Raaz 3: Esha Gupta showers praises on Bipasha Basu

Actress Esha Gupta, who is pitted against Bipasha Basu in Raaz 3, is showering praises on her. Esha says Bipasha was a delight to work with and completely different from her on-screen avatar of a scheming superstar. Bipasha plays an actress on decline, who resorts to black magic to destroy the rising star Sanjana, played by Gupta, in the film, releasing next week.

"I am only two films old in the industry but I have heard that senior actresses want to pull you down. The only experience of a senior actress I had was with Bipasha but she was lovely to work with in the film," Gupta said in an interview.

The 26-year-old actress, who reunites with Emraan Hashmi and the Bhatt camp for her second film after Jannat 2, says the supernatural horror was very demanding "physically and emotionally".

"You cannot just scream and yell unless you feel it in your whole body. I went through all the emotions that my character goes through in the film. This is why it was physically and emotionally draining. Also, there was a lot of flying around because we were dealing with the world of spirits. I even managed to injure my knee but thankfully not in a major way," Gupta said.
