Esha Deol had created a stir back in 2005, when during the shooting of her film, Pyaare Mohan, she had a heated verbal argument with her co-star, Amrita Rao, which ended on an ugly note when Esha slapped Amrita. Well, it was reported that Amrita had said something nasty about Esha, which infuriated her and in the heat of the moment, she slapped her in public. Though back in one of her interviews, she had said that she didn’t regret whatever she did. Fast forward to now, Esha has a different take on the whole fiasco.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Esha Deol looked back on her past, especially the popular episode where she ended up slapping her co-star, Amrita Rao publicly. She mentioned that what had happened back then, shouldn’t have occurred since she was a 20-year-old girl, quite impatient and rash in her decision. In comparison, Esha mentioned that she was much calmer and patient now, and emphasised that Amrita, too wouldn’t have behaved in the same way now. Esha mentioned:
“The 20-year-old Esha did it. What happened shouldn’t have happened so that is why the action happened. But now I’m a patient and I’m sure that person also wouldn’t have done what they did that day.”

In one of her earlier interviews with Lehren Retro, Esha Deol had claimed that she had let bygones be bygones and had forgiven Amrita Rao’s rude behaviour towards her. Well, she mentioned that with Amrita’s verbal abuse in front of the filmmaker, Indra Kumar and other members of the crew had made her insecure, and she was left with no other option than to protect her dignity with such a move. Esha added that their relationship over the years has improved as well. She said:
“She recognised her mistake, apologised to me and I have forgiven her. Our relationship has improved.”
While things seemed to have visibly improved between the two actresses now, back in 2005, right after the incident actually occurred, Esha Deol, in an interview with The Times Of India, had simply stated that she didn’t really mince her actions, and even expressed that she felt Amrita deserved the slap. As a result, she didn’t for once regret her gesture towards Amrita.

Well, not just Esha, but her mommy, Hema Malini also supported her stance of slapping Amrita Rao over a verbal altercation. During her appearance in the show, Aap Ki Adalat, Hema once talked about the infamous incident and supported her daughter. Justifying her daughter's stance, the veteran actress had mentioned:
“Dekhiye, agar koi galat baatein kehte rehte hain aur samjhaane ke baad bhi nahi samjhte hain toh kuch alag dhang se samjhana padta hai."
