Esha, and not just Sunny, have caught Mahesh Bhatt’s attention : Bollywood News

For a regular viewer it may seem that Sunny Leone is the only object of Mahesh Bhatt's attention, what with the veteran filmmaker offering her Jism 2. However, come 2012 and there is another girl who would be making her Bollywood debut much before the immensely hyped porn-star who is now all set to realise her Bollywood dreams now. Esha Gupta is the girl in question who again has quite a few stories of her own to tell when it comes to her interaction with Mahesh Bhatt. For the uninitiated though, she is the young woman who would be making her debut opposite Emraan Hashmi in Jannat 2.

"The way entire Sunny Leone episode has been hyped is unprecedented. Bhatts were always known for their promotional strategies and this time around with Sunny, Big Boss and a franchise like Jism coming in handy, they have nailed it big time", says an industry insider, "However a word also needs to be spared for their other find, Esha Gupta, who has perhaps missed out on all the hype."

Esha, and not just Sunny, have caught Mahesh Bhatt’s attention

In fact even as the senior Bhatt is going around the town wooing the 30 year old woman whom he finds really 'innocent and pure', it is Esha who has already taken the lead by already shooting extensively for Jannat 2.

"When Esha came on board, it was a much quieter announcement. There wasn't much hype attached to her Bollywood arrival even though she is an established model and is a popular face on ramps, commercials and magazine covers. Of course Bhatts did declare that they trusted her to deliver goods in Jannat 2. However compare it with the kind of publicity that Sunny has managed for herself and you can see the results for yourself", says a PR expert.

On her end though, Esha is undeterred and feels that she is getting just the right kind of attention, guidance and support from Mahesh Bhatt.

"The best compliment that I received from him was when he said that I just have to be myself instead of trying to act", says Esha, "He also said that he observed this depth in my eyes that conveyed clearly that I was listening to a conversation quite keenly. When people at his level say something good about you, it is always a blessing."

Well Esha, we too would want to believe that Bhatt indeed means every word that he has mouthed.
