“I am reuniting with Vikram Bhatt after our previous endeavour Ankahi which was years ago. I am playing a lawyer in this one which is challenging because I have never played a character such as this. I think I am in good hands as far as the challenge goes.
This is my comeback on the big screen but I worked in webseries such as Rudra and Hunter, also I worked and product Ek Dua and won the National Award. Plus I was busy raising two daughters simultaneous. But I feel when you are passionate about something, you can't contain it for too long, it has to be ignited.
Adah Sharma who made her debut with 1920, with Vikram Bhatt maintains that the envelope and energy at a Bhatt film set is very positive. "He makes everyone feel like a star even if it's their first film including the assistants and technicians. And that fact makes things easy for everyone who worked with him (Vikram). He knows the intricacies of human emotions so well and he captures it all masterfully," says Adah.
Ishwak Singh who is on a roll after Paatal Lok's newest season maintains that the challenge likes in the execution, no matter how solid a material one gets to play with on paper. "I liked the lines, the scenes and the milieu in which this character is set.
Vikram is so giving and generous that both as performer and as a person one is put at ease and things only get better from there. It's also about capturing those tender, fleeting moments,the interactions you have with your co-actors on the set, the fun and the fights to translates into a performance and enhances it too," stresses Ishwak.
A significant portion of Tumko Meri Kasam revolves around the intensity of love and parenthood. Is it fair to believe that the norms of love have changed, one wonders. "I am not any dating app for sure but I am a romantic at heart and I am very old school when it comes to love. I believe love comes to you at the right time and at the right moment, I am waiting for it now," confesses Esha.
"I think being in love is about sharing the same value systems. Two individuals can be very different from each other but if they work out on their differences, co-exist and share the same principles and values system then they tend to stay together." adds Esha.
About embracing motherhood Esha states that it's the best feeling in the world which every woman should experience. "Being a mother, I think that's true love. When you become a mother, it's like you are reborn! And I have experienced that twice. My daughters are my world now and my whole whole world revolves around them. Motherhood certainly changes things about you and around you for the better," concludes Esha.
