Hema Malini said THIS when Esha Deol asked her permission to wear a bikini in ‘Dhoom’ | Hindi Movie News – Times of India

Esha Deol, who made her big Bollywood debut with romantic thriller ‘Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe’ in 2002, surprised one and all with her looks in ‘Dhoom‘.
Esha’s role in the film created a lot of buzz, as it went against the image that she had created for herself on screen. The actress was recently asked if she sought permission from her mother Hema Malini before donning a bikinion screen in the film.Replying on the same, Esha told Zoom in an interview, “Of course I had to take permission from my mum about (the bikini). I feel I needed to take it, but when I went and asked, she asked me, ‘Are you seriously asking me something like this. Don’t you go on holidays with friends and wear a bikini on a beach?’ and I know that the people who I was shooting with, I was in good hands.”

The actress received a lot of love and appreciation from her fans and critics for her performance in the film. Talking about it, she added, “It was one of the most lovely, fun scripts ever, and the role of Sheena resonated very much with me; tough chick, bindaas, and bold. Somewhere ,I am still that. I was all of that and of course I had to look toned and work out,” she said. The actor added, “I have always been athletic, and genetically, I have been blessed with a good physique I feel, so I had to just work harder on that and achieve what my producer Aditya Chopra wanted and the audience loved it.”

The 2004 film, directed by Sanjay Gadhvi, was produced by Aditya Chopra and starred Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in the lead roles. The film also had Uday Chopra in a pivotal role.
She is currently on cloud nine after her film, ‘Ek Duaa‘ received special mention at the 69th National Film Awards 2023.
