She admits, “I went through absolutely no grooming before I decided to take up films. All I knew was how to act and dance and I still feel that I do a good job of it. But when it came to grooming, I was horrible. It was only after I signed Dhoom that I started taking fitness seriously. My character in the film demanded me to have an enviable figure and I managed to attain it under proper supervision.”

And that’s also why I am not signing too many movies. After Hijack , I am doing a movie opposite Rahul Bose. As long as I get a role that gives me an opportunity to perform, I am game for it. I don’t regret any of the decisions that I took. Till there is nothing bad, how would we know about the good,” asks Esha
