As Aashram is gearing up for another exciting season, Esha Gupta will make her appearance as the latest ‘khiladi’ to tackle Baba Nirala. The actress recently opened up about her character Sonia in the series as well as her experience of working alongside Bobby Deol.

In conversation with The Indian Express, the actress talked about how her character was an ‘image builder’ who was brought in for the sake of changing Baba’s image. Gupta said that as Sonia becomes more involved in the Aashram, viewers will be left wondering whether she is actually playing the game or being ‘sucked into it’. Saying that the story will be an ‘interesting’ one, the actress credited director Prakash Jha for helping her with the role by explaining the job of an ‘image builder’. “That side of Sonia’s personality will also keep you hooked”, she said.

On working with Deol, Gupta revealed how she had grown up seeing the star on screen, and dancing to his songs. She recalled how he had barely talked when they first met. But after the duo had done a scene together, she had told Deol about how she used to dance to his songs, and had even done a step for the actor. Hearing this, Deol had started laughing and Gupta had told him how it was her ‘childhood dream’ to share the screen with Deol. The actress talked about how ‘nice and humble’ Deol was and said she was glad the actor was getting the recognition he deserved.
