We were not allowed to wear spaghetti and short skirts and go out. And that time CCTV cameras were not there. Agar aaj kahe to woh CCTV camera hote the ghar ka. Toh jaise hee hum log ghar aaye the bada living room hota tha aur tv hota tha. So, my nani would be sitting there watching her tv, her South indian Sun tv, this, that, and all be going on."Moreover Esha had opened up about tips from mother hema malini that helped her from feeling uncomfortable on sets. Esha had said, “Back then, only the heroines and the hairdressers would be women." She added, “Luckily, my mother has experienced this industry. There were tips that I was always given to avoid getting into that zone of getting into trouble or feeling uncomfortable." For instance, when she wore a short skirt during a shoot, her man friday would place a towel on her lap between takes. Similarly, if she wore a low-neck top, she was given a cloth to cover up between shots.
