Actor Esha Deol, who has been open about how her family had a conservative outlook initially towards her acting career, recalled her iconic bikini scene in ‘Dhoom’ in a recent interview. She shared that she sought permission from her mother, veteran actor Hema Malini for the same.

Speaking with the entertainment portal Zoom, Esha Deol shared, ‘Of course I had to take permission from my mum about (the bikini). I feel I needed to take it, but when I went and asked, she asked me, ‘Are you seriously asking me something like this. Don’t you go on holidays with friends and wear a bikini on a beach?’ and I know that the people who I was shooting with, I was in good hands.’

She further said, ‘It was one of the most lovely, fun scripts ever, and the role of Sheena was very much resonating with me; tough chick, bindaas, and bold. Somewhere ,I am still that. I was all of that and of course I had to look toned and work out. I have always been athletic, and genetically, I have been blessed with a good physique I feel, so I had to just work harder on that and achieve what my producer Aditya Chopra wanted and the audience loved it.’

Earlier, Esha had talked about Dharmendra’s reluctance regarding her joining the entertainment industry. During a conversation with ETimes, she said, ‘It comes from him being an orthodox Punjabi male; they are known to be very protective of the women in their families. This is sort of a way of showing how protective he is and nothing else. Time takes its own course, and everything falls into place eventually.’

Esha Deol and Ahana Deol are Dharmendra’s daughters from his second marriage with Hema Malini. Earlier, Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur with whom he has two sons - Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.
