Esha Deol speaks out on her worst critics
Are you looking forward to being directed by younger sister Ahana?
Yes! By the way, she’s already started directing me at home (laughs)..
What does Ahana think of your work?
She is my worst critic as is my mom. They are constantly criticising my clothes, hair, looks. Both of them put together are too much to handle.
How comfortable are you with doing intimate scenes?
It depends on how the director shoots it. There are people who shoot with wrong angles, but I am very particular about these things. If I have to do intimate scenes, I rehearse it. At the end of the day, I have to get married and be accepted at home. You also have to keep in mind what your kids might think of you in the future.
How important are PR skills to survive in the industry?
I can’t do fake ‘PRgiri’. I can’t call you to my van and say, ‘Hi buddy, how are you doing? Would you like to have lunch with me? Would you like to come for a trial of my film?’ I know PR people are hired today. But I really don’t understand how if you fall or miss a flight, it makes news. I talk to the press just before a movie release, as otherwise my life is very boring.
Are you aiming to be the next number one?
I have lots of goals. There are a lot of things that are close to my heart. I don’t believe in discussing them, but I am a very ambitious person.
Can you get ahead in life just by working hard?
You could be working hard, but you could be doing really s*** hard-work and not get anywhere. At the same time, you can do quality hard-work and get somewhere. It’s your choice.
Okay, so how do you define s*** hard-work and quality hard-work?
(Giggles) For me, quality hard-work is something that is well-structured, pre-planned and well-utilised, something which earns you good recognition.
So ‘Dhoom’ was quality hard work and ‘Na Tum Jaano Na Hum’ is…
No, no, all my movies are quality hard- work. (Breaks into laughter).
