“I'm glad that I have, Manuel (Campos Guallar, Spanish-entrepreneur boyfriend) in my life. He's helped me set up a business (a restaurant in Spain). Coming from the service background, you don't think of business; you think of being self-made, but not really business. I always thought I'd be doing a job under someone and be in a law firm. It's easier, it's more reliable. But he's helped me secure my life. I often joke, that now you can't even leave me. You have to marry me."

“When we get married, it will be either IVF or surrogacy – depending on when we get married and what my body is going through. Manuel is prepared and luckily, he's one of those open-minded men. So, I'm not stressed when we get married. Jab bhi hoga, baccha ho jaayega. I keep telling Manuel, I want the baby to have his eyes and my skin colour. I just want to marry him because of kids. And he's like, 'But what if it's the other way around?' I reply, 'Then we will have to keep reproducing."

However, Esha also talked about the process of freezing her eggs and mentioned how anyone undergoing the process ends up gaining weight because of the hormones. For the uninitiated, Esha's aunt, who herself has been through the process, suggested the actress to freeze her eggs when she was healthy. Talking about the process of freezing eggs, she mentioned:
“I did the freezing at that time when in India it was really expensive. But I was certain that when it comes to health – anything. These (the eggs) are my kids. I'd rather freeze them when I'm healthy. If I wasn't an actor, I would have already had three kids by now for sure, I've always wanted kids, so I think I would have had three. You end up gaining weight because of the hormones. Our body is changing. You end up becoming moody, but it makes you happy somewhat because it's exciting. It's truly exciting when you're doing it because you're like, ‘Dude, you know what? Tomorrow they are gonna be my kids’."
