Esha Gupta Says She Is Still Treated Like An Outsider By The So-Called ‘Industry People’

Esha Gupta says she has stayed away from “networking” to bag films but often feels things would have been different if she had another surname. The 31-year-old actor made her debut with “Jannat 2” in 2012 and went on to do “Raaz 3D” and “Chakravyuh” in the same year. “I have carved the way on my own. I wish even if four of my films flop, there is someone making films only with me.”You think ‘I wish I didn’t have this surname but that surname (referring to being a star kid),” Esha tells PTI. The actress says because her father was in the Air Force, they travelled a lot – which meant making new friends and always being an “outsider”, something which she still feels in Bollywood.”I think I am still treated like an outsider by the so-called ‘industry people’. People say I need to go out more to get more work. I don’t go out, I just can’t. I can’t try to mince words, be sweet and rally behind you for work. If you don’t like me, don’t give me work. I am quite secure as to why I am there,” says Esha.
