Esha Gupta, who made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with the film Jannat 2, has made a shocking disclosure regarding the challenges she experienced in her early career.
The actress, who is currently starring in the web series Aashram 3 (2022), stated that she was advised to get injections for lighter skin and even sought to find out how much such an injection would cost at the time.
The actress, who has made a name for herself in the entertainment world and continues to collaborate with top actors and directors, remembered being questioned about her skin colour.
In a recent interview, Esha revealed, "At the start of my career, I was advised to get my nose sharpened. I was told my nose is round. A long time ago, people also advised me to get injections for fair skin and even I got carried away for some time. I went ahead and found out that such an injection would cost Rs. 9000. I won't name them but you will find many of our actresses with fair skin."
"Actresses have a lot of pressure to look beautiful. I would never want my daughter to become an actor otherwise she will face the pressure of looking beautiful from a young age. She will not be able to live her life like a normal, real person,” she continued.
Meanwhile, Gupta is receiving a positive response for her performance in Prakash Jha’s Aashram 3, which stars Bobby Deol in the lead role. The makers have announced the fourth season of the show as well, but there is no update on whether or not Esha will be a part of it.
