Esha Gupta

While I was growing up, all the boys used to be my buddies. I never got that special kind of attention from them, and I was the tomboy around. Although I've become an actress today, I still have those traits.

I never even wanted to be an actress. I studied mass communication and wanted to study law in Newcastle, for which I even got a scholarship. But by then, I had started modelling. So, I took a year off to decide what to do. But once you are used to working, it's difficult to get back to studies.

I still don't know what genre I fit into. I want to try my hand at different things and find out what I am best at. I want to discover myself as an actress.

If a woman goes out with different men on different days, women only will question her character and call her all sort of names.

I enjoy cooking for people I am close to.

It wasn't easy for me to start in Bollywood because I was an outsider.

Women will always be beautiful no matter what, and that's their specialty!

I don't think women in India are vulnerable.

Being a vegetarian really saves lives.

My parents are extremely proud of me.

You need a strong family because at the end, they will love you and support you unconditionally. Luckily, I have my dad, mom and sister.

I am a die-hard romantic at heart and love the idea of love. But, when it comes to love, I kinda believe in the old world charm of romance - where there's mystery and intrigue.
