Esha Deol has been the talk of the town for the last few weeks as her short film, titled Ek Duaa, got a special mention at the 69th National Film Awards 2023. She played the central role as well and produced the Ram Kamal Mukherjee directorial too. In an exclusive interview with Mid-Day, Esha spoke about choosing projects that resonate with her ideology at present.
Talking about female characters getting prominence in films, Esha shared, "Female-oriented films were there back in the day also. I remember my mother (Hema Malini), Jaya Bachchan, Rekha and other actresses pulling off solid characters and being appreciated. Now, that phase is back. Women are getting prominent and strong roles that hold some substance. They have something good to do. It is more fulfilling as an actor. This is what resonates with me now, considering the stage and phase I`m in. In the past, I have had my share of teenybopper roles and it was fine back then but now, I want to do something that I enjoy and resonate with. I want my work to reach out to people. It should entertainingly send a strong message. That`s what I am focusing on currently."
