Despite Vertigo Problem, Esha Gupta Performs a Dangerous Stunt for Prakash Jha's 'Chakravyuh'

It has been learnt that in spite of being a Vertigo sufferer, the model-turned actress Esha Gupta has performed a dangerous stunt for the filmmaker Prakash Jha\'s forthcoming film \'Chakravyuh\'.

Vertigo is a medical condition in which the sufferer gets the feeling of motion when he/she is stationary. The symptoms may also include nausea and vomiting. Esha Gupta is playing a tough IPS officer in \'Chakravyuh\'. In order to justify her role she needed to shoot a scene in which she had to hang from a chopper in the mid-air. Initially she was terrified by the very thought of doing the scene and had also requested for a body double, but later on took up the challenge and gave the shot.

The former Miss India International and the \'Jannat 2\' actress Esha Gupta was quoted saying, \"I have been battling vertigo for a long time. It\'s something that I deal with on a daily basis. In fact, I recently shifted into my new apartment which is on the 11th floor, but I tell my friends how I will never look down from the balcony!\"

She added, \"I was supposed to be strapped mid-air in this helicopter for a scene. But when I saw my director in another chopper with a camera shooting me, I got the courage. So I got myself strapped to the harness, said my prayers and did the shot.\"

\'Chakravyuh\' is slated to be released in October, 2012. It is produced and directed by Prakash Jha and stars Abhay Deol, Arjun Rampal, Esha Gupta, Om Puri and Kabir Bedi in pivotal roles.
