Speaking about how men and women are treated differently in the industry, Esha said, “I wouldn’t say that they have it tough. Yes, there is a different level of challenge and boys too have their own set. As far as my father is concerned, he is possessive and orthodox, and for him, girls should be kept away from the world in a protected way. That was what he must have felt, also knowing how our industry functions. All said and done, we managed and how!” Also Read – Dharmendra Reveals Heartbreaking Words By Saira Banu During Dilip Kumar Funeral: ‘Dharam, Dekho Sahab Ne Palak Jhapki Hai’
