Aashram 3: Esha Gupta says she loved the ‘female energy’ on sets of Bobby Deol-led show

Ashram 3 introduced Esha Gupta into the treacherous world of Baba Nirala. The actress essayed the role of Sonia, a new person who enters Baba’s world with a set purpose in mind. The actress recently opened up about how working on Aashram 3 was different from her previous projects, when it came to the amount of ‘female energy’ on sets.

In conversation with TOI, the actress talked about how most of the projects she’d worked on before had always featured a ‘strong male cast’. She gave examples of her films such as Baadshaho and Total Dhamaal, which she said had been ‘bustling with male energy’. Ashram was different from her other films in that there were a lot of female actors on the show’s sets. Saying that she liked how much ‘female emergency’ there was on sets, Gupta added “The interesting bit is that every actress has such nice, strong characters to portray.”
