The
Deol
determination
is
blatant
on
her
face.
She
is
as
particular
as
her
father
and
brothers,
if
not
more,
about
her
health,
and
has
one
of
the
most
toned
bodies
in
the
industry.
She
made
headlines
with
Dhoom.
Now,
after
her
two
debacles
at
the
box
office,
Just
Married
and
Cash,
Esha
Deol
is
back
with
renewed
vigour,
in
Darling,
directed
by
Ram
Gopal
Verma
and
produced
by
T-series.
Esha
plays
the
role
of
a
ghost
in
Darling.
Unusual
decision,
and
definitely
a
first
in
her
career.
She
does
not
don
any
pancake,
letting
her
natural
beauty
speak
for
itself.
And
she
believes
that
she
will
be
more
popular
than
Isha
Koppikar,
although
she
plays
the
other
woman.
"There
is
a
graph
in
that
character.
I
believe
that
people
will
like
her," she
says,
brimming
with
optimism.
This
is
Esha's
first
movie
with
Ramu,
and
the
25th
film
in
her
career.
She
is
all
praise
for
the
director,
who
has
been
in
the
news
for
all
the
wrong
reasons
recently.
"Ramu
is
an
experienced
and
intelligent
director,
and
I
would
love
to
do
more
films
with
him
in
the
future," she
gushes.
What
went
wrong
with
Cash?
Esha
was
very
excited
when
she
signed
the
movie,
but
later
felt
that
she
had
made
a
mistake.
She
elaborates,
"I
thought
it
would
give
my
career
a
boost,
but
I
could
not
even
understand
the
scenes
we
were
asked
to
enact.
I
am
now
going
to
be
very
selective
of
the
films
that
I
sign
up
for."
She
also
thinks
that
the
director
should
have
had
a
clearer
vision,
and
the
actors
alone
cannot
be
held
responsible
for
a
disaster
at
the
box
office.
When
she
is
acting
out
a
role,
Esha
gives
it
her
all.
She
is
a
conventional
dresser
in
real
life,
for
example,
but
she
has
no
problem
wearing
glamorous
costumes,
if
the
role
demands.
She
says,
"It
is
my
duty
to
portray
properly
the
character
I
have
committed
to
play.
And
if
the
character
demands
that
I
have
to
wear
glamorous
clothes,
like
in
Dhoom,
then
I
give
it
my
200
per
cent."
Despite
a
bad
start
to
the
year,
the
ever
optimistic
Esha
is
looking
forward
to
her
forthcoming
releases.
"I
am
playing
many
interesting
characters
these
days,"
she
says,
smiling.
There
is
Hijack,
with
Shiney
Ahuja;
One
Two
Three,
a
comedy,
with
Tusshar
Kapoor;
and
Mahesh
Bhatt's
Jannat,
a
love
story
with
some
match-fixing
thrown
in.
"I
have
always
wanted
to
work
with
Mahesh
Bhatt,
and
now
my
wish
will
be
fulfilled
with
Jannat,"
she
says.
She
is
also
a
part
of
Rohit
Shetty's
Golmaal
Returns,
the
sequel
to
Golmaal.
Looks
like
we
will
see
quite
a
bit
of
her
in
the
near
future.
