Esha Gupta has been hitting the headlines due to her recent interview in which she revealed several incidents about her journey in the industry. She also talked about her infamous fight with filmmaker Sajid Khan on the sets of Humshakals. She even revealed that she walked out of the sets after her fight and did not want to do the film.
Talking about the fight with Siddharth Kannan, Esha revealed, “I had a fight. Sajid Khan and I were not at all on the same page, and we ended up having a proper fight. It happened once, and after that, things were never the same. See, I don’t like people abusing me. You should always treat people the way you want them to treat you. It’s that simple. Unhone mujhe gaali di… phir maine bhi di (He abused me, and in return, I also abused him).”
“Kuch log baat karne se pehle sochte nahi hai… frustrated hote hai (Some people don’t think before they speak… they’re frustrated for many reasons). I don’t want to talk about that because I’ve moved on from it,” she added.
When question if Sajid’s fight with her was related to the MeToo allegations, Esha completely denied it. She clatified, “No, that way I’ll give him credit. That’s why one newspaper, very early on, had wrongly added my name to Sajid Khan’s dating history, and I made sure they apologised to me for that.”
“I’ve never said anything in relation to MeToo about Sajid. In fact, when those allegations started coming out, someone even added my name to the list of people who accused him. I said, ‘No.’ Dekhiye, jahan jisne jo galti ki hai woh bolo. Like I’m openly saying now that he abused me. But Sajid never tried any of those [sexual misconduct] things with me. So I will not say that about him,” she said.
On the work front, Esha Gupta was last seen in the web series ‘Aashram’.
