Esha Deol has probably only had her famous parents’ names to rely on these last few years. Of late, the actress’s films have vanished without a trace from the box office. With a spate of disasters like Cash, Darling and One, Two, Three to her name, Esha now finds herself at the bottom of the rung. A film opposite Shiney Ahuja titled Hijack which releases today, is her one hope for a hit. So, what is it Esha will do to resurrect her declining career?
The last time around, a sizzling makeover and an ultra-fit bod created the much-needed ‘Dhoom’. Does she have special plans up her sleeve this time? Is momma Hema going to pitch in with ideas? Wait a minute. Doesn’t dad Dharmendra own a film production house? Well, then it shouldn’t be too difficult for her to keep experimenting until she gets a hit, should it? “I can’t really say anything about that. I’m only a daughter to my dad, and not an actress. So, it’s better if the father-daughter relationship continues like that,” she said dowdily.
We were slightly taken aback, but then we promptly remembered that Vijeta Films is currently being handled by step-brothers Bobby and Sunny. So, we moved onto her dear little sister Ahana, who’s an aspiring director. Would Esha like to work in a film directed by lil sis?
“Yeah, I will work with my sister,” she says without hesitation, and this time with a little more enthusiasm. “But she won’t start directing yet. She’s young and still enjoying life, maybe 2-3 years from now,” she says. We’ve reached the conclusion that star kids don’t have it as easy, as it seems in films after all. In the big, bad world of Bollywood, Esha bhi hota hai!
Esha Deol's bikini act: There were two sole factors for the surprise success of Dhoom in the year 2004: bikes and bikini of Esha Deol. It was a closely guarded secret that Esha Deol would don a bikini for Dhoom. And in the middle of the movie, from the waters comes a scorching hot Esha Deol with a washboard belly in a sizzling bikini. The camera ogled at her as the goddess emerged wet and bold. Simply superb stuff. Though the exposure was not outrageous, the surprise element of the the bikini in Dhoom created waves in the sea and ripples in the box office.

Esha Deol has not been seen around after the debacle of her last film Hijack. Industrywalas have been left wondering where she has disappeared. But our sources have found out that she is very much in Mumbai, cooling her heels at her new House in Goregaon where she is put up with her mom, actress Hema Malini and sister Aahana. A close pal of Esha has now also revealed that she is being considered as the brand ambassador of a Paris based cosmetic giant. Reveals the close pal further, “To compete with famous International cosmetic brand L’Oreal which has star brand ambassadors such as Aishwarya Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, a rival cosmetic giant wants to rope in an Indian face that has a well toned body, is young and has got a good height.
Esha has fit their bill perfectly and the deal is under negotiations now. When things get finalized, a proper media announcement shall be made with a big event taking place in a Mumbai star hotel. Esha meanwhile is presently busy working on the interior decorations of her new House and is avoiding going to parties and film events.”
27 years old Esha now only has one film on hand, Aditya Datt’s Chai Garam opposite Govinda and Suniel Shetty. We just hope that this endorsement deal goes through for the Dhoom girl and bring her back in circulation.

Esha Deol, daughter of actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini, says that her mom wouldn't mind her being in a live-in relationship before marriage and adds that her dream man should be like her dad."I believe in a love marriage and am looking for a guy who would have some qualities of my father," said Esha, who will be seen next with Shiney Ahuja in "Hijack"."I think every girl wants her life partner to have some qualities of her father and I also want the same. My father has been the closest man in my life till now and I'm familiar with his qualities and therefore want my man to be like him," says Esha. Although her parents are looking for a suitable match for her, the 25-year-old actress is not game for an arranged marriage."My mom is a modern kind of person and would not mind if I even go for a live-in relationship with someone. I think I would like to live with him for at least two years and then think of getting married."It's always better to know a person well before marriage than getting divorced later," she quipped.According to Esha, she and her mother share many interests. "Both of us like dancing and acting; therefore we share a lot of common things among us. Besides, she has been a constant support in my life."She said Hema is now trying to revive her banner H.M. Creations, which made Shah Rukh Khan starrer "Dil Aashna Hai" in 1992."My mom is very keen to revive her banner. She thinks this is the best time to start a project as the market has really grown during the past couple of years. Also, we believe in the saying 'make hay when the sun shines'."Though they have decided to make a film, the script has not yet been finalised. "We are going through various scripts, but nothing has been finalised yet."Esha debuted with "Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe" in 2002 and in the last six years featured in several films, but success has eluded her so far. She was a part of successful films like "Dhoom", "Yuva" and "No Entry", but all of them were multi-starrers.After doing glamorous roles in run-of-the-mill films, Esha now wants to do some meaningful cinema. "Though I am happy with my sexy image, I want to do meaningful cinema. There is nothing wrong being sexy as most of the actresses feel proud if they are termed as 'sexy and hot'; so do I."But at the same time I want to do some films that also show my acting talent," she said. She is positive about "Hijack" and says it has tapped her acting potential in the right way."The role that I am playing in 'Hijack' is what I have never tried before. For the first time I will not be romancing my hero, neither will I be seen running around trees, not even in a dream sequence," said Esha who plays an air hostess in the movie."My character is experienced and believes in herself and helps the protagonist, played by Shiney Ahuja, with all her experience in rescuing the passengers." She rubbished reports that she didn't get along with Shiney on the sets of "Hijack"."It is not true at all. Shiney and I get along well and I think the media reports of my strained relations with him were just a publicity gimmick. I'm looking forward to do another film with him."Asked about working with debutant director Kunal Shivdasani, Esha said: "Kunal is an experienced ad filmmaker and he has applied his experience in making the film. He has shot the film aesthetically and also in a realistic way." "Hijack", which also stars K.K. Raina and debutante Kaveri Jha in important roles, releases this Friday.
