“He said that you will have to wear a bikini, so are you ready to do that? So I said just give me one day, let me take permission from my mom whether I can wear a bikini. Then I came home and asked her. I was very scared when I was asking her. Her reaction was very different. She was like yeah, wear. What is in that? You wear it with your friends or when you go on holiday. But, make sure it’s shot nicely. So I went back and told him.”

Responding to the same, Esha said that she was naive at that time and revealed how she was taken aback when she read articles about her performance being compared to her mother's, who is a veteran actress. In her words:
“I didn’t know till it happened. I was only 18 when I started acting, and at that age, you are very naïve, very excited, you’re gonna act and all that is there. When you see certain things and you’re reading some article, then you realize they are comparing my first movie’s performance to my mom who’s done maybe more than 200 films.”
