Model-turned-actress Esha Gupta, Miss India International 2007, has bagged a three-film contract with Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt's Vishesh films, and has Emraan Hashmi as her hero in her first two - " Jannat 2" and "Raaz 3." Her first release is the sequel to "Jannat" (2008 ), and with the Bhatts and Emraan involved in a project, one can't help but ask her about the experience of kissing Emraan.
"Yes, there are a few kissing scenes in "Jannat 2", but we have shown love between husband and wife, it's not like some wild animals making out, " she giggles, adding, "I was so nervous. If someone told me, 'Wow! You kissed Emraan', I'd say, 'If you want to kiss him in front of 20 people, please be my guest!'"
Esha plays a "doctor who works for the needy. It is a very teekha character," says she. Mahesh Bhatt has an interesting take on his latest discovery, "It is refreshing to see a modern girl who can take the world on and yet retain her feminine charm. Esha has the fragrance of India with a good mix of substance and beauty." Adds director Kunal Deshmukh, "She has the makings of a star. In the last four-five years, she's the only actress who has bagged three films without a single release." "All my three films are going to be hits," Esha declares. Fox Star Studios' and Vishesh Films' "Jannat 2" releases on May 4.
