Esha Gupta Reacts To Her "Proper Fight" With Sajid Khan, " Unhone Mujhe Gaali Di"
New Delhi:
Esha Gupta had an infamous fight with director Sajid Khan on the sets of the film Humshakals (2014). A decade later, Esha recalled how Sajid verbally abused her and how she retorted back during a conversation with Siddharth Kannan recently. Esha also clarified she didn't charge #Metoo allegations against him.
What's Happening
On the sets of Humshakals, Sajid Khan abused Esha and she also replied back, revealed the actress during the interview.
Following the abuse, she wanted to leave the film but producer Vashu Bhagnani's apology changed her mind. Later, Sajid Khan also apologised to her.
"I had a fight. Sajid Khan and I were not at all on the same page, and we ended up having a proper fight. It happened once, and after that, things were never the same. See, I don't like people abusing me. You should always treat people the way you want them to treat you. It's that simple. Unhone mujhe gaali di... phir maine bhi di (He abused me, and in return, I also abused him)," Esha said.
"I walked out of the set. I went home. I didn't stay. I had also made up my mind to exit the film. But it was the producer who apologised first, even before Sajid did," Esha added.
Sajid Khan, #Metoo And Esha Gupta
When asked Sajid Khan's misconduct was directed at her as she accused him of #Metoo, Esha clarified it's a rumour and their fight had nothing to do with #Metoo. Esha also mentioned a publication had to apologise to her for quoting her name in Sajid Khan's dating history.
"No, that way I'll give him credit. That's why one newspaper, very early on, had wrongly added my name to Sajid Khan's dating history, and I made sure they apologised to me for that," she said.
The actor added, "I've never said anything in relation to MeToo about Sajid. In fact, when those allegations started coming out, someone even added my name to the list of people who accused him. I said, 'No.' Dekhiye, jahan jisne jo galti ki hai woh bolo (Look, whoever has made a mistake, call them out for that)." "Like I'm openly saying now that he abused me. But Sajid never tried any of those [sexual misconduct] things with me. So I will not say that about him."
In A Nutshell
A decade later after the incident happened, Esha Gupta clarified her fight with Sajid Khan had nothing to do with #MeToo allegations. Actually, Sajid verbally abused her and never tried to sexually manipulate her.

Esha Deol spotted with ex-husband Bharat Takhtani for the first time after divorce, board a flight together
In a rare and unexpected moment, Bollywood actress Esha Deol was seen alongside her former husband Bharat Takhtani at the Mumbai airport on Friday, marking their first public appearance together since announcing their separation in February 2024. The two were captured by paparazzi as they arrived in the same vehicle. A video shared by celebrity photographer Sneh Zala shows Bharat stepping out first and attending to their luggage before making his way toward the terminal. Esha, maintaining her characteristic grace, briefly walked in the opposite direction before pausing to acknowledge the waiting photographers with a quick pose. Moments later, she joined Bharat at the airport entrance, and the pair proceeded inside together. Shared post on Time Also Read | Esha Deol reveals mother Hema Malini's tan removal remedy: '…when you are shooting in bright lights' Their joint appearance follows closely on the heels of another noteworthy moment, Esha recently shared a family photo on Instagram in honour of Father's Day.

Here with my darling papa & Dada to my babies,' offering a glimpse into the respectful rapport the former couple continues to maintain.

In response, Esha shared that she doesn't see herself as a single mother and explained: 'I don't like to think of myself as a single mother because I don't behave like one, nor do I allow the other person to behave that way with me. Sometimes in life, due to certain circumstances, roles change.

That's exactly what Bharat and I do.' Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani were married on June 29, 2012, in a traditional ceremony at Mumbai's ISKCON temple.

'Mistry' web-series review: A lovable Ram Kapoor and a solid Mona Singh make this crime-comedy work
The nature of the performances and background music suggest the tone is going to be perennially light and lunatic but in good ways. And Kapoor surely has a ball playing Armaan Mistry read more Cast: Ram Kapoor, Mona Singh, Shikha Talsania Director: Rishab Seth Language: Hindi I haven't seen the American series Monk. It's a show about a former police officer who quits after his wife's mysterious death. His OCD has quadrupled ever since and you can sense a certain sense of awkwardness in his body and verbal language. But his mind is just as sharp and his tenacious sense of observation is marveling. Any investigative thriller or comedy needs to have a central character written with absolute precision. So when the series has been adapted for the Indian palette, you need an actor who has the nuances to replicate what has already been done eight times over. Ram Kapoor joyfully fits the bill. It's because he has dabbled with these alarming and amusing troubles in Sajid Khan's calamity called Humshakals 11 years back. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It's not a whodunit. There are multiple whodunits roped into one. Every episode has a new mystery and the only man who can solve it is Mistry. This pun was not intended. This is what the makers have called the Indian adaptation. There's Mona Singh too, who's finally getting the due she always deserved. She has headlined a show for Netflix, did a stunning appearance for a show for Prime Video. And now is the second most important character for a web series for Jio Hotstar. A reference to her Laal Singh Chaddha in one of the episodes is almost self-deprecating. The nature of the performances and background music suggest the tone is going to be perennially light and lunatic but in good ways. And Kapoor surely has a ball playing Armaan Mistry. He has always been a delightful actor. Here, he feels at ease in playing someone this complex and flawed. But he nearly turns this into a fluid performance. And Mona Singh brings the right amount of restrain, devoid of high-pitched melodrama or pretentious heroism. But there are some jarring moments too. The car shots are nothing but blatant use of the green screen due to the jittery view outside. And a new case every episode could get restless. How many cases after a point are too many cases? At least three of them involve the conflict of extra-marital relationships. And such murder mysteries and whacky whodunnits, despite trying their best to be unpredictable and unassuming, have their limitations after a point. There's a scene where Shikha Talsania, who plays the eponymous character's cantankerous secretary, hands over a pair of binoculars to her son so that he can have fun by looking around. You know he's going to witness a murder. A parallel track about Kapoor trying to deconstruct the mystery of his wife's death is conveniently addressed only towards the end of each episode so that it can end on a suspenseful cliffhanger. Is it possible to review any web show without using this word? Also, Monk was a show that began in 2002 and ended in 2009. It was a show that spanned over seven years and eight seasons. Does the Indian audience have the patience to watch a series for as many seasons? Or do our writers have that expertise that they can take a character and his world and his attributes all the way to these many seasons? Also, will any actor hang on to one particular character for almost a decade? The long lasting Criminal Justice has reached season four. Pankaj Tripathi has played all his cards and yet Madhav Mishra, the wry lawyer, pops up after every few years. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD If Ram Kapoor and his endearing Armaan Mistry is welcomed by the viewers the way Monk was in the West, he could definitely come back for few more episodes and years. He shares a love-hate relationship with Talsania. The way she makes her troubles so endearing is chucklesome to watch. She had weight issues in Wake Up Sid, daddy issues in Veere Di Wedding, and salary issues here. But she never sheds a tear. And it will be lovely to see more of Mona Singh as the no nonsense cop who truly means business. It's always a joy to watch crime thrillers sprinkled with farce and fun. And it's even more delightful to see a flawed character cracking all the inciting and intricate cases. But then we again go back to the same question asked above- How many cases are too many cases? That still remains a mystery, or maybe Mistry. Rating: 3 (out of 5 stars) STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Mistry is now streaming on Jio Hotstar Mistry is now streaming on Jio Hotstar
