People only want to see beautiful girls: Esha Gupta

Models are beautiful, and they can act, says Esha Gupta, who believes that the transition of a model from the ramp to celluloid is often successful because the audiences like to watch beautiful faces on screen. “Look at Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif… they are one of the best actresses we have these days, and they all used to be models. The bottomline is that everyone wants to just see beauty and models are beautiful,” Esha told IANS. “At the end of the day, you need to be presentable, because the janata wants to see a beautiful girl on screen, who they can go home and imagine about. That’s how it works around the world. “When I saw Bipasha Basu coming out of the water in ‘Jism’, wearing that white outfit, I being a girl drooled on it. I imagined what I’d look like in that scene. Everyone wants to see beauty. It’s just that models are good looking, and we get a chance, we are well aware of the industry, focus well, do our acting course and enter the industry,” added the 26-year-old. “When you’re on the ramp, we are ourselves and showcasing shoes, clothes, and representing products – but when you’re an actor, you’re never the same person. I am never Esha Gupta. I am always some character,” she said. Esha has also shot her third film, Prakash Jha’s “Chakravyuh” — and as one expects, the movie will present her in a “completely different look”, the actress confirms.
