses and love making with Emraan
I know some have questioned how Emraan and I could kiss and make love soon after seeing a gruesome murder. I too had similar doubts and had asked Vikram about it. His reasoning was that once you have a near--death experience, you feel very different; that you may feel a very strong sexual urge in a way like never before. Also, you may feel love very differently. I was convinced.

On her parents’ reaction to her dare bare scenes
My parents saw the film in Delhi and if there had been an issue, they would have called. They knew that I was doing a scene like that. By the way, the biggest compliment came from my mother who said that even the love making scene was beautiful.

On actually doing the “nude party” scene
Yes, of course I did it and am very proud of doing it. I won’t give away that scene to anyone for anything. Was I actually nude or not? That’s irrelevant. What I know is that in the context of the scene even if I ran nude, the whole nudity doesn’t matter. As an audience, I am sure you felt pity for that girl instead of saying ‘Wah wah, look how she is looking’. You don’t clap and whistle.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
