'I could not do more than one scene a day'
Her character Kavya in Vikram Bhatt's film is a former Miss World who falls in love with a married doctor (played by Aftab Shivdasani), and is obsessed by him. She does not care about his wife's feelings or the fact that he has a child. She just wants him at any cost.
Esha does not agree with how her character reacts, and the process of acting it out drained her.
"It was very tiring," she says. "My mother would wonder why I'd be sitting in a corner staring at the ceiling. The character really affected me. The dubbing was very tough too. I had to scream a lot. I could not do more than one scene a day."
Esha describes a time when she had to do an especially hysterical scene. "After the take," she recalls, "I was in my van throwing up. I don't know what happened to me that day. I was feeling so giddy. I was shaking. They had to send me home. I didn't tell my mom about it. She'll read about it in this interview now."
