Esha, Bipasha bond over ‘Raaz 3′

Bollywood newcomer Esha Gupta says she has been a fan of Bipasha Basu, with whom she shares screen space in “Raaz 3″.

“I have been a big fan of Bipasha. I have seen her on the big screen and the scene in which she comes out of the sea wearing a white gown (in ‘Jism’). Left a strong impact on me. In fact not only on me, but millions in our country and I was one of those. Now I am really honoured that she is my co-star in ‘Raaz 3′,” Esha told IANS.

Esha, who is creating waves with her performance in “Jannat 2″, was conscious that Bipasha is her senior and so she made it a point not to have many retakes.

“Bipasha made my presence felt because she is someone who is very secure.I wasn’t intimated, but I was definitely nervous because I didn’t want to give many retakes and make a star like her wait,” the 27-year-old said.

“She is lovely. She makes sure that she gives you all the attention and helps you. I didn’t feel that I was not in the film, because the film revolves around three of us… So all three of us - me, Emraan (Hashmi) and Bipasha - have our own part in the movie,” she added.

“Raaz 3″ is directed by Mohit Suri.
