Esha Gupta says she was always conscious about how she looked as a kid; reveals she was called ‘Kaali Maa’ for her dark complexion – Times of India

In an interview with a news portal, Esha recalled her early days in the industry when people around her would advise her to get skin lightening treatment done. She was told that a lot of actresses have done that. However, Esha stated that she never really understood the concept.

Not only that, the actress was at one point even asked to go under the knife to get her nose changed. According to people, it was not sharp like other actresses. Esha said that although it was hard to escape such judgements, the actress is glad that she didn’t let her confidence waver.

Elaborating further she added that growing up, one of her aunts used to call her ‘Kaali Maa’ so she was always conscious about how she looked. She also recalled how some distant relatives used to tell her mother how sorry they are that she has given birth to another girl and to add to that she was born with a dark complexion.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Esha is currently seen in ‘Nakaab’ co-starring Mallika Sherawat and Gautam Rode in lead roles.
