I am still treated like an outsider to quite an extent by the so-called ‘industry people’, reveals Esha Gupta!

Actress Esha Gupta has been in limelight for quite some time now for her photos that she has been putting on her Instagram account. Being an outsider, it isn't easy to make a mark in the industry and Esha feels that she is still being treated like one.

Speaking to a famous agency, Esha told, “I am proud of the work I’ve done, it was tough (journey), but I have carved the way on my own. There are times, I wish even if four of my films flop, there is someone producing films for me and making films only with me. You think ‘I wish I didn’t have this surname but that surname (referring to being a star kid)."

“I think I am still an outsider. I am still treated like one to quite an extent by the so-called ‘industry people’. It’s their body language that lets you know. I can’t blame them because even I haven’t made an effort to be a part of them. I don’t want to,” told Esha.

“People say I need to go out more to get more work. I don’t know how it works. I don’t go out, I just can’t. I can’t try to mince words, be sweet and rally behind you for work. If you don’t like me, don’t give me work. If you don’t like me and still give me work, you’ll only try to pull me down. If I am after your life to get a film, you’re still going to give work to somebody else and badmouth about me behind my back,” further added the actor.

Speaking about Baadshaho, Esha told, “This is not the kind of film where I need to jostle for space. I am not worried at all. I am not one of those who says, ‘My role is important’, I am quite secure as to why I am there."

When questioned why female actors are not seen doing more grey roles, Esha tells, "They are all so insecure, no one wants to do that role."
